Steel-River-Wet SUBS 8th Jan 2021		Thanks Roger. We all learn as we go along (and grow older too, I think)!



RogerFoster 8th Jan 2021		"With respect to RogerFoster I've replaced (and 'hidden') your CD scan for one with a cleaner centre". Aha!! That would have been one of the very first CD images I submitted, using my trusty phone-camera and Paint.Net to edit the image. This was before I realised the simple and (in retrospect) blindingly obvious fact that if I slipped a sheet of white paper underneath the disc I would get a nice "clean" centre and not give tantalising hints of whatever happened to be underneath the CD!! There are probably still a few similar images hanging around and if anyone wants to replace them please feel free. :)

RogerFoster 10th Oct 2015		Actually Neil Forbes, it might have been better if the entire series had had the prefix "British" on them as that is exactly what they were ... a retrospective of what Motown records had impacted on The British Pop Charts in the year or so prior to when the LP was compiled. This is something which is sometimes lost on people who weren't in Britain at the time these compilations were originally issued, as they tend to look at the track lists and wonder why they contain obscure and/or anachronistic recordings (assuming, for example, that a 1972 issued LP will contain only tracks recorded in 1971/2). And yet, to anyone who WAS in Britain they made perfect sense, as they were the records that had been blasting out of radios, jukeboxes, record players etc. in the previous months. What made the charts in The UK didn't always match what was happening in other parts of the world. Some utter flops in the US were big hits in Britain, some British Motown single releases were never anything more than LP tracks in other territories, some deleted releases from the mid 1960s were re-released due to pent up demand that had built up over the years, and if Motown's London office didn't think that an act's new US release was likely to be a UK hit they would often dust off a record from four or five years previously and launch that on the Great British public instead.



Neil Forbes 10th Oct 2015		No, RC, That one is the "Diana Ross & Supremes Plus" and it didn't come within a bull's roar of the STELO-prefixed issues. MFP was starting to break away from EMI in Australia when that LP hit the budget-price racks.



Record Collector 10th Oct 2015		The other is through music for pleasure gold series



Neil Forbes 10th Oct 2015		RC, Have you any other Tamla-Motown LPs with STELO-prefixes? Take a note of the number, STELO-9816 and check it against any other STELO-prefixed issue that you know to be 1971 vintage. If those numbers are lower in range by anything up to 10 numbers, then "Motown Giants" might, just might, be a January, 1972 issue. But I expect it to have been issued in the latter half of 1971.



Record Collector 10th Oct 2015		Looking at my Australian record copy I'd say it was issued in 1972



Neil Forbes 10th Oct 2015		So have I, but it's an earlier CD issue than the batch that these came from. Chartbusters 5 itself wasn't issued in Australia as such, it was cut down to a twelve-track LP called "Motown Giants"(STELO-9816) and issued in 1971.



Record Collector 10th Oct 2015		Has Motown chartbusters volume 5



Neil Forbes 10th Oct 2015		The correct title of this and Vol.2 is "British Motown Chartbusters" Spectrum is doing a disservice to these albums and the memories thereof in interfering with the titles and graphic designs. I much prefer the original first CD versions, but even more-so, the original British EMI-issued LPs as they are "the genuine articles".
