1	The Big Chill [Original Soundtrack] (1983) more music like this by Original Soundtrack Motown scored big with this album, which contains ten 60s hits, from Marvin Gaye's "I Heard It through the Grapevine" to Procol Harum's "A Whiter Shade of Pale," just the sort of thing the yuppie thirtysomethings in the movie loved, and music rediscovered by the audience that saw the film. William Ruhlmann, All Music Guide see all copies from $1.99! new only from $9.99!
2	Platoon (And Songs from the Era) (1986) more music like this by Original Soundtrack In compiling the soundtrack for Oliver Stone's Academy Award winning 1986 Vietnam War epic Platoon, producer Bud Carr opted to eschew original composition in favor of a collection of songs from the '60s in an attempt to capture the period. Many of the songs he selected were not even used in the film. The only excerpt from Georges Delerue's score ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $9.20!
3	The Ultimate Collection [1998] (1998) more music like this by Smokey Robinson & the Miracles Motown Records is a bit like the Walt Disney Studios, in the sense that both organizations made a good deal more money in recent decades marketing their histories and reputations than they have in creating very much that's new -- indeed, Motown hasn't been an active label, in the sense of recording any new artists, in more than a decade. Apart ... see all copies from $8.72! new only from $8.72!
4	Motown Legends, Vol. 3 (1995) more music like this by Various Artists Of the label's seemingly endless budget-priced hits collections, the Motown Legends series ranks among the best, giving consumers exactly what they want: the smash hits which defined "The Sound of Young America" during the company's heyday. Each of this third volume's 11 tracks is a true classic, and although it's difficult and more than a little ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $1.99!
5	Hitsville USA: The Motown Singles Collection 1959-1971 (1992) more music like this by Various Artists Instead of following Stax/Volt's pattern and delivering an exhaustive box set containing all of their singles, Motown decided to limit their singles box, Hitsville USA: The Motown Singles Collection 1959-1971, to four discs that concentrated on the hits. There are a handful of wonderful lesser-known songs here, such as the Contours' "First I Look ... see all copies from $29.15! new only from $47.15!
6	Timeless Love (2006) more music like this by Smokey Robinson Smokey Robinson hasn't had much use for making records since his records stopped selling in significant numbers, which happened as of the early '90s; after that, his only regular album has been 1999's Intimate. But Universal Music's New Door imprint exists for the purpose of making new recordings with veteran artists for whom the major label is ... see all copies from $3.99! new only from $13.34!
7	The Tears of a Clown (1970) more music like this by Smokey Robinson & the Miracles The title track revisited the arena of heartache and confessional soul that few have ever exploited more skillfully and memorably than Smokey Robinson. This album was actually an example of corporate greed at work; it was only grafting a new title onto an old album. Motown merely reissued Make It Happen with a fresh title to fill the gap as ... see all copies from $5.46!
8	A Quiet Storm (1975) more music like this by Smokey Robinson The genius of William "Smokey" Robinson is immeasurable. As many of his prior songs had shaped R&B and pop music, this album would have a similar effect. The title track became the namesake for a music format. The album itself had three singles hit the charts. Arranged in an intermittent rhythm, "Baby That's Backatcha" ran up the Billboard R&B ... see all copies from $6.00! new only from $8.66!
9	Motown Legends: A Christmas Gift (1995) more music like this by Various Artists see all copies from $1.99! new only from $1.99!
10	Billboard Top Rock & Roll Hits: 1970 (1989) more music like this by Various Artists The 1970 entry in Billboard's ongoing year-by-year retrospective is notable for its inclusion of three undisputed Motown classics -- Smokey Robinson & the Miracles' "Tears of a Clown," Edwin Starr's "War," and the Jackson 5's monumental "I Want You Back." The remaining tracks inevitably suffer by comparison, although Norman Greenbaum's "Spirit in ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $6.50!
11 view cover	The 35th Anniversary Collection (1994) more music like this by Smokey Robinson & the Miracles This four-CD boxed set covers every essential track that Smokey Robinson and the Miracles ever recorded, and then some -- at least a dozen never previously anthologized tracks are included here, among them the original single versions of "Way Over There" (unavailable elsewhere) and "Shop Around" (which had already been released locally in Detriot ... see all copies from $29.98! new only from $47.15!
12 view cover	Motown Legends, Vol. 1 (1995) more music like this by Various Artists Unfortunately, throughout the '80s and '90s Motown took advantage of the burgeoning CD movement, endlessly packaging and repackaging chart-topping hits from the label's massive collection. This led to a flood of budget-line compilations that helped to keep Motown afloat during the leanest of years, when the hit factory in Los Angeles had all but ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $1.99!
13 view cover	Bridget Jones's Diary, Vol. 2 (2001) more music like this by Various Artists see all copies from $10.95! new only from $26.04!
