Reak it's "On The Avenue" aka "In The Neighborhood" Ist time I seen it was on a Jobete Acetate a mate had up here, was uncredited, but think on "Cellarful Of Motown" they had it down to Jimmy Ruffin... might be wrong tho!

The Gladys Knight track is beautiful- I bought an tape at the 100club of unreleased Motown and it was on there. Recording was shite though and the track stopped 3/4 way thru.... Any chance of putting a soundfile of it up here??

All the recording of this top Gladys Knight track are poor scratchy quality, even the one on the spectrum CD. They must have lost/misplaced the mastertape. The spectrum tracks must be a vinyl acetate dub.

[Tony Smith]

Butch has the original acetate which is far from poor and scratchy!

...but does it really matter?; nice to see so much support for a track that I think, is a fine illustration of the very essence of this scene.....b.... brilliant track..

.....have you all listened to the 'Vandellas, Four Tops and 'Motown sings Motown' Unissued tracks on Hip-o-Select?????

[Tony Turner]

Gladys Knight is available in tip top condition on the double edition reissue of the 2 debutante motown CDs.
