Second in the UK "Motown Memories" trilogy. Issued same year as the first (see earlier post) and by all means a twin. Also on this eight of the sixteen tracks are from the label's early years, up to 1963, and it's a resembling mix of classics and rare cuts from today less recognized acts. "My Smile Is Just A Frown Turned Upside Down" an A-side from one of just three singles Carolyn Crawford recorded in the sixties, "There's a Ghost In My House" a non-LP trial by R. Dean Taylor, Barbara McNair "You Gonna Love Me Baby" another non-LP A-side...and not least Barrett Strong "Money (That's What I Want)" - the original behind the now better known Beatles cover. Add to that hits by Stevie Wonder, Supremes, Smokey Robinson & The Miracles and a couple more as icing on the cake and you get a delicious dish...and like with all good things on vinyl it's an exemple that you actually can have your cake and eat it too...as many times as you want. For more on the separate tracks also check the liner notes below. All cuts are the original mono mixes and the audio just fine. Front image is from West Grand Boulevard, Detroit - the houses that incorporated studios and personel from the start up to relocating April 1968. To my knowledge this release was UK only and never reissued in any shape. First had label as shown here and laminated flip/back cover. (SÄM*) (TÖMÖ*)
