Product Description

CD Description

When, in 1961, the Marvelettes climbed to the top of the national pop charts with their first single, "Please Mr. Postman", they brought Motown with them, helping to establish the little label from Detroit. That first phase of the group’s career was thoroughly chronicled in Forever: The Complete Motown Albums Vol. 1, a thee-CD limited edition set that brought together the group’s first six albums and every stray single, B-side and rarity from the early era.

This new four-CD set is released to celebrate the 50th anniversary of "Please Mr. Postman" becoming Motown’s first No. 1 hit. With 108 songs, this set collects the group’s highly sought-after, final four albums, originally released 1967-1970: The Marvelettes (a/k/a “The Pink Album”), Sophisticated Soul, In Full Bloom and The Return Of The Marvelettes and more of the non-LP singles, B-sides and rarities issued on various compilations.

Featured in the set are the group’s best-known songs from the era, including the chart hits "The Hunter Gets Captured By The Game", "When You’re Young And In Love", "My Baby Must Be A Magician", "Here I Am Baby" and "That’s How Heartaches Are Made", as well as fans' favorite album tracks. But that’s not all: the set also includes a disc of 24 "Lost & Found" Marvelettes tracks from the Motown vaults, featuring never-before-heard songs written and produced by Smokey Robinson, Norman Whitfield, Mickey Stevenson, Johnny Bristol and more. These "vault gems" are from the group’s entire career, 1961-70.

Other rarities include: an unreleased, extended mix of "When You’re Young And In Love", with a spoken intro; the long Anthology LP version of "The Hunter Gets Captured By The Game"; a UK-only version of the LP track "I’m Gonna Hold On Long As I Can", with an extended intro; and various vault tracks, like "Love Is Good" and "Poor Little Rich Girl", found on UK CD releases in recent years. And, for serious fans, included are the extremely rare mono versions of the albums The Marvelettes and Sophisticated Soul; the latter was never issued commercially. All of this fabulous music featured in the four-CD Forever More: The Complete Motown Albums Vol. 2 is housed in a beautifully designed digipak in keeping with the look and size of Vol. 1, with a 40-page booklet stuffed with rare and classic photos, reproductions of the original LP artwork, detailed track annotations, and an essay by Motown chronicler Stu Hackel.

Format:Audio CD
Anxiously awaited by Marvelettes fans, Forever More, The Complete Motown albums Volume 2 is the final installment of this iconic vocal group's recorded output, as well as previously unreleased material uncovered in the legendary Tamla/Motown vaults. Picking up when the group had been whittled down to a trio consisting of Gladys Horton, Wanda Young and Katherine Anderon, this collection concludes when Ann Bogan replaced Horton.

Berry Gordy proudly proclaimed that the Motown sound was based on "rats, roaches, soul, guts and love." As his musical empire developed into the "Sound Of Young America" and entered the popular music mainstream expanding into upscale nightclubs and television, certain groups, notably the Marvelettes were left behind.

Arguably, even the Marvelettes album cover art and graphics were not as visually compelling as their label mates. The recording "Return Of The Marvelettes," actually only featured the voice of Wanda Young, displayed a cover portrait of three woman riding horseback, two with obscured faces. In Marc Taylor's "The Original Marvelettes Motown's Mystery Girl Group," Katherine Anderson stated "Smokey wanted me to do a photo shoot. I told them if I wasn't good enough to sing background on some of the songs, then I'm not good enough to do a cover shoot." The anonymous females were actually members of the Norman Whitfield inspired group, The Undisputed Truth. Ironically some of his unreleased tracks on the Marvelettees are to be found in this collection. As if to make up for past deficiencies, this four disc set is visually beautifully presented, featuring striking portraits of these attractive young singers in their heyday.

