Hello, Music Aficionados, Aficionadas, Addicts, and Other Hip-O Select
Allies,
Who said Friday The 13th is unlucky? Just about everybody, but then any
label that opened up on April Fools Day is clearly not too worried about
superstition.
Finally, we're pleased to announce the release of The Complete Motown
Singles, Vol. 2: 1962.
Four compact discs. 112 tracks. Every single a- and b-side released by the
Motown family of labels in 1962. A real vinyl single replicating the
original issue of Motown 1032 [Mary Wells' "You Beat Me To The Punch" b/w
"Old Love (Let's Try It Again)"]. An 88-page booklet with rare photos,
track-by-track notes, and a pair of historical essays (one from Motown
artist Claudette Robinson). Sumptuously enclosed in a limited-edition
78-style record "album." All for a mere 71¢ per song.
Most of these tunes, needless to say, have never been on compact disc. And
when this limited-edition set sells out, they're gone. So let's do a little
math: "Come Into My Palace" by Lee & The Leopards was originally released in
1962. Its next release came 43 years later. So if you're a gambler, and wait
too long to get The Complete Motown Singles, Vol. 2: 1962, you should be
able to pick it up again in, um, 2048.
For all our sakes, we'd ask you politely not to wait that long.
Also, for those of you who dragged your sorry carcasses out of bed last
Sunday morning to see the Rupert Holmes feature on CBS Sunday Morning,
sorry. It will be on either this week, or in the next three weeks. Unless it
gets pre-empted, of course. If we get another air date, we'll pass it along.
Cheers,
Hip-Ocrates
