Motown Greatest Hits
(2003)

by
Various Artists
A three-disc set released by Universal International, Motown Greatest Hits is a wonderful collection that combines the obvious Motown hits with material a little less at the center of the label's patented 1960's sound. Rick James' "Superfreak" and Billy Preston's "With You I'm Born Again" are just two of the titles mixed in here that give this ...

Martha & the Vandellas
This two-CD box set includes all of the top singles and many of the flip sides that Martha Reeves & the Vandellas cut for Motown. All the hits are here, of course; the collector will be especially interested in the B-sides and non-hit singles, many of which employed the songwriting talents of Motown regulars like Holland-Dozier-Holland and Mickey ...

Like any record company worth their salt, MCA knows a good gimmick when they see it, and when the millennium came around, the 20th Century Masters -- The Millennium Collection wasn't too far behind. Supposedly, the millennium is a momentous occasion, but it's hard to feel that way when it's used as another excuse to turn out a budget-line series. ...

by
Martha & the Vandellas
This volume of Motown's Ultimate Collection series was especially welcome, as there was no box set on Martha & the Vandellas for serious fans to go to (there was Live Wire!, a now-deleted two-CD compilation of single A- and B-sides, but that's not quite the same thing). This disc put the group's 25 most important tracks, all of the pop and R&B ...

This budget issue is better than what one would expect, yet it wasn't compiled with any scholarship. Aside from the hits ("Heat Wave," "Jimmy Mack") there's a would-be hit in "I Love the Man, " a track previously featured in the deleted album "Natural Resources, " afrom 1970.

This is, at best, an average collection of Motown hits. The only difference between this and a host of similar Motown compilations is Casey Kasem's name attached to it. Among the 20 tracks are the same tried and true bunch: "My Guy," "I Can't Help Myself (Sugar Pie Honey Bunch)," "Stop in the Name of Love," "I Heard It Through the Grapevine." The ...

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.

Here is yet another reissue of the legendary (or infamous, depending on your point of view) Motown Story. The reason for its controversy exists simply in the fact that all these great hit songs have narration before them and after them by artists such as Lionel Richie, Smokey Robinson, and others. If you want the story with the songs, then this is ...

Given Motown/Universal's penchant for repackaging, it would seem redundant to release this three-disc set, since about two-thirds of the songs are already available on dozens of other compilations.

It's usually presented as a given that, separated from the work of the Holland-Dozier-Holland songwriting team, Martha & the Vandellas were somewhat at sea. But H-D-H only had three songs on Watchout! -- albeit two of which were the hits that drove the album's sales -- and the group came off better than one could have hoped on the rest of the ...
