The Shadows Of Love: Jon Savage's Intense Tamla 66-68

Search: Temptation
by: Various Artists

Release Date October 02, 2006
There are literally dozens of different Motown complations to choose from and sometimes picking one could seem quite bewildering. The other difficulty these days is actually to come up with a way of compliling them which is both original and likely to entice. Jon Savage has taken a rather unique approach to selecting his tracks for "Shadows Of Love" focusing the attention on the darker side of the lyrics to songs all taken from what many would consider the real golden age of Motown.

The premise itself does at first strike you as a little pretentious although it does focus one on the content of the lyrics themselves which reveals how dark some of the songs really are. Savage's notes rarely stray into pretention but reveal his ... Read More:

Motown Chartbusters, Vol. 1

Search: Temptation
by: Various Artists

Release Date
A couple of decades before the 'Now' series started, even years before all those 'K-Tel' and 'Ronco' albums, Tamla Motown in Britain were trotting out their finest on compilations.

This one released in autumn 1967, catalogues the patchy but growing popularity of the Motown sound in Britain in 1966/7. It may have seemed folly to put so many hits on one album, but they were looking to raise their profile and to consolidate on their recent successes.

Let me take it back a little further. Tamla Motown's first album in Britain, released in spring 1965 was '16 Big Hits'. That series continued for the rest of the 60s, reaching Volume 8. They continued in conjunction with the Chartbusters, featuring betwixt and between ... Read More:

Motown Mod Fave Raves - Volume 2

Search: Temptation
by: Various Artists

Release Date July 09, 2001
It is a great testament to the skill of the musicians, singers, writers, arrangers and producers of forty years ago that these Detroit production line models of disposable pop should now be awarded classic status and be so much in demand. This and its companion volume one, lovingly compiled for the English market, is subtitled 20 Collectable Modernist Soul Classics and are the floor filling sounds that echoed and spinned inside the Mod clubs in the mid sixties, made by acts such as the Miracles, Martha and the Vandellas, the Contours, Eddie Holland, Marvin Gaye, the Marvelettes, the Temptations, Chris Clark and many more.

Northern Soul was something different, although there are overlaps. These are all highly contagious dance tracks, ... Read More:
