Off the Record: Motown by Master Number, 1959-1989 : Singles (Rock & Roll Reference Series)

By Reginald J. Bartlette

This volume encompasses the discographical history of Motown Records singles from the standpoint of record production, supplying master numbers, matrix numbers, Delta numbers, full release dates, and additional information dealing with the many released and unreleased versions of the songs that built the Motown legacy, each version identified by its own unique master number. Over ten years in compilation, the volume organizes the off the record production information, taken quite literally from off the records themselves, for over 4,000 Motown song versions. Additional features cover picture sleeves, coloured vinyl issues, Motown recording oddities, and hundreds of songs issued on other Motown-related labels.
