    Motown remasters five albums for Motown In Mono series

    Motown has remastered 5 of their classic releases in mono for a new series, called Motown in Mono.




    The new collection includes The Four Tops’ 1967 Reach Out, The Marvelettes’ Sophisticated Soul, The Miracles’ 1963 You’ve Really Got A Hold On Me , Diana Ross & The Supremes’ 1968 Reflections – which has never been commercially released in mono – and The Temptations’ 1965 The Temptations Sing Smokey

    “Motown’s hits were engineered to leap out of the radio. Their mono mixes imparted power, presence, and immediacy to certain sonic ingredients – especially bass and vocals”, writes the label.

    The 5xLP collection has been remastered from the original analog master tapes by Kevin Gray, and includes a custom slipmat.

    It follows Motown’s recent collaboration with Carhartt WIP on a new collection featuring clothes and gear.

    Thanks for the info.

    Funny, I could swear that the copy I have of the REFLECTIONS album is mono. I guess I was wrong. Also interesting in the photo above is that the Tempts' album has a Motown label instead of Gordy.

    I didn't notice that when I posted. Now it makes me wonder if these releases will have the original labels and mono numbers. My Supremes' albums were also in mono, and I later replaced them with stereo and gave my monos away. Guess that was a mistake

    Re the Tempts album cover, I also notice that the Motown logo is on it as well. Maybe this copy was taken from when the album was re-issued in the 80s.

    Is it available for purchase yet. The site just kept sending me back to the advert., even when I went to the store banner.

    Somebody doesn't know the product. "Sophisticated Soul" was a 1968 release, not 1967.
