Just got the shipping notice for my box!
Not sure what their contracts with Motown were, but I’m sure Berry Gordy Jr and whomever owns the current rights to many of the songs is getting paid! I’m sure the contracts the women recorded under weren’t particularly favorable with regards to royalties.Hold on. The podcast about the women of Motown is by two white people?
Also, are the women whose voices are being used to sell this set getting even a penny from these sales?
And there were lawsuits in the late 80s-90s with settlements made. Not sure if those settlements included terms for future earned royalties but I doubt it.Not sure what their contracts with Motown were, but I’m sure Berry Gordy Jr and whomever owns the current rights to many of the songs is getting paid!

Its like the meeting I had to day to discuss forming a working group to develop an RFP to hire a consultant to conduct a feasibility studyI got my notice of a creation of a pre-label. Always makes me chuckle.
Ya got my shipping notice too, shipped from Melville, NY????
Also, despite being in transit, it doesn't give the typical delivery date estimate.
Yeah, that's what I actually meant, lol.I got my notice of a creation of a pre-label. Always makes me chuckle.
Anthology is still for sale (past the "end of September" date), just in case anyone is interested: VMP Anthology: The Women of Motown
Yeah I have a feeling they just closed it up. Looking forward to seeing this in the store in a few months for $350Sold out!
Well, at least what's leftover is now either in a burning pile behind the VMP warehouse OR on its way to swaps.
I feel like I’m going to get an email like that any day now.“It already SOLD OUT once. Don’t MISS OUT again!”
No. Have you not seen White Men Can’t Jump?The woman he talked to wrote a book called "The Women of Motown". She happens to be white. Is she not allowed to discuss Motown?

My box has now been stuck in the Jersey City distribution facility for 3 days. So much for getting this on the early side...
Mine is sitting there too.... maybe waiting for international orders to go out first before being released the rest of the way?
