Comment:

This mix was extracted from the 4 disc box set entitled "Hitsville USA, The Motown Singles Collection, 1959-1971". All tracks on that compilation are in mono so the mp3 file I'm including for download is a 96kbps mono file (click the first link title for the 48meg sized file). It will be available for a week. The two chart numbers given reflect the Pop & then the R&B rankings.

96kbps mono? Don't be lazy and upload a 128kbps stereo version of this groovy mix.
