Comments and Reviews


Neil Forbes 7th Oct 2015		Decidedly not(more's the pity)! Motown put out some absolutely great stuff, bus sadly, EMI in Australia tended to ignore the greatest bulk of the output that the British division(parent) readily gobbled up! EMI in Britain couldn't get enough of Motown, especially for soul-mad buyers in the country's north. Yet here, only a handful of people bought the singles and albums, compared to Britain, so EMI Australia did not bother with most of the Motown output.



Record Collector 7th Oct 2015		No Australian issue yes as you said us Aussies weren't really into the Motown thing as it was treated like any other label



Neil Forbes 7th Oct 2015		US Top Ten perhaps, not necessarily British Top 10, and certainly NOT Australian as comparatively barely a handful of Motown records got into our charts, let alone made #1!



RogerFoster 7th Oct 2015		Originally issued the USA as "Jimmy Ruffin Sings Top 10", this was renamed for the U.K. market, no doubt as we pedantic Brits would have scoffed at the small number of songs on here that ever graced our Pop Charts ...



Neil Forbes 7th Oct 2015		Jimmy... brother of Temptations sometimes lead vocalist, David Ruffin. Jimmy was on the Soul label in the US while David was on Gordy while with The Tempts and on Motown as a solo artist from 1969 onward. Jimmy and David did one LP together(to my knowledge, there might be one or two more duet LPs by this pair) in 1969, "I Am My Brother's Keeper" on the Soul label.
