Motown Treasures

Ruby Andrews - RIP

Those would have to be the re-recordings of Every Beat Of My Heart", "Letter Full Of Tears" and "Giving Up" that Motown did to pad out the "Greatest Hits" LP in 1970.

There is a "real" Motown connection of sorts as one of the song's co-writers is Ty Hunter who later joined The Originals.

Everybody Needs Love / Feelin' Bluesy / Silk N'Soul / Nitty Gritty - 4on2CD. I already have them all so will pass but if you haven't got them grab this. Amazing price! Also available in the US.

Dot and The Velveletts - 'Searching for My Man' (Teek) 1963 is new to me! I thought amazing I've found a rarity! However, my eyes only see what I want them to see! It's the Velveletts (note spelling) not The Velvelettes as I read - duh! Anyway they were a girl group from St. Louis, Missouri. After all that research I thought that I'd post here anyway.
