Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review

Compiled by Jazz FM's Richard Searling, A Cellarful of Motown is a truly astonishing 40-track collection featuring 39 previously unreleased 60s cuts plucked from Hitsville's archives. It's simply mind-boggling that only one of these stunning tracks--Jnr Walker's "Riding High on Love"--received an official release at the time. Incredibly, the others flunked Motown's weekly "quality control" meetings and were consigned to the vaults. Surely no other label in the history of popular music is blessed with such a boundless provision of timeless nuggets. Each gem here has been fastidiously restored from the original master tapes, so although many of these tunes are available as vinyl bootlegs on the northern-soul scene they are generally poorly pressed with inferior sound quality. This, then, is the compilation that Motown collectors have feverishly anticipated for years. It's almost impossible to pick standouts as the quality throughout is eye-rotatingly brilliant; however, celestial moments include Barbara McNair's infectious frugger "Baby A-Go-Go", Earl Van Dyke's exhilarating instrumental stampede through "He Was Really Sayin' Something", and one of the biggest northern-soul discoveries of recent years, Gladys Knight's phenomenal "If You Ever Get Your Hands on Love". This is an absolutely essential purchase for anyone even remotely interested in soul music. --Chris King

5.0 out of 5 stars "Ain't No Place Like Motown!", 5 Jul 2002
By A Customer
This 2 cd set collection is a Motown lover's dream. 99% is culled from the vaults. 98% is brilliant. Most of these wonderful tracks should've been released as singles, especially, Barbara McNair's "Baby A Go-Go", JJ Barnes' "(Tell Me) Ain't It The Truth", Gladys Knight & The Pips' "If You Ever Get Your Hands on Love", Earl Van Dyke & The Soul Brothers "Tell Me It's Just A Rumour Baby", Marv Johnson's version of "Save My Love for a Rainy Day" and Brenda Holloway's soul drenched "All Your Love." There's just too many excellent tracks on this set. Honorable mention goes out to The Contours, The Fantastic Four, Martha Reeves And The Vandellas, Frank Wilson, Stevie Wonder,Kim Weston, Jimmy Ruffin, The Marvelettes, Junior Walker & The All Stars, The Monitors and the other 4 Brenda Holloway cuts included. Hopefully, "A Cellarful of Motown" is volume 1 of many superb collections to be released onto the marketplace.

5.0 out of 5 stars Thought you'd heard all there was to hear., 29 Jun 2002
By Mr. W. Smith "Smiffy" (Shuttleworth, Lancs United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
So after 30 yrs of listening to the same old classic tracks along comes a CD full to the brim with that magical Motown sound.In the sleeve notes we are asked why were'nt some of these tracks released when they were recorded,if we are honest their appeal lies in the area of Northen Soul and though fantastic as they are they would probably not have appealed to your average Motown listner,the handbag dancers we all see at weddings,21st etc.But what of the music,two fantastic Gladys Knight tracks,the absoloutely gorgeous Tammi Terrell singing All I do is Think of You,those Tempting Temptations with a future classic in Definite Change in you....a surprise awaits at the end of every track as one gem follows another.and lets not forget the price....for Millionaires only..not this collection....2 cds for the price of a curry and a pint.do i love this cd.in the words of Chris Clark cd1 track 5....Indeed I Do

5.0 out of 5 stars a cellarful of motown, 3 Jul 2002
By Francis Zubier (belfast, antrim United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
stormin,great,soulful,melodic,dancers.......basically everything you want in afantastic soul album.these tunes are all wonders.as soon as you've heard the highly infectious dancer baby a go-go from the wonderful barbara mcnair, you know you're on a winner.chris clarks take on frank wilsons "do i love you" is a belter too.my own personal favourite is gladys knights"if you ever get your hands on love".this is a real stormer sure to shake up any northern dance floor.another gladys tune gets its second outing having already been released on another must have motown compilation"connoisseurs".this being the slow builder"here are the pieces of my broken heart" on disc two.there are a few average tunes but the true soul fan will love this album.it gives me"goosepimples" just thinkin about it!a MUST for all northern fans.KEEP THE FAITH!!

Excellent CD of unrealeased (and rare) tracks from Motown's classic '60s heyday. Almost all the songs could've been hits had they been released at the time. Read more
