Motown Chartbusters Volume 3

Product Information

Over the next few years, several more compilations were released, including six in the series 16 Original Big Hits.

Early Motown Records releases in Britain were not on the Motown label, but were issued on the London, Fontana, Oriole and Stateside labels. The clear differences between the two releases are the logos on the disc and cover: the original release has the Tamla Motown logo; the re-release has the Motown logo. 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. Motown Chartbusters is a series of compilation albums first released by EMI under licence on the Tamla Motown label in Britain.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. Minor hits were sometimes included in place of bigger hits, most notably for the Jackson 5 and Michael Jackson.

To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average.

The first release on the Tamla Motown label was " Stop In The Name Of Love" by the Supremes, in March 1965.
