El Sonido de la Joven América

February 17, 2010 By Mike Duquette 1 Comment

I've been waiting for this one for a long time: Hip-O Select is releasing a new compilation of classic Motown songs in a whole new way. Motown Around the World: The Classic Singles compiles 38 songs from the label as recorded in other languages for international markets. The Supremes, The Temptations, Stevie Wonder, The Four Tops, The Velvelettes, Smokey Robinson and Edwin Starr sing the songs you know and love (plus a few folk ballads native to other countries) in Italian, Spanish, French and German, almost entirely preserved in their original single mixes. Trust me: if you love Motown, you're going to flip when you hear some of this stuff.

Check out the full track list after the jump.

  10. The Four Tops - Gira, Gira (Reach Out I'll Be There)
  11. The Four Tops - L'Arcobaleno (Walk Away, Renee)
  12. Stevie Wonder - Dove Vai? (Trav'lin Man)

Mike Duquette (Founder) was fascinated with catalog music ever since he was a teenager. A 2009 graduate of Seton Hall University with a B.A. in journalism, Mike paired his profession with his passion through The Second Disc, one of the first sites to focus on all reissue labels great and small. His passion for reissues turned into a career, holding positions at Legacy Recordings and Rhino Records and contributing to Allmusic, Discogs, City Pages, Ultimate Classic Rock and Mondo Records, for whom he penned liner notes for his favorite piece of music: John Williams' Oscar-winning score to 'E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial.' Born and raised in New Jersey, Mike lives in Astoria, Queens with his wife, a cat named Ravioli, twin daughters and a large yet tasteful collection of music.

    It must take a long time to generate artwork. I downloaded this compilation in November last year.

    It's interesting but the novelty wears off quickly. I doubt that anyone will listen to both discs consecutively. Everyone already knows the songs, the instrumentation is very similar to the originals.

    This is one that gets played once and sits on the shelf for the next five years until you throw it away to make room for more stuff.
