    The Elgins CD " For Your Precious Love Unreleased Album 1966-1972 " Soul Bag Records DP 141 [ FR ]

    J'ai regroupé quelques titres inédits avec deux ou trois versions alternatives de chansons non réalisées afin de prolonger une discographie trop courte à mon goût des Elgins . Le résultat nous donne de très bons titres de Doo Wop , Rhythm 'n' Blues , Blues , Blues Jazz et bien sur de Northern Soul . Une partie est réservée aux Elgins et une autre aux Downbeats et Saundra Mallett ( Aka The Elgins ) . coolcoolcool

    hello, I´ll appreciate the link for this. 

    It seems to me that The Elgins have been an underrated group at Motown. With better promotion they could have had more hits

      • Dimanche 9 Février 2020 à 14:37

        Like good numbers of groups at Motown, unfortunately.

        gladys Knight & The pips come to my mind thinking of other underestimated

        groups at Motown. Well aware of that, they fortunately decided to change

        label and got great success

    Hello Pierre, My first visit to your excellent blog. Thanks for your help with Dave Pike. I did drop a thanks in your chat box before finding this Elgins gem. My old 45 of" Heaven Must have sent You" was played to death back in the day!! 

    I have been put on a 12 week isolation period due to my poor old lungs and not allowed out, so listening to the Elgins will cheer me up. Please would you send me a  link. 

    Thanks and stay safe. Bob

        Hi, went through quickly and it sounds excellent, lots of upbeat tracks - cannot believe all these were previously unreleased. Thank you :)

      • Mardi 25 Janvier 2022 à 16:46

        And yet it is very true! Tamla Motown had not judged to publish them at the time (you have to think that there is at least, in quantity of recording, the double of the published albums which had not been published). Glad you like it.happy

        Mardi 25 Janvier 2022 à 17:42

        Yes, I understand Motown's process, recording one song by multiple groups and one to 3 groups would be the winners and would release it, with the others being filed away and forgotten. it's that this release is 2020, one would have though the likes of Kent would have discovered these and released them many years ago - that's what surprises me about this release. There really sounds so many great tracks and versions (for me) :)

      • Mardi 25 Janvier 2022 à 23:27

        Soul Bag is my virtual label and it comes from my imagination. As for its content, I used "previously" from several different Motown Unreleased which offered titles recorded but unedited between 1966 and 1972 in the Motown Unreleased style and other albums released on cd. My virtual label, Soul Bag is in homage to an ephemeral Soul dancing which was in Belgium in Mouscron (it lasted less than a year, but using the same music as that of the Groove in Oostende, still in Belgium (not very far from where I lived (Roubaix) in France at the time), since I moved and am still in France).cool

        Mercredi 26 Janvier 2022 à 01:02

        Right, I've gotcha, your own virtual label bringing together otherwise very spaced out stuff into a better order like with this. Thanks for explaining. There's a number of Artists' that are in the Northern Soul genre I know of that could do with this that never got done, just the odd rare or unissued track amongst a CD full of regular commercial tracks that are available anywhere. Kinda strange when the scene is all about uthearthing songs that never made it commercially.
