Digitally remastered and expanded edition of this 1969 album from the Soulster including 15 bonus track. Marv Johnson was there at the birth of Berry Gordy's fabled Detroit empire with his Tamla single 'Come to Me' in 1959, which Gordy placed with the established United Artists label for national release, using the proceeds of the deal to finance recording sessions. Marv remained with UA until 1964, when he returned to the Motown fold. There he released three knockout singles on the Gordy logo, but found further hits hard to come by, at least in the USA. It was a different story here in the Motown-hungry UK, where 'I'll Pick a Rose for My Rose' reached the Top 10 early in 1969. To satisfy demand, Motown dug into their vaults for tracks to create a similarly titled LP for the British market. The album was never issued in the USA. The first 11 tracks on this CD represent that LP in it's entirety, mastered from the original stereo tapes used by the British Tamla Motown label in 1969.
