5.0 out of 5 stars A Good Review, January 24, 2009

This review is from: Motown #1's (MP3 Download)

The review and rating of this item by DJ Girl seems unfair to me. She gave it one star simply because it's a collection of old standards with nothing new, all of which she has on her collection, and due to the 'fact' that some of the tunes aren't true Motown. Some people don't have such an assortment in their personal collections. For them this is an excellent choice. Their are no remakes; they are all orignal. The claim that the songs are not 'true Motown' is deceptive. A few of them may not be to her liking but they are all, each and every one of them, songs that appeared on the Motown label and therefore fall into the defintion of Motown. Anyone who doesn't have a Motown collection presently and would like one, at a very good price, would really like this compilation.

This is an extremely solid collection spanning several decades with legendary hits on the Motown label. Strong.
Highly recommend. No remakes here, all original and all great. Definitely worth the money.

4.0 out of 5 stars Mostly a good collection, February 1, 2009

If you don't have a lot of the classic Motown hits in your collection already, this is a pretty good place to start. It's a solid collection until you start getting to the last few songs.
