50th Anniversary/The Singles Collection/1962-1972 [3

50th Anniversary/The Singles Collection/1962-1972 [3 CD][Non-Returnable]

For the first time ever, on the occasion of the group's 50th anniversary of their first hit, every single from Martha Reeves & the Vandellas is now in one package-the 3-CD box set 50th Anniversary: The Singles Collection 1962-1972, featuring all A- and B- sides, and much, much more. Featured among the set's 82 tracks are the group's 10 top ten Pop and R&B hits, including the everlasting "Come And Get These Memories," "Dancing In The Street," "Heat Wave" and "Nowhere To Run"; also included are the Vandellas' Spanish language versions of "I'm Ready For Love" and "Jimmy Mack." Martha Reeves first arrived at Motown to audition; she ended up becoming the company's first A&R secretary, and then a star, when she filled in to sing at a session and brought her background singers along. Along with the Miracles and the Marvelettes, she and the Vandellas were Motown trailblazers, who helped develop what was to soon become the world-famous "Motown Sound." In addition to the group's singles, this collection has an incredible bonus: a full disc of 27 unreleased tracks from the legendary Motown vault. It's a big sampling of lost treasures Motown fans will devour, produced by some of Motown's greatest creative forces, including Berry Gordy, Mickey Stevenson, Stevie Wonder, Ashford & Simpson and, before his days leading The CorporationT, Deke Richards. Mr. Richards mixed exclusively for the set the six songs he produced, including an extraordinary find: the original take of "I Can't Dance To That Music You're Playin'," a single that ended up featuring Syreeta Wright in the chorus. While the set includes the original single, Richards' new mix restores Martha Reeves' chorus vocal and this discovery is a part of the "Lost & Found" tracks on Disc 3. Audio engineer Obie O'Brien mixed the rest of the unreleased material, working on vintage gear in Jon Bon Jovi's Sanctuary Studio. Another bonus: O'Brien's first-ever stereo single mix of "Jimmy Mack." Martha Reeves & The Vandellas: 50th Anniversary: The Singles Collection 1962-1972 is housed in packaging similar to the acclaimed series The Complete Motown Singles, accompanied by a booklet filled with detailed information about each single, reproductions of spectacular-looking picture sleeves from around the world, and classic and rare photos of Motown's first true superstar group.
