Given the tremendous volume, range, and generally superior quality of Motown's output throughout the 1960s, it is difficult to find a satisfyingly comprehensive collection, and fans are easily in danger of finding themselves neck-deep in the sea of compilations flooding the market. The four-disc HITSVILLE U.S.A. box and THE MOTOWN STORY, VOL. 1: THE SIXTIES are good bets, but 2005's beautifully compiled four-disc THE MOTOWN BOX matches--and arguably surpasses--those collections.

In addition to containing nearly every essential chart hit by the Miracles, Marvin Gaye, the Supremes, the Temptations, the Four Tops, Martha & the Vandellas, and Little Stevie Wonder--not to mention classics by the likes of Mary Wells, the Elgins, the Spinners, and the Marvellettes--THE MOTOWN BOX boasts extended stereo remixes of the majority of singles. Audiophiles used to the mono mixes will relish the rich sound here, and Motown fanatics will have to own the fourth disc, which contains rarities and B-sides. These bonuses heighten the appeal on this already outstanding and thorough collection of some of the best pop music of the 20th century.

3 stars Excellent!
If you absolutely want the original mono mixes this is not the album for you! Buy the Hitsville USA box instead. But if want excellent sounding sometimes slightly longer)stereo versions this is the box to buy! By the way: The Four Tops "It´s The Same Old Song" IS included!

This box set has every song you can remember from the Motown sound days,clear and strong, not like your old AM radio where you first heard them. These are full recordings, a little extra on the beginning and on the end of most...not cut off for radio play. This box set is HEAVEN!

3 stars Motown Box Set
Since I am an avid Fan of Motown, I couldn't wait to get this version of songs after watching "Motown, The Early Years" on PBS. Included in this box set is some gems namely Stevie Wonder's "Purple Raindrops" in which I haven't heard since the 60's. I love the extended versions of these hits as well and some of the stereo versions as well. A must to have.

5 stars Well Worth Every Penny!
I must say that I was pleasantly surprised on my first listen of this set. Even though there's really nothing "rare" included here, the new mixes to many of the often-heard songs of classic Motown sound absolutely fantastic! Tom Moulton did a did a superb job. I highly recommend that all lovers of Motown get this set...you won't be disappointed!!
