In memory of Motown songwriting legend and genius Lamont Dozier, who sadly died today. (RIP) Lamont Herbert Dozier June 16, 1941 - August 8, 2022) was an American singer, songwriter, and record producer, from Detroit, Michigan.He co-wrote and produced 14 US Billboard number 1 hits and 4 number ones in the UK.

I thought I'd take a stab at U.K.'s MOJO Magazine: The 100 Greatest Motown Tracks (Experts Poll - from February 2009). I made absolutely certain to include all the original hit single 7" 45 versions, all the glorious original mono mixes, until stereo became the norm in the early 70's.  I added 10 additional tracks as an extra special bonus, the tracks I think should have been included in the Top 100. Brought everything up to a nice even 22 tracks per disc.

Most officially released Motown CD compilations feature the much inferior stereo album mixes of songs, and not the far superior original mono 7" single mixes. I think you'll agree, the original mono single mixes sound a million times better than the stereo album versions. I honestly don't think you'll find a better Motown collection anywhere with this kind of quality and 110 massive hits found here.

Hope you enjoy many of the greatest records ever made.

Enjoy!
