Ms. Randolph passed away and the LP, plus any tracks with her in the vaults would be a nice tribute. You already released a Motown collection, so there must be interest in her.

Also, who owns the Musicor masters? I'd love you see their three Musicor albums, with singles and unreleased stuff on CD...

But - I thought the jury was still out on whether it featured the vocals of Ms Randolph, Betty Jackson or Sandra Dawn - unless you know otherwise..? And - I've no idea who owns the Musicor catalogue (this week) - it seems to shuffle around a bit! PS - there is of course the Complete Mercury sessions box set from Bear Family. But, I guess it'd be a very dedicated collector who'd shell out 153 � on the 9CD set just to get hold of that one album!

I guess I just assumed the female lead tracks on that LP are her, but I have no proof. Oh, and yes the LP came out on Mercury.
