The tenth volume of Hip-O-Select's comprehensive series of Motown box sets contains every single released by the Detroit label in 1970. The year 1970 was a time of transition for Motown. The ace songwriting team Holland-Dozier-Holland split with Motown in 1968 and were replaced by a crack production team known as "The Corporation" whose slick pop-funk would come to define the Motown sound in the early `70s. While The Corporation worked their magic on landmark Jackson 5 recordings like "ABC," more established Motown artists continue to follow their own creative courses. The virtues of this monumental collection are too great to enumerate in full, but rest assured in knowing that this compilation contains some of the finest pop music ever recorded.
