That's where I got my copy from. They appear to be out of stock now at that store, but DG are the best!

Again, I'm gonna need help again understanding how they can remaster and re-release these albums when Motown still owns the rights

DustyGroove is great! One of the best places to purchase Old School CDs and vinyl.

Don't understand that either, but Vinyl Masterpiece and Funky Town Grooves put out quality remasters with superior sound quality. So I'm not complaining! This is a great album. Got sick of the vinyl from a family's 40+ year vinyl collection anyways.

Maybe they leased them from Motown. Since Motown wasn't planning to do anything with the albums, it's possible they gave permission for the other label to do it. It's like groups like Genesis & Motley Crue, who own their master recordings, lease them out to labels for distribution. Or like Time-Life putting out the compilations they sell on infomercials. The songs on those come from many labels, and Time-Life "rent" the songs. Rhino originally got into the business by putting out old out of print stuff, specializing in novelty stuff.

Those were some fiiiiine bros in that group! I said, damn!

I have my late Big Sister's vinyl, and "Calling All Girls" is my FAVORITE!!!!

The one on the lower left has a huge bulge on their other album cover. These guys can sing! I'll definitely be buying this. Bobby is one of the best falsetto singers in history.
