Hi, R.C. Motown Giants I've had for yonks on cassette(pre-Dolby) Diana Ross & Supremes Plus, from memory that LP launched the "Gold Edge" series(I also have an LP copy). That one is notable for including "Hey Harmonica Man" by Stevie Wonder, and "Don't Let The Jones Get You Down" by The Temptations among its tracks, and could be actually about 1970 issue. One other in my lot is That Motown Sound which carries one of my all-time favourites, "A Little Bit For Sandy" by Paul Petersen(spelt incorrectly on the sleeve as Peterson). It was for that track that I bought the album! Perhaps we could "compare notes" in the PMs.
Ok here are two of the albums that I found first one is Motown Giants catalogue number Stelio 9816 and another under the gold edge series called Diana Ross and the supremes plus featuring the four tops Steve wonder and the temptations first one looks like it was issued in 1972 and issued around 1971
I'm thinking these albums, issued by Motown, across all the company's labels at the time, may have prompted EMI to start their own compilation series, giving birth in 1967 to the Chartbusters volumes. The first two being called "British Motown Chartbusters" but from Volume 3 onwards became simply "Motown Chartbusters". I know EMI Australia didn't take ALL the volumes, Some were "jiggled" with, to create the "Motown Giants" and "It's Summer" compilations(as examples) and I'm not entirely sure EMI's Euro divisions issued the Chartbusters series, though some of the Brit. LPs had the Euro catalogue system numbers on them.