However, as another Motown label proudly proclaimed, "It's What's In the Grooves That Count's" and now at long last, previously hard to obtain later period Marvelettes vinyl albums have been gathered together in digital format for the first time, and what a marvel they are to listen to. "The Marvelettes" and "Sophisticated Soul" are presented here in both mono and stereo versions. "In Full Bloom" truly is the blossoming of the unique soulful Marvelettes transition to adult material. Sadly by this time, internal problems had ended the group as a performing entity. Smokey Robinson had hoped to work his musical magic on Wanda Young, married at the time to one of the Miracles, Bobby Rogers. At the last minute, it was decided that the project would be better promoted as a Marvelettes rrecording, but failed to capture the record buying public's attention. As further incentive to own a copy of this striking collection, an entire disk of 24 previously unreleased tracks sweetens the deal.

Given that this Hip-o Select collection is a limited edition of 5,000 copies it will soon sell out, much as "The Marvelettes Complete Motown Albums Volume One." The rather hefty price of this set it may not attract a new generation of casual curious fans to the Marvelettes legacy. However, finally having the complete recorded works of the Marvelettes available on compact disc now provides the voting members of the Rock And Roll Hall of Fame to no longer have an excuse NOT to be fully aware of the important contribution these women made to the evolution of pop music during their career span.

In retrospect, the Marvelettes may have been shortchanged by not having been groomed for more wide acceptance in their heyday. Throughout their career, they maintained the "rats, roaches, soul, guts and love" energy that their fans loved them so much for in the first place, their ultimate badge of honor. May their memory and the musical magic they wove burn bright forever more!

Having bought Volume 1 as soon as I could I placed an advanced order for this volume with the very highest expectations. Again, they were greatly exceeded.

The description on Amazon and the track listing are both accurate and comprehensive and I agree with every word of the other review. Anyone unfamiliar with the wonderful records can listen to samples on the album page.

The compilation completes the Marvelettes albums containing the tracks from The Marvelettes (the Pink Album - possibly my favourite of all their LPs), Sophisticated Soul, In Full Bloom and The Return of the Marvelettes. For completeness these these are supplemented by the mono versions of The Marvelettes and Sophisticated Soul, together with several tracks that did not appear on the US versions of these albums and, best of all, no less that 24 (two LPs worth!) of original, i.e. previously unissued, material! The non-album tracks span their career, e.g. "Three Months" dates from late 1961.

The quality of Marvelettes' recordings were consistent good throughout their career and I recommend this to anyone who loves 60s Motown or Girl Group records but get before the price shoots up, as with Vol. 1! If in doubt, listen to the samples.

Grand re-release 28 Feb 2012
Format:Audio CD
As the UNIVERSAL MUSIC sound forge HIP-O Select in 2009, the first original published MOTOWN albums of the Marvelettes ("The Marvelettes - Forever The Complete MOTOWN Albums Volume 1") were delighted fans of the group, these early albums by the group at last in very good sound quality to have available.

Thus, the appetite was awakened to more, but it was not until the end of 2011, before HIP-O Select the second part delivered. But ... the wait has been worth it!

The late albums by the Marvelettes "The Marvelettes" (among fans as "The Pink Album" fame), "Sophisticated Soul", "In Full Bloom" and "The Return Of The Marvelettes" to finally be available in superior sound quality. Meticulously as always, with such re-releases, has HIP-O Select the first two albums mentioned here, both the original stereo version, and the very rare mono versions in 24-bit remastered. In addition to the "different sound", there are many discoveries to be made for the fans, because various different pieces are included in a blend, and length of instrumentation on the mono and stereo albums.

HIP-O Select has outdone themselves with this 4-CD compilation collide again and set (along with the recently published expanded version of the cult album 'Diana Ross' 1976, "The Black Album") a new very high standard for re-releases.

"The Marvelettes - Forever More MOTOWN The Complete Albums Volume 2" I declare to be 'State Of The Art' in terms of repertoire and remastering care. Oh by the way ... The 4 CD compilation also contains massive bonus tracks, in the form of alternative versions and previously unreleased tracks (obviously not considered part of the original albums included, but in each case following the albums or completely separately on CD 4)

Since HIP-O has also limited the number of items in this release (only 5,000 pieces worldwide.) The work should soon be sold out, and then became an expensive collector's item to be.
