Motown Treasures

following on from my earlier post, I wonder if you can help me a little further, Dan (or anyone else) with the early Brenda timeline.

I'm assuming she was signed to motown sometime in the Fall of 1963. Is it then right to assume that the first two tracks she recorded for motown were 'each little teardrop' and 'deep freeze', which both appeared on the digital 'unreleased 1963' collection? But can someone shed any more light on when these two were recorded, as DFTMC gives the date for ELT as "by 14th Feb 1964" (even though it gives a Jobete publishing date of 29th Nov 1963), and DF as "by 17th Feb 1964" - if this is the case, why were they included in the 1963 unreleased collection?

Any ideas/firmer dates, anyone?

Thanks for that, Dan.

yes, sorry - I meant 'first hits' - it seems it was issued both in vinyl & CD format. And thanks for linking to the label scan - assuming the CD and vinyl used the same tracks, that seems to blow my last hope of finding a digital mono mix.

Thanks again for your help.

Hi everyone - just joined today, as I have a question I hope someone will be able to answer:-

Has the mono mix of 'be cool, be calm (and keep yourself together)' ever been issued on cd or mp3?
cheers.
