Three-CD set; CD's show replica Volt and Atco labels and are in poly inner sleeves. Booklet pages are photographs of each side of each single. All original mono mixes.
This collection also available with a bonus 7" disc, released a month earlier (June 25th 2013).
This is not the original version available on the "DOCK OF THE BAY CD" and actual single but taken from the "It's Not Just Sentimental" CD !!!
Looks like the compiler did not even listen to the tape or worse had never heard the original 45!!!
Rest of the CD is OK with loads of rare versions...

Now added third disc and all writer credits, the latter from the original singles labels that are reproduced in the booklet. Some are incomplete (the studio cut of "I've Been Loving You Too Long"), old spellings ("Satisfaction"), unclear ("Just One More Day", because the label reproduced is worn) or just downright fraudulent ("Pain In My Heart", corrected soon after release once Minit's Joe Banashak discovered that it was a direct cop from "Ruler Of My Heart" and got the credit changed back to Naomi Neville, aka Allen Toussaint using his mother's name).
Hi fixbutte, I found my way here via a link in 45cat, where a user had submitted the single that comes with THE COMPLETE MOTOWN SINGLES VOL. 9. I was surprised that I was able to submit, actually, because there isn't any announcement in the forum, so should I continue submitting, or wait for the "go" announcement?
One thing about this particular collection, is that the disc faces replicate old Volt and Atco labels, but I have made the label just Shout! Factory, as that is the releasing label. This is contrary to the policy in the other worlds, but I think here (and in several other instances, such as Universal Music's Deluxe Editions of classic albums) the vintage label designs should be seen as part of the package artwork, and not being label "branding" as such. To give another example, the Deluxe Edition of The Who's MY GENERATION replicates UK Brunswick and US Decca 45 labels on the discs, but the sets should be considered to be "on" Polydor or MCA, depending on country of release.
Hi PhilMH, you're no mod but you're still here? So we're not on the mod test stage anymore but on the beta test?
I've edited the images (in fact, nboldock did the same simultaneously) and someone will look after the Disc 3 tracks soon I guess. In contrast to Guide to Adding CDs I wonder, however, if maybe we should better add the "3rd cd details" to the Further Information/CD Notes, not to the contribution notes, until they will be added to the tracklist (more space, better visible in the CD Notes).
