About this deal

The first nine albums were Top 15 UK Albums Chart entries, whereas the later albums from 10 to 12 did not chart.

In 1964, Motown's first number 1 in Britain was " Baby Love" by the Supremes, released on EMI's Stateside label. We don’t share your credit card details with third-party sellers, and we don’t sell your information to others.

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. Over the next few years, several more compilations were released, including six in the series 16 Original Big Hits. This consisted of only five albums which had completely different track listings to the UK releases. 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 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. To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. Mary Wells' hit 'My Guy' features on Volume 7, released in 1972, after it had been a substantive reissue hit, despite being first released in 1964 and similarly 'Baby Love' is included on Volume 9, as it had been re-issued in 1974, ten years after it first charted in the UK for The Supremes.After its success in the UK, Motown went on to release variants of the compilation format in other counties such as the United States and Australia.

The first release on the Tamla Motown label was " Stop In The Name Of Love" by the Supremes, in March 1965.Early Motown Records releases in Britain were not on the Motown label, but were issued on the London, Fontana, Oriole and Stateside labels.

By 1964, Motown had accumulated enough British hits for EMI to release a greatest hits album, A Collection of Tamla Motown Big Hits.

There were also various releases on the same type of platform, such as Motown Chartbusters, 150 Hits of Gold and boxed sets. Because of Motown's policy of re-issuing tracks on single on a regular basis, there are some anomalies in the inclusion of tracks.
