Cellarful of Motown!
60s 70s Soul Funk Motown can certainly be taken to task for issuing the same old stuff over and over again no matter how great it is how many versions of Marvin Gaye's What's Goin On or of Motown's Top 20 singles does anybody really need even if it is as important as Beethoven's Fifth Symphony or anybody else's for that matter Not so in this case Cellarful of Motown is a double CD chockfull of soul classics that have remained virtually unheard since they were first recorded or in some cases relegated to the cutting room floor by Motown's front line artists and many that should have been We can thank the Northern soul underground in the UK for this issue in a sense due to their constant demand for rare Motown soul issues and the massive bootlegging that goes with it and a collector's market that is out of control pricewise at the dawn of the 21st century Here are 40 tracks that were recorded in the glory days of the Detroit soul scene but never issued at the time due to Berry Gordy's nearfascistic quality control
