Free Music Notes for Hitsville USA The Motown Singles Collection 1959-1971 Album
Free Music Review: Poor mixes, poor sound
Hit: 2 Stars
Someone pointed out in another review that the songs are presented in the original mono versions. More than that, I also have the Chartbusters (12 cds) Mowtown compilation and in addition some old vinyl recordings, and I have noticed that the actual _mixes_ are not even the same as the original recordings. For instance, on Stevie Wonder's "For Once In My Life" and Glady Knight and the Pips' "I Heard It Through The Grapevine" there are parts that are just plain missing. I'm very disappointed, as my favorite songs do not sound at all as I remember them.
Update: I listened again. I think I might have been mistaken when I said that parts were just plain missing. I think it's just that the mono versions actually bury things that come across more clearly in the stereo versions. It just a shame that the original record company couldn't have done a better job in light of the advent of the CD.
