VA - Motown Chartbusters Vol 4  1970-1997 [EAC-FLAC](oan)

Motown Chartbusters is a series of compilation albums first released by EMI under
licence on the Tamla Motown label in Britain - In total, 12 editions were released
in the UK between 1967 and 1982 - Volumes 1 and 2 were originally called British
Motown Chartbusters; after this the title Motown Chartbusters was used

Early Motown Records releases in Britain were not on the Motown label, but were issued
on the London, Fontana, Oriole and Stateside labels - In 1964, Motown's first number 1
in Britain was "Baby Love" by the Supremes, released on EMI's Stateside label - "Where
Did Our Love Go" by the Supremes, and "My Guy" by Mary Wells were amongst other big
hits in the same year, also on Stateside - The first release on the Tamla Motown label
was "Stop In The Name Of Love" by the Supremes, in March 1965.

By 1964, Motown had accumulated enough British hits for EMI to release a greatest hits
album, A Collection of Tamla Motown Big Hits - Over the next few years, several more
compilations were released, including six in the series 16 Original Big Hits - In 1967
the label issued the first of the Motown Chartbusters series - Although the series comprised
mainly hit singles by various Motown artists, the albums also included other recordings that
had not been hits in Britain and many significant single hits were excluded from the series
Later albums in the series failed to include any of the top ten singles achieved by Stevie
Wonder, or any of his releases - Minor hits were sometimes included in place of bigger hits
most notably for the Jackson 5 and Michael Jackson.

The original albums were made by EMI under licence from Motown - EMI also made 8-track cartridge
recordings of the early releases - In total, 12 editions were released in the UK, spanning
15 years from 1967 to 1982.
