The complete Japan concert was finally released on CD, I think sometime in the 90's. Great act, live or otherwise. Another "live" cover I like is this one from the Stax-Volt European tour. It was released on Volt, which is what I had, but later released on Atlantic. There's a great new documentary series about Stax which tells the story of how Atlantic gutted Stax and took over the entire catalogue, leaving the label to try to rebuild itself. :format(jpeg):mode_rgb():quality(90)/discogs-images/R-16241425-1605837086-4073.jpeg.jpg) :format(jpeg):mode_rgb():quality(90)/discogs-images/R-8350804-1459998361-8538.jpeg.jpg) |

Motown also got into live recordings. The tour band was great but never fully captured that expansive Motown sound the label sold on records. The Motown Revue got a couple of volumes.  The Four Tops, The Temptations and Martha and the Vandellas each got their own.  Part of Berry Gordy's big plans for Diana, even before she split the group, was getting them a gig at New York's Copa, with a real show-bizzy set list and a kind of rushed rehash of their hits, I guess to position them, or at least her, for cross-over.  |

A musical miracle my brethren and sistren: getting caught up on this thread fixed my laptop. Whilst admiring all the selections, I got so excited I knocked it to the ground whereby the dying battery fixed itself. Hallelujah as Leonard would say. I love tracking down cover peoples. Kathy went on to find another great love and lived a quiet life in Wales. She has never spoken publicly about her relationship with Paul Simon. The Paul Simon Song Book  Model and actress Louisa Livingston went on to do electronic music amongst other things.  Standing in front of the watermill is a figure dressed in a black cloak, portrayed by model Louisa Livingstone, whose identity was not widely known until 2020. Livingstone, who was 18 or 19 at the time, was cast in part because of she was only five feet tall, which made her surroundings look bigger and more dramatic.  |

Thinking of your post here prompted a visit to the following, intrepid37, as I got to attend one of the hot August nights seen that summer of '72: en.apoplife.nl/neil-diamond-hot-august-night/ Thank you, intrepid37, as the aforementioned is an incredible page about the event. |

Cool thread. Don’t care for most of The Supreme album covers. Love Child is the exception. And it’s the only Supremes lp I still spin from start to finish.  Love the “it is what is” approach. Not a lot of bells and whistles in the art or on the studio sessions. Diana’s yellow sweat shirt lettering is a bit of a cringy PSA announcement (with which she made television appearances touting the album’s title track) but the “down to earth”, hood vibe in the art and on the record was a nice departure from the super glam confection pop of their previous productions. |
