The Complete Motown Singles ...complete CD collection just about the best CD set release ...ever...! (HTM) https://www.discogs.com/label/559336-The-Complete-Motown-Singles 14 Volumes of Motown Sounds from 1959 to 1972 ...1,849 A & B sides and alternative mixes ...over 75 CDs. Each volume with an accompanying 'book' of annotations and essays for each track. Sumptuous and often rare photos of our favourite artists. The design was immaculate throughout. I rarely play my set but just feel honoured to have been able to receive and own it.

I skipped Vols 1, 11a, 11b & 12b! #Post#: 8208-------------------------------------------------- Re: The Complete Motown Singles By: Roger Date: December 16, 2021, 5:29 am --------------------------------------------------------- The TCMS series has certainly set a gold-standard that no-one else has been able to match so far. I have copied the whole series onto MP3s which are in order, so it is possible for me to play the entire series (all 75 Discs) in one go. I've actually done this three or four times over the past few years, the entire exercise taking over a week as I need to sleep every now and then!! The entire experience is a great way of living through the rise, rise and ultimate decline of what has to be the world's best ever record label, with the "golden period" being roughly from early '64 through to late '67 (just as I always thought). :) For anyone missing Volumes 1, 11A, 11B and 12B here are a few selections ..

I only bought it to get the two Blinky tracks! Now there's dedication for you! Of course it's really redundant! I may list on eBay in the new year. *****************************************************
