A Cellarful of Motown is indeed supposed to be
available on vinyl, at least, though the release might
have been delayed (listed, but hasn't shown up yet).
I do have the double CD set, however, and, while it's
not consitent great, or even consistently interesting,
there are enough sparkly little gems (e.g. The Earl
Van Dyke/Funk Brothers instrumental version of The
Velvelettes' "He Was Really Saying Something") to make
it worth the time/money/effort. And I'm hardly a
completist about such things, so ...

Actually, my analogy was, House:techno::Northern
Soul:mod, on the bases of, say, big, bouncy
four-on-the-floor stompers vs. backbeaty slip 'n'
slide sidesteppers; sweat-inducing
obscurantist-yet-nonetheless-populist appeal (not a
Bad Thing, mind you) vs. cool
esoteric-yet-nontheless-pop smarts; an emphasis on The
Crowd, the community, vs. The Scene and those
stand-out individuals therein, and so forth ...

However, your points are well taken. And, yes,
indeed, Helen, "The Snake" is well and thoroughly
uninteresting. Tracks like "Right On!" (Al De Lory),
"So Is the Sun" (World Column; cf. The Jam's
"Trans-Global Express"), "Ten Miles High" (David and
the Giants) and "I'll Do Anything" (Doris Troy),
however, are well and thoroughly sublime, albeit not
quite always "mod," so check out those Talcum Soul
compilations, is my advice ...

But lest ye judge our Trekkie brethren (not to
mention, er, sisteren) all too harshly and/or hastily,
do recall those minidresses, those go-go boots, and,
especially, those fabulous twenty-third century

... the larger point being, at any rate, that any or
all of either genre might well sound nigh unto
unddifferentiable to someone "outside" its respective
scene, while BOTH genres might be indistiguishable to
someone outside all of THAT, yet those on the inside
(of either scene, or a fan of electronic dance music
in general) can certainly discern differences, make
aesthetic judgements on their basis, and so forth.
Same situation within mod as "outside" it, or, rather,
between mod and, say, Northern Soul, or Freakbeat (all
categories not necessarily inherent in the production
of the music, by the way, but, rather, as often as not
imposed by its consumers; again, Frank Wilson did not
set out to record a Northern Soul classic, though The
Small Faces no doubt set out to record a mod one, and
so forth ...). And then--and this is perhaps the
interesting phenomenon here--there's the crossover
factor between two genres (House and techno, Northern
Soul and mod) which are both a subset of a larger
genre (electronic dance music; sixties pop music) and
which might well overlap (depending on whom you talk
to). No doubt it's the infighting that's the
bloodiest ...

Keep talking honey, I'm busting a gut laughing!
You are definitely the most pretentious, self-aggrandizing,
bag of wind that I've read here in a long time.
And that is saying something!
Now PLEASE, leave the library...
