Many CDs are just re-mashed hits collections - in some cases they just change the artwork and issue again under the same catalogue number. What is the single most released track amongst all these CDs - DRATS "Baby Love" must be a real contender.

I feel sad, all the great latter-years releases [[Hip-O Select, Big Break Records, Funkytown Grooves), were all limited print runs, thus if I look for them today, their prices would be jacked up five-ten times their original listed price.

Are you sure Diana Ross sings songs from the Wiz 2015 is a cd? I thought it was a digital download only!
...if you notice jack ...I've included all notable and significant releases of Motown and related CDs ...digital releases ...DVDs ...and vinyl ...in the CD-age ...in this series...! ...all the 'Motown Unreleased' compilations ...apart from MU1966 ...have been digital only releases ...it would have been a shame not to include them...! :)
Here's the last in this current series of 'Complete Motown CDs' ...for the moment! I hope I haven't overlooked any significant releases. A BIG THANK YOU to Ralph and Lowell for letting this happen...

Johnny Gill has had a "Icon" compilation not so long ago - sure, it was a budget, Walmart only release - but to me, it kind of helps signalling Johnny Gill, truly a man with a big voice, represent legendary status as a Motown Great.

Lionel Richie Hello from Las Vegas is on Capitol records! :)
I'm not the OP, but I did find this track listing. And it appears to be a vinyl only release?

Oh Wow great seeing all those CD covers and it reminded me it was 'Big Motown Hits and Hard To Find Classics Vol 1' that really got me into Motown I played that CD to death back then.
Question: Of the last five years worth of CDs represented on the post, which one, how many of them are actual Motown Company, as in Motown USA, CDs proper?
I guess no matter what age I am, I'll always love browsing all the different Motown album covers. Nice work Grapevine posting all this. I wonder how you were able to post them all so easily; when I tried to post philles/motown_Gary's Phil Spector collection of album cover art, the "insert image" kept failing and Lowell didn't know what was wrong.
Great effort, though, and fun to look at. When I was a kid, I was forever staring at the Motown album inner sleeves and crossing off the ones I had and circling the ones I wanted to buy! I wonder how many hours I spent like that!
A Massive Undertaking, Masterfully Done Grapevine!
As I contemplate this much appreciated labor of love, a few thoughts come to mind. How much I enjoy/enjoyed looking at the album covers over the years as some of you had stated previously. To see visually how there are some series that ended too abruptly for my liking, the Remastered Smokey Robinson Solo 2 fors, the series of 2 for SR and the Miracles that ended with Time Out For/Four In Blue if we are just talking Smokey Robinson. The appreciation of this Forum, for notifying us of the latter releases. Where else would we have known about a lot of these titles being available. The fact that at first glance it may appear that it is the same material being being rehashed and repackaged, to those not on this forum. But for those of us in the know, take the Temptations, on Emperors of Soul, on the Anthology released before it, there were so many unreleased tracks which you would not have gotten on the previous Anthology/Greatest Hits packages. And lastly, how my life has been enhanced by my investing so much in the music that is indeed, the soundtrack to my life, and has paid untold dividends.
