West Grand has been set up to mine the Motown tape vaults. Their second release - under license from Universal / Motown - captures two previously unreleased mixes of a classic.Brenda Holloway's 'Think It Over (Before You Break My Heart)' was recorded in the 1960's - the same decade she was selected by The Beatles to open their last ever live show - but not issued by Motown in that decade. It took until the 1990's for an acetate copy to turn up and start getting plays on the UK Northern Soul circuit. It became clear what a very special recording had been ignored. Legitimate copies have since been released and slowly but surely this gem of a Soul record that nobody knew about become an iconic Northern Soul and Motown anthem.Demand has proved insatiable and West Grand add to the mystique by coming up with two previously unknown releases for the first time ever worldwide. The A-side vocal highlights Brenda's vocals as even more breathtaking than everyone first thought, while the flip shows just how amazing Earl Van Dyke and pals - Motown's legendary Funk Brothers - really were.Tracklisting:A.
