Various / Motown Forty Forever 40th Ann. - CD (Used)

Author: Various

Format: Compilation

Release Date: 10-03-1998

Details: Amazon.ca Despite the confident title of this 40th-anniversary collection, Motown Forever, several of its selections were beginning to age badly even at the time of its 1998 release. Sure, comparing the hits of Rockwell, Shanice, and Today--not to mention a Puff Daddy remix of the Jackson 5's eternal "I Want You Back"--to chestnuts from Motown's golden era may be unfair, but the company's late-90s keepers promote that less-than-flattering test by including the former here. At the same time, most of the true classics heard on Forever have been endlessly anthologised and played on oldies radio. Those who own absolutely none of the great music Motown unleashed from the 60s to the early 80s might find this double-CD overview instructive. Almost everyone else will find their ears drawn to more listenable CDs. -- Rickey Wright
