Album Description
Introducing the newest instalment in this award-winning continuing series as it swings into 1969. Even as the world rolled on like a ball of confusion, it was a new morning for "The Sound of Young America" in 1969. That story is in full flower on The Complete Motown Singles, Vol. 9: 1969, a 6-CD set that's the latest instalment in the acclaimed series from Hip-oSelect.

This incredible year is captured in 148 songs from 42 artists on Motown's many labels across the six CDs of The Complete Motown Singles, Vol. 9: 1969. Highlights include Edwin Starr's "Twenty-Five Miles," "Someday We'll Be Together" by Diana Ross & The Supremes - that line-up's finale and the final No. 1 hit of the decade - Gladys Knight & The Pips' "Friendship Train," and The Jackson 5's still-amazing "I Want You Back," which is also featured as the replica 45 housed in the front cover.

Featured in the box set's thick booklet is an introductory essay from former Motown executive and current artist manager Shelly Berger, an overview of the times by music historian Stu Hackel, detailed track notations, discographies and cross-references, and, of course, terrific photos from the Motown Archives.
