When the Marvelettes` "Please Mr. Postman" climbed to the top of the pop charts in 1961, it was not only a hit record, it was the crossover hit an ambitious and feisty little independent label out of Detroit, Motown Records, needed. The rest is history -- Marvin Gaye, the Temptations, the Supremes, the Four Tops, Smokey Robinson -- the Motown catalog is an endless treasure, and not the least of these is the wonderful recording legacy of the Marvelettes. Somehow the public wasn`t drawn to this fine singing trio quite as much as it was to the Supremes, but the quality and consistency of the Marvelettes` work at Motown proves that they were way more than just an opening act for the Diana Ross caravan. This four-CD set, the second multi-disc set in a series documenting the Marvelettes history at Motown (the first, 2009`s Forever: The Complete Motown Albums, Vol. 1, covered 1961 to 1965 and collected the group`s first six albums, plus singles, B-sides and rarities), compiles the group`s final four albums (1967`s The Marvelettes, 1968`s Sophisticated Soul, 1969`s In Full Bloom, and 1970`s The Return of the Marvelettes), along with non-LP singles, B-sides, and other rarities from the same time period, and documents the last chapter in this fine singing group`s Motown legacy -- a legacy that stands with any at the label. Without the Marvelettes, who knows what the history of Motown Records would have been like? Luckily, we don`t have to worry about it. Here`s why. ~ Steve Leggett
