Motown: The Complete No. 1’s / 11CD

Motown: The Complete No. 1's / 11CD

Motown: The Complete No. 1’s is being reissued as an 11CD box set in June.

This set features classic Motown songs that were number one somewhere in the world and it includes artists like Smokey Robinson & the Miracles, Stevie Wonder, the Supremes, the Temptations, the Jackson 5, the Commodores, Gladys Knight & the Pips, the Four Tops, Boyz II Men, and many more.

There’s around 200 tracks in total and one difference from the previous set (released in 2008) is that this features a 11th bonus CD of six tracks.

Motown: The Complete No. 1’s comes creatively packaged in a box styled as a replica of the original Hitsville Motown building and is being reissued as part of Motown’s 60th anniversary celebrations in 2019.

While it’s not particularly cheap it does also include a 100-page photo book with an introduction by Smokey Robinson.

Motown: The Complete No. 1’s is released on 28 June 2019.
