Details: Definitive 2CD remastered edition from SoulMusic Records/The Second Disc comprising four rare 1970-1972 albums and bonus tracks from Motown legends Smokey Robinson and the Miracles! All four albums feature the classic Miracles' line-up of Smokey Robinson, Claudette Robinson, Bobby Rogers, Ronnie White, Pete Moore, and guitarist Marv Tarplin, recorded by the group during the creatively fertile, musically rich period before Smokey embarked on his extraordinary solo career.

Featuring Robinson originals; collaborations with Stevie Wonder and Syreeta Wright, Henry Cosby, Nick Ashford and Valerie Simpson and Johnny Bristol; and beautifully reinvented covers of classic hits by Bacharach and David, Thom Bell and Linda Creed, Paul Simon, George Harrison, and Smokey himself, these four albums showcase The Miracles' harmonies at their most sweet and soaring, a musical treat for Motown fans everywhere.
