Cellarfull of Motown 3 / Various

2007 two CD set, the third volume in the fantastic collection series curated by Paul Nixon. He retrieves the best lost Motown tracks from the vaults of Hitsville, U.S.A., dusts them off, digitizes and cleans them up for release. Some have appeared on bootlegs and many are revered by Northern Soul collectors, but most will be new to most people. Motown's quality control back in the day was par excellence and even songs that were previously dismissed by the label brass or withheld from release can be considered long lost gems all these years later. 45 tracks. Motown.
