Satisfaction Guaranteed: Motown 1961-69 / Various Satisfaction Guaranteed: Motown 1961-69 / Various CD

Following the warm reception given to our 'Finders Keepers: Motown Girls 1961-1967' collection, and in the spirit of equal opportunity, we felt it only right to ask Motown for permission to raid their master tape vault for tracks for a companion all-male set. The resulting 'Satisfaction Guaranteed! Motown Guys 1961-1969' includes some of the company's biggest stars - the Miracles, Four Tops, Temptations and Marvin Gaye alongside talent such as Jr. Walker, the Spinners, Edwin Starr, Jimmy Ruffin, Marv Johnson, Shorty Long and Bobby Taylor; and a couple of acts who have never had any of their Motown recordings issued before - Johnny Bristol and the Quails. In all, 24 tracks by 24 artists. The Marvin Gaye, Temptations, Four Tops and Freddie Gorman titles were first released as downloads in 2013 but have never appeared on CD before (or on vinyl, for that matter). The remaining tracks are previously unissued in any format. In other words, something for the Motown collector who has everything.
