Dave Rimmer Posted May 22, 2014 Share Posted May 22, 2014 I got a press release email about it earlier this week, but unfortunately I can't access personal email from here. They do make a point of emphasising that the records will be pressed in top quality vinyl 1 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Rodders22 Posted May 22, 2014 Share Posted May 22, 2014 I'm Grateful by the Four Tops really is a feel good record, can't wait for the second Motown 7s collection.

Soul16 Posted May 23, 2014 Share Posted May 23, 2014 From Universal: “For Volume 2 a few changes to the box packaging have been made. We have adapted the label copy insert into a more substantial four page card leaflet. Vinyl will also be manufactured at Optimal to give the authentic push out centre hole of the time. Sleeves will be paper rather than gloss card. The selection of tracks again represent highly sought after vinyl releases compiled by journalist and DJ Richard Searling. Boxes will be limited edition and numbered.” I made a promise to myself that I would resist buying volume 2, but the track list and changes noted above have made it impossible to resist...

paultp Posted May 26, 2014 Share Posted May 26, 2014 I'm still p*ssed off about the limited edition rip off - 2000 limited edition (then we'll just keep selling it) - that's not a limited edition. I'm going to buy this second box set but as Pete says, it does look a bit dull. Who has compiled it? Cheers Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

The blame in this case is Universal, and for the Beatles, EMI, who have done the dirty. Cheers Mick I wouldn't be surprised if the big retailers, Amazon probably being the biggest, would have asked Universal to supply more box sets when they sold all of their initial allocation. This may have prompted Universal to press more copies of the so called Limited Edition. Universal should have just left it at 2,000 sets, but probably wanted to make more money. Let's see if they keep it to a limited run for Volume 2. Edited May 27, 2014 by Steve S 60 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
