Greetings Motown-Maniacs like myself! Once accumulated every single "Ultimate Collections", still hold my "Complete Motown Number Ones" and "Hitsville USA: the Complete Motown Singles".
But, as everyone I'm sure experiences every full-moon, everything, sooner or later, does not last forever. Eventually, discs, tapes, vinyl, whatever, scratches, and possibly the next thing ya know, it skips, scratchy sounds, or warps.
Beginning to seriously think about re-"rejuvenating" my Motown music collection now, the replacement of some CDs I still have that's over ten years old!
Thinking about replacement, through inexpensive, mid-budget, single disc collections, so when their time has reached as well another someday, it would be just as inexpensive to replace them again, rather than spend another forty-to near two hundred [[the $$$ paid for Complete Motown No.1s) for extravagant big-box sets, that even they wear someday, or even a few tracks the day ya' open it!
Temptations-wise, yes, I still have my Emperors of Soul 5-disc set that essentially has their everything and then some over the course of their career from 1959-1994. It had a good run the years treasured, but, countless numbers of scratches noticeable each disc, and even some tracks unable to play, depreciating re-listenable value of collection. Looking for a single disc to "replace" that may be quite the "downgrade", but this time, if it has a decently hearty enough number of their fun hits, to listen, to "groove", to even "sing along" to, it'll be all good.
Yes, aware, like Marvin Gaye and Stevie Wonder, it's a next to impossible feat to have the Tempts' entire career in a single disc, but as long as it has:
- The Way You Do the Things You Do
- My Girl
- Get Ready
- Ain't Too Proud to Beg
- Beauty's Only Skin-Deep
- [[I Know) I'm Losing You
- I Wish It Would Rain
- Cloud Nine
- I Can't Get Next To You
- Psychadelic Shack
- Ball of Confusion
- Just My Imagination [[Running Away With Me)
- Papa Was A Rollin' Stone
at least most of them, and possibly then somes [[ Since I Lost My Baby, All I Need, ect). Sadly, always notice "Ultimate Collection" and "Definitive Collection" is noticeably ommitting "Beauty's Only Skin-Deep" and "Number Ones" is ommitting "Cloud Nine".
