Three years on to 2005 and vol 2 was released with yet more goodies.Again impossible to pick out faves from such a great array of records. The Motown vault, now owned by Universal, is estimated to be about 30,000 tapes, and is "typical of a smaller company of that era," said one motown veteran whose first hand observations were corroborated by other sources. A peek at the Motown vault serves also as a description of the holdings of other once small labels that came to prominence in the '60s. The good news in the case of Motown is that they have most of the masters and most of the multitrack reels, but engineers and producers taped over a lot of sessions. Tape was expensive. They'd get a master and then use the rest of the reel for the next session. So there aren't many alternate takes.If it wasnt for the digging and persistance of UK collectors and DJ,s along with northern soul fans this series would never had seen the light of day.
