The Complete Motown Singles Vol. 9: 1969 6CD + 7"

$119.76

Description

Every single Motown released in 1969, collected on six CDs with 148 remastered tracks and a bonus 7-inch.

This is the year The Jackson 5 arrived. "I Want You Back" is here in its original single form, backed with "Who's Lovin' You," and it sits in sequence among everything else the company put out that year rather than being singled out. Around it: Diana Ross preparing to leave The Supremes, Marvin Gaye and Tammi Terrell, David Ruffin newly solo on "My Whole World Ended (The Moment You Left Me)," Edwin Starr's "Twenty-Five Miles," and dozens more records.

Presented in strict chronological order with A-sides, B-sides, promotional stereo versions and alternate mixes, and accompanied by the detailed annotation that has made this series the standard reference for Motown's catalogue.

1969 was the last full year before the label's centre of gravity shifted west, and this volume captures it in complete detail.
