Martha Reeves & The Vandellas - Anthology download free

Be aware of B1. Jimmy Mack there are two (now three) distinct versions of this recording.1st. Is a slow-mid tempo jazzy version with a lead piano which was mixed and released in Stereo as an album track (album version)2nd is the up-tempo typical 4-4-4- motown sound floor filler the single version though the multi' s were kept (thank god) this track was only ever mixed to mono. (It was about to be released at the height of the Vietnam war, Gordy felt it far to insensitive to put this out the time as many Jimmy Mack's were coming back in body bags, so the multi's and the mixed single mono version were shelved and ear marked for a better time, so no work was ever done on making a stereo mix..........3rd ..........And that's the way JM the single mix has remained since 1965 very mono! Until some actually thoughtful person at UMG in the wake of the backing track karaoke mixes box set and the listed Martha & The Vandella's "Gold" CD retrospective project and their tracks/multi's were being remastered and digitalised, The multi's of JM single version were ordered up from the vaults, and in 2012 JM single version was at last finally given it's official and approved Stereo mix. Just some 45 years late, but hey-ho! (For it to be 100% complete this 2012 Stereo mix needs to come out on vinyl, esp 7" single and coupled with Third Finger Left Hand, and also in Stereo! We live in hope UMG! Not every Motown fan rates, wants or likes the CD format.)So>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> now with all the facts at your fingertips, maybe the third finger!, which version is on this album, it naturally can not be the 3rd. so its it the slower tempo Jazzy album version in stereo or the up-tempo 4-4-4- single version in mono?. As this was the anthology then IMHO both should have been compiled on here. Just be aware that if you were hoping that this would be the actual Stereo home to the single version of JM then think again.JM was a 45+ year mono Motown tragedy. Blame the US government.
