Attention Motown lovers: Motown UK has a new wave of discs arriving.... Well, we've been waiting for these for a while. On January 12, Motown UK is releasing several 2-disc sets of their more underappreciated and ignored artists' works. It appears that Motown is finally opening up the vaults and starting to release what might be the label's most interesting (and largely unheard) material. This is the beginning of (we can hope) a long series of immaculate reiusses, all lovingly supervised by Harry Weinger:

Sounds interesting.I also wish Motown would go into their vaults and release some of the stuff from their MAJOR artists that never saw the light of day...
***a 1973 Michael Jackson album produced by Stevie Wonder ***Marvin Gaye's 1979 album 'Love Man' ***a 1973 album by The Commodores that was rejected ***the third Mary Jane Girls album 'Conversation',which was recorded in 1986 but remains in the vaults ***a 1977 Diana Ross album called 'Revelations' that was never released I mean,come on...their vaults are filled with stuff that fans would die to hear!

The Jackson 5 recorded around 460 songs with Motown so its most likely that another MJ solo album exists. | |

Martha Reeves alone has 800 unreleased songs in the Motown vaults. | |
