About Various Artists - The Complete Motown Singles, Vol. 3: 1963

By 1963, Berry Gordy and company were fine-tuning Motowns sound. Jumping on the charts were Martha & The Vandellas, with Come And Get These Memories and Heat Wave, signaling the emergence of the writing/production team Holland-Dozier-Holland. Little Stevie Wonder was No.1 with the record-breaking Fingertips (Part 2). Mary Wells You Lost The Sweetest Boy and Whats Easy For Two Is So Hard For One turned out to be a double-sided hit. The Supremes made their Top 40 chart debut. This five-CD set captures the hits and the misses during the labels fifth year of existence. It features the A-side and B-side of every single released by Motown and its subsidiaries during the high-growth phase of Detroits entertainment juggernaut. Over the course of the sets 119 tracks, you can hear The Chuck-A-Lucks and Jack Haney & Nikiter Armstrong with a couple of Cold War novelties, Martha & The Vandellas following one hit natural disaster Heat Wave with another Quicksand, and an outstanding H-D-H production The Marvelettes Locking Up My Heart that should have been a much bigger hit than it was. Leaving the fold were the Workshop Jazz, Divinity and Miracle labels; new to the company was the V.I.P. imprint.The set is bound in a scaled-down 78-rpm-era album, with cardboard sleeves to hold each of the discs, and 92 pages of rare photos, detailed annotations and liner notes. It also features a reproduction 45-rpm single from its era; in this case, its Martha & The Vandellas (Love Is Like A) Heat Wave b/w A Love Like Yours (Dont Come Knockin Every Day). Martha Reeves contributes an essay to the set detailing the artists-eye-view of life in the labels early years. Also included is an historical overview by author and scholar Craig Werner, and, as in previous volumes, copious track-by-track annotations researched by noted authors and discographers Bill Dahl and Keith Hughes.

Holy Toledo ! Holy Motown !!! 1963- 5 discs , 119 songs , 5 hours , 26 minutes , 55 seconds. You probably already have the other two. You know what you're gonna get. Gem after gem. I challenge anyone to be able to NOT listen to any of these complete sets straight through. Makes a great evening! Volume 4 , 1964 anyone ? November 7, 2007
