Top Motown Lp Only Tracks

MARTHA REEVES AND THE VANDELLAS....My all time favourite Motown LP only track....a truly fantastic piece of 60s Girly/Femme Soul....This thread - and it could go on for a long time yet - shows exactly what a treasure trove of tracks there are sitting on these albums and the vast majority of the dancers never celebrated on our scene simply because they don't measure 7 inches...What a sad case of neglect... :hatsoff2:

This does exist in 7'', it comes on a USA mini LP with 2 tracks on each side (solid centred). I bought one quite a few years back and it was supposed to come with a picture sleeve but didn't . The seller told me he had lost it!! Cost £30 I think....wonder if anyone out there has the sleeve to post up?? Unfortunately my single is in storage so I can't post up. ''I'll follow you'' was another of the four tracks.

Hi Rich ... this track does exist on a 7''!! It came out on a solid centred USA mini LP disc. It has 4 tracks on it ''I'll follow you'' being one of the others, can't remember the other two. Would love to dig it out and provide more details but it's in storage at a mates. It has a picture cover apparently but the UK seller who sold it to me said he'd lost it....reckoned he liked the piccy personally!! Cost £30 about 7 years back. When its back in my hands will post the details up.

The cover of the EP is the same as the "Watchout" album.

There are 3 songs per side. Side One has "I'm Ready For Love", "One Way Out" and "Jimmy Mack".

Side Two includes "I'll Follow You", "No More Tearstained Makeup" and "Tell Me I'll Never Be Alone".

Thanks yank ... my memory is coming back now!! Had it in my head it was only four tracks but remember now some of their hits were on it too. Didn't realise cover was the same...

a killer LP only track is the Monitors - Share the blame

another good one is the marvelettes "you're the one for me bobby"

Bob, Marvelettes "You're The One for Me Bobby" did come out on 45! It's on the flip of their last 45 "A Breath Taking Guy" on Tamla 54213 in 1971 :thumbsup:

( a cracking track as you say!)

Definetly one of the best Motown records ever in my book...Should have been a 45...magnificent recording from the same album as the previous M and K track....

WHICH MEANS IT AINT AN LP ONLY TRACK

KEV

OK, 30 odd years has passed, but as far as the NS scene is concerned, "Tell Me It's Just A Rumour" was album only (Soul On The Rocks) untill it was released because of major plays on the scene.

Also I'd like to add,if it has not been mentioned already, "Share A Little Love" the Monitors.

And another Marvin track, think this is album only.

Great track.

Previously unreleased, CD only I believe:

Originally released on :

The Master 1961-1984 Disc 1 #16

Then compiled by Richard Searling on Motown Connoisseurs, Vol. 2 2003

He played it regularly on CFOS during the early naughties.
