It's true that the Forever and Forever More sets are thorough, but the current prices for these sets used on Discogs, are about $60 and $25, respectively.

That's much more than I'm willing to pay for a group that was served extremely well by the superb two-CD Motown set Deliver: The Singles 1961-1971 (1993), which currently sells for about $14 used on Discogs, and is one that I already have.

Most of us here on the board already have truckloads of CDs. I myself am not too eager to buy much more than I've already amassed. I'd be curious about which version is on a disc that I already own.]]> Mon, 15 Aug 2022 08:57:57 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=9791&PID=61514&title=marvelettes-please-mr-postman#61514 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=9791&PID=61512&title=marvelettes-please-mr-postman#61512 Author: AutumnAarilyn

Hip-o-select's Forever and Forever more box sets sum up
their albums rather nicely and worth checking out.

Mono versions of albums, stereo versions on greatest hits
comps, extended versions, UK alternates, and a lost and
found disc which was not included with that series of
other Motown artists.

It baffles me why someone would go looking on say the
Motown 9000 sampler series for said track when you have
all you'd ever want on this two box sets which include 7
discs on just the Marvelettes. What you can buy at a
retail store became less and less relevant in the early
00's. ]]> Sun, 14 Aug 2022 23:56:15 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=9791&PID=61512&title=marvelettes-please-mr-postman#61512 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=9791&PID=61508&title=marvelettes-please-mr-postman#61508 Author: LunarLaugh

Just adding that the stereo mix found on the 20th Century
Masters set also appears on UTV's Pure 60s CD from 2002.
The EQ is slightly different and I actually prefer how it
sounds there for this particular mix (mastered by Doug
Schwartz who's one of my favorites).

The stereo edit from "Best Of: 20th Century Masters - The Millennium
Collection" (the first issue of this edit AFAIK) is close to the 45, however it has
a different edit for the word "better" in the line "you better wait" at 2:00.
Someone sent me a corrected stereo 45 version back in 2012 (can't recall
who).]]> Wed, 11 May 2022 01:13:48 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=9791&PID=60828&title=marvelettes-please-mr-postman#60828 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=9791&PID=60825&title=marvelettes-please-mr-postman#60825 Author: LunarLaugh

I assumed the mix appearing on 20th Century Masters was
done by either Suha Gur or Kevin Reeves as those seem to be
the two names that pop up the most on the Universal/Motown
releases and reissues from 2000 onward. ]]> Tue, 10 May 2022 21:30:25 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=9791&PID=60825&title=marvelettes-please-mr-postman#60825
