as well as forgotten gems from Motor Town cult figures Frank Wilson, Barbara McNair, The Originals, and Chris Clark(see the full track listing below).

Says compiler Richard Searling: "Of all the many compilation projects I have initiated over thepast 30 years, this one gives me more pleasure than any. As these previously unheard Motowndelicacies were being found in the vaults over the last decade, they have all made it onto CD,but for collectors like myself, Motown means vinyl, and to be able to hear and see these brilliantrecordings spinning around on our turntables now will be fantastic! I've put together theselections with loving attention, aimed to capture the uptempo Northern Soul sounds, and themore delicate late '60s /early '70s crossover sound of Young America that is also so popular. Asfor the artists, well how could I fail, it was like being a young kid allowed in the candy store ....wehave the sensual soul of David Ruffin, Stevie Wonder, the Four Tops and The Supremes...thedance floor dynamite of The Originals, Chris Clark, The Temptations, the magnificence of TheIsley Brothers , and let's not forget that we also have a legal reissue of the £25000 valued FrankWilson 45, "Do I Love You."
