MOTOWN RECORDS 60 YEARS
Motown’s 60th Anniversary celebration is in full swing, with a host of special commemorative initiatives taking place throughout the year.
Motown/Ume recently released a newly-expanded edition of the collectible Motown: The Complete No. 1’s box set worldwide. The set features 208 chart-topping Motown hits in one must-have 11-CD compilation. Showcasing the iconic American label’s universal cultural significance, Motown: The Complete No. 1’s includes U.S. and international chart-topping singles. And bonus tracks showcase Motown songs that were hits for other artists.
Universal Music’s media announcement summed is housed in a lovely replica of Motown’s original Hitsville U.S.A. headquarters in Detroit, Michigan (now home to the Motown Museum). The box set also includes an exclusive 100-page book with rare and vintage photos, detailed track annotations and an introduction by Smokey Robinson, who is himself responsible for 20 Motown No. 1’s, both with his group The Miracles and as a solo artist.”
