Various Artists - A Cellarful Of Motown - The Rarest Detroit Grooves (2010) Motown Vol 4 - 2xCD + Booklet - Rare Soul (FLAC)

The Superb 4th Instalment of The Acclaimed Lost & Found Series, featuring 50 Stunning Never Heard Before Motown Treasures from the likes of Stevie Wonder, Brenda Holloway, Marvin Gaye, Edwin Starr, The Spinners Plus Many More. Also included in the 2 disc set is a beautifully designed 20 page booklet with detailed sleeve notes and annotations by Motown connoisseur Paul Nixon plus gorgeous original photos from the Motown photo archive. Featured are the usual ‘out on the floor’ thumping Motown scorchers plus newly discovered ballads and sophisticates. Some of the greatest discoveries on this collection include an amazing unheard classic ‘Why Don’t You Come Home’ recorded in 1968 by the young music genius Stevie Wonder. Also featured is an absolute stomper ‘Born To Be Bad’ from UK Favourite Edwin Starr and possibly the most special discovery of all, an undeniable 1963 classic ‘Three Times Loser’ by the incredible Marvin Gaye, proving that despite the declaration that just about every vaulted Gaye track has been discovered, the Cellarful series continues to unlock a piece of music history. Both Brenda Holloway and Barbara McNair close a CD each with examples of how artists explored their repertoire while there are more than enough core Motown floor fillers to excite and seduce the staunchest Motown fan. This sensational 2 disc set proves that the Quality Control team at Motown potentially missed many great recordings that could have become huge hits. The mystery remains as to how these fantastic gems were consigned to the Motown Vaults, but their loss is your gain some 60+ years down the road! I defy you to keep your feet still,no matter how old you are as you listen to these newly restored treasures that have been lovingly rescued thanks to the grace of modern technology. My god i totally forgot how incredible these records are!
