Description
Many moons have passed since our last “Motown Girls” project was released – but these things take time and a great deal of patience. We’re confident followers of the series will find this new volume well worth the wait.

The collection opens with ‘In My Heart I Know It’s Right’, the first song Gladys Knight & the Pips recorded for Motown, and closes with a rare opportunity to hear Mary Wilson sing lead on a mid-60s Supremes track. In between you’ll find some of the company’s biggest stars – the Marvelettes, Brenda Holloway, Martha & the Vandellas – alongside lesser-known collector’s favourites such as Liz Lands and LaBrenda Ben.

Of the 25 tracks here on “Baby I’ve Got It!”, 15 are previously unissued in any format and 10 were first made available as “Motown Unreleased” downloads between 2014 and 2017. The selections were recorded between 1961 and 1969, and – although predominantly uptempo, which should please most Motown fans – represent several variations of the Motown sound.

Compiled by Keith Hughes and Mick Patrick.

It's always nice to see a Motown compilation that goes beyond the usual hits.
