This new boxset from Universal compiled by Wigan Casino DJ Russ Winstanley, it's a four-disc set, each with its own theme - Motown Memories, Motown's Hidden Nuggets, Northern Floorshakers and Northern Anthems. For the serious collector, there's probably little new - although some tracks have made it out of the Motown archives for the first time. But for the less obsessive, it promises a mix of dancefloor staples and rare gems from the 60s to the present day - yes, even Frank Popp makes an appearance.
