The Complete Motown Singles Vol. 12B: 1972 5CD + 7"

$98.98

Description

The second half of 1972 across five CDs, 100 remastered tracks and a bonus 7-inch, continuing the chronological survey of every single Motown released.

These are the months that produced "Papa Was A Rollin' Stone," Norman Whitfield and Barrett Strong's twelve-minute psychodrama for The Temptations, and "Ben," the Michael Jackson ballad that went to number one. Around them sit the B-sides, promotional stereo versions and lesser-known releases from a company now settling into life in Los Angeles and pushing into film and television.

Every release appears in order of issue with full discographical detail and extensive annotation, so the set documents the label's output month by month rather than selecting its highlights.
