The Motown Classic Hits series of CDs ran to 5 volumes I believe - each having 12 tracks digitally mastered from mono analog sources.

The track sequences follow exactly the 16 Big Hits series with obviously carry over between CDs such that, for example, Motown Classic Hits Volume 1 and the first four tracks on Volume 2 are from A Package of 16 Big Hits [[Volume 1 of that series)..

As there are 5 x 12 = 60 tracks, 16 Big Hits 1 to 3 are fully represented in mono, plus 12 of the 16 tracks from Volume 4. Disappointing that we didn't get all of Volume 4 of course but would have been nice to have even more volumes too. One wonders why stop mid album/series but that's nothing new for Motown such that 16 Big Hits Volume 11 never appeared on CD at all.

Anyhow the Motown Classic Hits CDs were attractively packaged and I think theyre good. What did others make of them?
