Motown collectors will be delighted by two upcoming releases on the now venerable old label. First up, there’s a definitive anthology on the ISLEY BROTHERS. The two-CD pack features 52 tracks and includes all the classics, the perennial favourite – ‘My Love Is Your Love’ – and a previously unissued cut, ‘Sure Is A Whole Lotta Woman’. Release date is September 21st. The following month sees a two-CD MIRACLES’ collection – ‘Depend On Me’. The set contains all the cuts on the group’s first five classic Motown albums – all now remastered with the usual Motown attention to detail… and the set, of course, includes the usual thorough liner notes, annotations, essays and archive pictures. Full reviews of both collections of www.soulandjazzandfunk.com very soon.
