A Cellarful of Motown! is a series of compilation albums of Motown rarities, containing versions of known songs by alternative artists, as well as demos of songs that were not released at the time, but had been shelved for various reasons. Much to the surprise of Motown connaisseurs these recordings from the sixties and seventies emerged in the 21st century. Compiled by Paul Nixon the series ran for 4 volumes before being cancelled by Universal Records Some of them had failed to pass the selections by Motown executives, in other cases Motown's owner Berry Gordy had his personal reasons to withhold releases. Three examples out of many: * ''Danger, Heartbreak Dead Ahead'' was a hit for The Marvelettes, but appears in a version by The Contours. * Likewise, Smokey Robinsons ''My Heart'', once a minor hit for Carolyn Crawford, is in this compilation performed by Tammi Terrell. * From Patrice Holloway no recording whatsoever was released by Motown, but a demo she once made appears in this compilation. ==Volume 1== 〕 | Genre = Soul, Funk | Length = | Language = | Label = Motown | Producer = | Last album = | This album = ''Volume 1'' (2002) | Next album = ''Volume 2'' (2005) }} Source: Classic Motown, Allmusic〔〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「A Cellarful of Motown!」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
