2020 collection. By May 1964, when InchThe 'Sound' of the R&B HitsInch compilation came out in the UK on Stateside, Motown had yet to have a hit or even a record issued on it's own tag, later to be Tamla-Motown. This LP was the first of many UK anthologies of recordings from the Detroit-based group of labels. At this stage, Motown was an underground affair, known only to aficionados of rhythm and blues music. Among those were members of groups such as the Beatles, the Rolling Stones, Georgie Fame & the Blue Flames and super-fan Dusty Springfield. This was not music that was played on the radio, so it was through UK cover versions that many young people were directed to the Motown sound. Ace director Roger Armstrong bought InchThe 'Sound' of the R&B HitsInch at the time and always heard it is as a companion piece to InchWith The BeatlesInch from the previous year. They both contained the Barrett Strong song 'Money'. For this CD a further 14 tracks have been added to the original selection, including the ever-popular 'You've Really Got A Hold On Me', 'Please Mr Postman' and 'Heatwave'. Also made available are the rarely compiled and obscure 45s by two of only a few white groups on the tag, Mike & the Modifiers and the Valadiers, which on Oriole will set you back at least £1,000 between them. Co-compiled and annotated by well-known radio producer, writer and annotator of Beatles box sets, Kevin Howlett, the CD provides a real insight into Motown in the UK at the time. Album Tracks 1.