14 view cover	The Disco Years, Vol. 3: Boogie Fever (1992) more music like this by Various Artists Dozens upon dozens of disco compilations -- some good, some bad -- have been released since Rhino dribbled out their seven-volume Disco Years series in the '90s. While several of the discs that have followed offer consistent track listings and more eye-pleasing packaging, this particular series remains one of the best available. Across seven discs ... see all copies from $3.70! new only from $16.52!
15 view cover	Motown Legends: Cruisin'/Being With You (1995) more music like this by Smokey Robinson Smokey Robinson's two most popular albums from the early '80s, Cruisin' and Being with You, are combined on this fine single disc. Although both of the records suffer from some filler, they are suave, romantic affairs with elegant singing and classy arrangements, and the best moments (including the title tracks on both albums) are textbook ... see all copies from $4.98! new only from $4.98!
16 view cover	Body + Soul: Love Serenade [1999] (1999) more music like this by Various Artists Time-Life Music's Body and Soul: Love Serenade features two discs of soul hits: "Three Times a Lady" by the Commodores, "How 'Bout Us" by Champaign, "Betcha by Golly, Wow" by the Stylistics, "Shake You Down" by Gregory Abbott, "Sexual Healing" by Marvin Gaye, "Love You Down" by Ready for the World, "Shower Me With Your Love" by Surface, "Cruisin' ... see all copies from $7.98! new only from $9.90!
17 view cover	Body + Soul: Sweet Seduction (2000) more music like this by Various Artists Body & Soul: Sweet Seduction isn't much different from the other volumes in Time/Life's Body & Soul series: It's a collection of smooth, romantic soul and urban contemporary from the '70s and '80s. But even if there isn't much rhyme or reason as to which songs were chosen for which volumes, this is still a pretty strong double-disc set. It's ... see all copies from $7.60! new only from $17.56!
18 view cover	The Ultimate Rock & Roll Collection: The 70's (2001) more music like this by Various Artists This 21-track compilation is both foolproof and utterly predictable. There are certain songs that seem to turn up over and over on compilations (they must be available for licensing cheap), songs like KC & the Sunshine Band's "That's the Way I Like It," Pilot's "Magic," Rod Stewart's "Maggie May," Looking Glass' "Brandy," and the Hollies' "Long ... see all copies from $6.00! new only from $13.37!
19 view cover	Motown Legends: Love Songs (1987) more music like this by Various Artists Although there are some undeniably timeless love songs included in this brief collection of Motown singles, including Stevie Wonder's "My Cherie Amour," Marvin Gaye's "How Sweet It Is (To Be Loved by You)," and Smokey Robinson's late-era hit "Cruisin'," given the sheer richness and depth of the Motown vault, this set seems quite a bit ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $5.49!
20 view cover	Gold (2006) more music like this by Smokey Robinson & the Miracles It's hard to say that Smokey Robinson's catalog was in desperate need of a new compilation when the double-disc Gold was released in the summer of 2006. He had excellent single-disc, double-disc, and box sets in his catalog, so there seemed to be a collection for every kind of fan -- and at first glance it seems that Gold offers nothing that ... see all copies from $19.52! new only from $19.52!
21 view cover	Hitsville USA, Vol. 2: The Motown Singles Collection 1972-1992 (1993) more music like this by Various Artists Where the first Hitsville box suffered from not featuring enough material, the sequel suffers from having too many tracks. During the 1970s, the label lost its distinctive sound, although the hits continued to come for a number of years. Unfortunately, as the years progress, the hits become fewer and less distinctive -- they follow the trends, ... see all copies from $26.51! new only from $47.15!
22 view cover	East Side Story, Vol. 1-12 (2002) more music like this by Various Artists see all copies from $140.82! new only from $140.82!
23 view cover	My World: The Definitive Collection (2005) more music like this by Smokey Robinson Compiling a single-disc set of tracks from William "Smokey" Robinson's long career and calling it a "definitive collection" is a bit absurd, since Robinson -- as a writer, singer, producer, and arranger -- has had a hand in countless hits over the years, at Motown and elsewhere, and nothing short of an extensive box set could hope to even come ... see all copies from $13.34! new only from $13.34!
24 view cover	Love Songs: Gold (2006) more music like this by Various Artists A two-disc grab-bag compilation spanning several decades and genres, Hip-O's Love Songs: Gold fares well for a release that's so broad and seemingly random. It's certain that no one could possibly have a strong stomach for all 40 of the selections (let alone any given 30), and there are some very polarizing hits here, where fans and haters feel ... see all copies from $19.52! new only from $19.52!
25 view cover	Motown 40 Forever (1998) more music like this by Various Artists Motown never tires of finding ways to repackage their history, but a 40th anniversary celebration is one of the better excuses they could have for releasing another multi-disc retrospective, such as the double-disc Motown 40 Forever. Unfortunately, devoting the first disc to classic '60s hits and isolating '80s and '90s singles works against the ... see all copies from $19.99! new only from $24.24!
