CD Reviews

Volume 11A ???????
Jim Z | 11/20/2008
(5 out of 5 stars)

"Yep. Volume 11A. Motown had so many singles in 1971 that these 5 discs only represent January to June 1971. And there are 119 tracks !

Man , this series is unbeatable! We are now at 60 discs in the series ; 71 hours , 17 minutes and 21 seconds ; and 1517 songs !!

Fact is , there will be a 12A & B for the final Detroit era years represented in the series as well : 1972. That will bring the total to 14 boxed sets. And the whole series is scheduled to be done in 2009 for Mighty Motown's 50TH !

These things are all limited editions , and sold-out editions are commanding high prices already. If you have any inclination to purchase them , you better act quickly !



Oh? The MUSIC? I mean , what needs to be said ? Diana , The Temps , Marvin , The Jackson 5 , Smokey , Stevie , Rare Earth. I mean c'mon now! It's 1971 all over again !!!!!"
Wrong versions of "Mama's Pearl" and "She's Good"
Superbu | Los Angeles, CA United States | 03/03/2009
(4 out of 5 stars)

"Although "The Complete Motown Singles" is a phenomenal series, compiling the mono singles masters for every Motown 45, there have been a few mistakes. In this volume, "Mama's Pearl" is a mono mix of the album version, not the the 45 version, which is still M.I.A. on CD in its mono mix. The difference is that, on the single version, there's a vocal scat of "dmm dmm dmm" over the intro, about ten seconds in. That's missing here. Also, at about 2:38, Michael should sing, "Let your conscience go, now, now." On the LP version included here, he shouts, "Let your conscience gooo!"



Also, "She's Good" as included here is the Jackson 5 group version from the album "Maybe Tomorrow." The original single contained a solo version by Jermaine only.



Sadly, neither of these songs has ever appeared on CD in their exact mono single versions.



Hopefully Hip-O will issue corrected discs and/or downloads, which has been done at least twice in the past with this series."
