MOTOWN CHARTBUSTERS VOL. 7 STML 11215 (-72) UK


 Number seven in the UK Motown Chartbusters serie, released between 1967-82, of which first two were named "British Motown Chartbusters"   https://monolover.blogspot.com/search?q=british+motown+chartbusters  . First nine reached top 15 on the UK list, whereof three #1 and one #2. This got to #9. Here I get a couple of sixties recordings - Gladys Night & The Pips "Just Walk In My Shoes", Mary Welles "My Guy" and San Remo Strings "Festival Times" - coupled with some early seventied stuff - three by Michael Jackson, three including The Supremes", two by The Temptations, two by Diana Ross and one each from Stevie Wonder, J.R. Walker & The All Stars and Martha Reeves & The Vandellas. So all high class Motown. The audio is smashing all through, well balanced and very good to the ears. I guess many label fans have all those songs already, but for me who don't collect 45:s and sometimes having a hard time finding the original albums compilations like this are crucial. Listening now as I write this, very happy. Favourite tracks would be Temptations "Take A Look Around" and "Diana Ross "Surrender" plus of course the oldies "My Guy" and "Walk In My Shoes". Also issued on vinyl in a clouple of Southeast Asian countries plus as UK 8-track and cassette. EU 2001 CD on Spectrum Music (554 294 2) came with the same tracking. First UK had label as shown here in a glossy flip/back cover.  (TÖMÖ*)  (SÄM*)
