The new collection includes The Four Tops’ 1967 Reach Out, The Marvelettes’ Sophisticated Soul, The Miracles’ 1963 You’ve Really Got A Hold On Me , Diana Ross & The Supremes’ 1968 Reflections – which has never been commercially released in mono – and The Temptations’ 1965 The Temptations Sing Smokey.

“Motown’s hits were engineered to leap out of the radio. Their mono mixes imparted power, presence, and immediacy to certain sonic ingredients – especially bass and vocals”, writes the label.

The 5xLP collection has been remastered from the original analog master tapes by Kevin Gray, and includes a custom slipmat.

It follows Motown’s recent collaboration with Carhartt WIP on a new collection featuring clothes and gear.
