Music reviews of The Complete Motown #1s Box

Music Review: Beautifully packaged and unique collection
Rating: 5 Stars

I have been waiting to buy this collection for a long time, hoping for a drop in price. Although it is a bit pricey, this is a great collection of Motown's number-one hits. There are a number of Motown collections out there; this collection gathers up Motown's number one songs from pop, R&B, dance, adult contemptorary and world charts. So, it is not a complete overview of Motown's history; however, Motown has had so many number one hits that many of Motown's classics are on here. But note, songs like "Money (That's What I Want)" are not present because they did not hit number one.

At ten discs, there is a lot of music here. The first four discs cover Motown's peak era of the '60s and early '70s. Discs five and six move through Motown's underrated disco era, while seven and eight cover the slick '80s period. Discs nine and ten cover Motown's later years. There is definitely a decline in quality in the latter discs (and most of the number ones in the '90s came courtesy of Boyz II Men). But unlike many Motown compliations, this simply doesn't cover the classic period, but gives a fair sampling of the later Motown years, which are not covered as much.

Some of the songs here may be unfamiliar to listeners, although they hit number one on specific charts. For example, three of Diana Ross' most underrated songs - the lovely "I'm Still Waiting" (UK number one), "Last Time I Saw Him" (Adult Contemporary number one, 1973), "The Boss" (number one dance) are featured. I like that this collection covers some of Motown's lesser-known hits in its catalogue. Artists such as Ross, Stevie Wonder, Jackson 5/Michael Jackson figure prominently throughout the compilation since they each scored countless number ones, so much that this collection almost acts as a compilation for each of those individual artists.

The packaging itself is stunning. Boxed in a mini replica of the Motown building, the discs are packaged in pairs in digi-packs, supplemented by rare photos of Motown stars.

The sound is excellent. All tracks have been remastered, and the songs are presented in either single mixes or full album length, not butchered in favour of adding more tracks to each disc.

I collect many box sets, and I must say this is one of my favourite ones because of the song selection, art design and packaging, and it was obviously made with care and effort, not a cash cow like many box sets turn out to be. Enjoy the Motown sound throughout the decades.
