Review - Amazon.com :
With one CD of prime Smokey and the Miracles rarities already available, how much could this entry in Motown's Lost and Found vault-sweep series really offer? Plenty, as it turns out. While a couple of tracks ("You've Got to Pay Bills," "(I Need Some) Money," the latter a different song than the Barrett Strong-Beatles standard) seem like dry runs at ideas better realized by others at the label, Along Came Love brings some true pleasures to light. A particular standout is the sweet, early "I Love Your Baby," and after a couple of plays, even their version of "If I Were a Bell" transcends typical Motown supper-club fare and becomes charming. More than just a lesson in secret history, this is actually a fine addition to the collections of fans of the group and the label. --Rickey WrightCustomer review - 1999-11-05
- It's A Miracle!As any serious fan of Motown knows, there are a lot of great songs that for one reason or another did not come out. This CD rescues a number of fine songs from the vaults and offers tracks from the out of print "Greatest Hits From The Beginning." There isn't a bad track in the bunch and fans of The Miracles' early work will be impressed.

- From humble beginnings...These once hard-to-find gems are worth having in your collection. The live version of "Shop Around" is essential. I like to think of these songs as words of wisdom ("You've Got To Pay Bills"). Claudette Robinson gave a great performance on "Mr. Misery (Let Me Be)". A must have for your collection!

- More from the world greatest living poet....For those that remember the vinyl edition of "Greatest Hits from the Beginning" take note - almost half the CD comprised of the tracks from that same LP that was released in 1965! - But since we are now in the age of CDs (and these tracks, particularly my favorite "Would I Love You") has not been available for nearly 25 years (the LP was reissued in the '80s), This CD breathes new life to wonderfully classic and vintage Smokey. Sometimes I wondered when he was in the studio recording these songs was he actually serenading Claudette (considering they were still newlyweds when The Miracles and Motown were just hitting big!). Anyway enjoy this magical trip down Hitsville Memory Lane, It's worth every penny (including the sales tax - if applicable in your state!)

- More gems from the Miracles vault.The 1994 box set was a great tribute to the Miracles, but there was a glaring omission which was corrected on this disk. The song "Would I Love You" is a sweet ballad from 1964 which gets a lot of radio play on the oldies stations here in New York and Philly has been finally put on CD. "If I Were A Bell" is a great show tune cover, and the original version of "Don't Think It's Me" easily beats the eventual remake on the "Make It Happen" album. This disc and the box set should complete any Smokey/Miracles collection for the casual collector.
