A Less Than Satisfying Collection

"Okay, five stars for the music, but only one star for the value on this installment of the 20th Century Masters fiasco. After all, you're getting just over 34 minutes of music. By the time you purchase volumes 1 and 2, you could instead purchase 2000's Motown-The Classic Years, a two-disc, 40-song collection that includes more than half of these songs and other classics like "The Tracks of My Tears," "Reach Out I'll Be There" and "I Can't Get Next to You." Motown keeps repackaging their Sixties and Seventies back catalog, and sometimes they get it right. Collections like Motown-The Classic Years hits the bull's-eye. This Millennium Collection doesn't even hit the target."

"this is where these Collections are Weak.Motown has so Much Great Music that one Disc can't Possible cover the Many Important Artists on the Label.You gotta start with 5 Discs to fully understand the Motown Sound.it's a Company that won't ever be matched again.The Talent over the Years on Motown alone is mind blowing a basic set like this does it a Injustice."
