In 1998 Motown/Universal Music re-released the two albums "20 Golden Greats" with Diana Ross and The Supremes (the one with the famous 'lips' cover, seven weeks at #1 in the UK in 1977, a healthy seller all through the 1970's and 1980's) and Diana Ross' "20 Golden Greats" (1979, UK #2, released in most parts of the world except the US) as a double CD compilation under the slightly misleading title "40 Golden Motown Greats".

" - Why misleading?" you ask yourself in bewilderment. Well, Universal very cleverly didn't re-release those two original Motown compilations, in so far as compilations can be original, with the same track lists as those comprehensive, essential and bestselling vinyl albums we all bought in the 70's and 80's, did they? Those with all hits, no fillers, and with a combined playing time of some 140 minutes excellent value for money? Oh no. They very discretely snuck in 14 'new' tracks, including 6 lesser known recordings with The Supremes after Diana Ross had left the group plus a couple of duets with The Temptations and The Four Tops. Great tracks, sure, fantastic even, but none of them went gold as far as I know.

The same number of tracks were consequently dropped including some of The Supremes' greatest hits like "Forever Came Today", "No Matter What Sign You Are", "Some Things You Never Get Used To" but most importantly their 1966 classic "Love Is Like an Itching in My Heart" (Why?!). There were now 24 tracks with The Supremes and, again, consequently just 16 with Diana Ross.... They did the same thing to Ross' 1981 album "All The Great Hits" in 2000; same title, same cover art, different track selection. The current CD version features tracks that weren't included on either the original US or European Motown editions - and "40 Golden Motown Greats" was in turn released twice with two different covers entirely.

Well done Universal Music. ...and now, some 10 years on, you wonder why people can't be bothered buying your products anymore....?

So please find enclosed those two 'original' "20 Golden Greats" compilations in their entirety, as released by Motown in the 1970's, plus those additional tracks from Universal's - if you pardon the expression - shoddy "40 Golden Motown Greats". All in chronological order. All in all "60 Golden Motown Greats" with a total playing time of some 4 hours! Plus a few 'bonus' tracks, we all love those don't we, such as the four recordings from Ross' criminally overlooked 1978 album "Ross". In 320 kbps quality. Brilliant value for money if I may say so myself......... and musically it can't get much better than this, these are milestones in the history of popular music and without a shadow of a doubt the finest decade in Ross' solo career, but we all know that.

Enjoy and share with your fellow man. And woman.
