UK variation of the US 1966 "Greatest Hits" (Gordy G/S 917). This came with a different sleeve design and "Love (Makes Me Do Foolish Things)" was replaced by "I'm Ready For Love". Either way it's a complilation of twelve 45' cuts that could please not only Motown lovers, but also fans of female vocal and/or sixties soul in general. I get some of their classic tracks - "Love Is Like A Heat Wave", "Dancing In The Street", My Baby Loves Me" and "Ready For Love" - coupled with today maybe less know gems as "Quicksand", "Live Wire" and "Wild One". Many of the recordings were made 1963-64, so in a more primitive way than the label's somewhat later hits, but that also makes them further transparent, allowing more feeling to sip out, so it works well for me. Unfortunately all the tracks here are rechanneled mono. Not too bad, but a little bit disturbing. Haven't heard a US yet so I don't know if the ones there are separate mixes. If someone reading this knows - please comment and tell. Also released on vinyl in Canada, Spain, Germany, Argentina and Downunder plus US cassette, reel and 8-track. All CD issues seems to have come with the original US tracking. First UK had label as shown here in a laminated flip/back cover. (TÖMÖ* (FÄV*)
