VA - Motown Around The World: The Classic Singles (2010) FLAC

motown records made international inroads in the mid-1960s, with hits in the united kingdom and a fan base spreading across europe. the company wanted to do more, and the vision was this: by the end of the decade motown superstars, from stevie wonder to the temptations, the supremes to the four tops, edwin starr to martha and the vandellas, would record and release italian, german and spanish language versions of several of their classic hits, as well as five new songs created especially for the local market. those singles - and a promotion-only album of the italian recordings - became instant collector's items. now, for the first time, all of motown's classic-era foreign language singles are collected on 'motown around the world: the classic singles', a 38-track, 2-cd set including four french recordings by the velvelettes, discovered in the vault for their 2004 uk anthology. as another bonus, 'motown around the world' includes two spanish cuts from the late '70s-early '80s: spanish versions of 'being with you' by smokey robinson and 'let get serious' by jermaine jackson, the latter in a super-rare long version.
