Motown Treasures

In 1972, the UK was treated to MOTOWN DISCO CLASSICS; VOLUME 2.

Volume 1 was titled MOTOWN MEMORIES: 16 NON-STOP TAMLA HITS.

These were the non-stop hits on Volume 2, according to DisCogs:-

Four Tops - I'll Turn To Stone   
Edwin Starr - Headline News   
Marvin Gaye & Tammi Terrell - Two Can Have A Party   
Diana Ross & The Supremes - There's No Stopping Us Now   
The Isley Brothers - Got To Have You Back   
Martha Reeves & The Vandellas - Third Finger, Left Hand   
Marvin Gaye - Take This Heart Of Mine   
San Remo Strings - Reach Out I'll Be There   

San Remo Strings - I'm Satisfied   
Brenda Holloway - Just Look What You've Done   
The Velvelettes - A Bird In The Hand (Is Worth Two In The Bush)   
Four Tops - Shake Me, Wake Me (When It's Over)   
Jr. Walker & The All Stars - Come See About Me   
Martha Reeves & The Vandellas - (We've Got) Honey Love   
The Marvelettes - The Day You Take One (You Have To Take The Other)   
Earl Van Dyke & The Soul Brothers - All For You

The LP came with a fabulous fold-out A3 poster - it hung in my bedroom for many a year.

However, something about this track-list doesn't match my memory of the album. I'm wondering if I am going mad.

I thought the LP track-list included HE WAS REALLY SAYIN' SOMETHIN' by The Velvelettes and that the track was actually by The Marvelettes, from their "Pink" album.

Please will someone put me right.

Volume 3 came out in 1973 with this track-list:-

Diana Ross & The Supremes - You Keep Me Hanging On   
Jimmy Ruffin - Baby I've Got It   
The Contours - Just A Little Misunderstanding   
The Marvelettes - Danger Heeartbreak Dead Ahead   
The Isley Brothers - Tell Me It's Just A Rumour Baby   
Brenda Holloway - Starting The Hurt All Over Again   
Marvin Gaye - How Sweet It Is (To Be Loved By You)   
Martha Reeves & The Vandellas - Heat Wave
   
Shorty Long - Night Fo' Last   
The Temptations - Ain't Too Proud To Beg   
The Velvelettes - He Was Really Saying Somethin'   
Jr. Walker & The All Stars - Shoot Your Shot   
Edwin Starr - 25 Miles   
The Marvelettes - Destination: Anywhere   
Barbara Randolph - I Got A Feeling
Gladys Knight & The Pips - Friendship Train

Ah - is THIS the LP that has the wrong version of He Was Really Saying Somethin'?

Great selection of songs, with several that were B-sides to UK Tamla Motown singles.

I haven't seen these albums in years - were there detailed liner notes on them?

No Eric, that was volume 5 as the Marvelettes' version was used in error.
