Motown’s latest release, Motortown Revue in Paris Super Deluxe Edition is now available to pre-order via Amazon. The Label have lovingly restored and remastered the audio and artwork of this much-vaunted live recording from the original Tamla Motown masters. The prolific Motortown Revue line-up features performances from Motown/Tamla legends The Supremes, The Miracles, Stevie Wonder, Martha And The Vandellas and Earl Van Dyke.

This release is the complete performance and includes twelve previously unreleased live tracks from all those who appeared on the night.

“Motortown Revue in Paris” Super Deluxe Edition is available in both a 2CD and a 3LP format.

Also available is a very special Limited Edition Motortown Revue: The French EPs 5 E.P. 7" Vinyl Box Set.*

Originally released on the Tamla Motown label in the US in 1965 and in the UK in February 1966, this live album was taken from the legendary Paris stint of the 1965 Motortown Revue European tour. Following successful shows in Great Britain, Paris was the final stop on the road and this live recording -- sonically the finest of the Motortown Revue performances committed to tape -- captures the sounds and atmosphere of this Parisian Motown party, with the finest of Berry Gordy Jr’s travelling roadshow delivering in vintage form.


Order your copy of these collectors item of American Soul now at Amazon, both set to drop late-March 2016/early April 2016. Enjoy a special mix with interview segments below dedicated to the legendary Detroit Soul powerhouse known as Motown.
