-Motown inaugurates its 40th Anniversary Celebration with three best-selling catalog classics newly remastered with 20-Bit technology and featuring original artwork
-Three titles kick off Motown's Remasters Series:
JACKSON FIVE, Greatest Hits:(31453-0852-4, 2)
In the 25 years since the J5's first Hits album reached #12 on the Pop charts, this collection has sold over 1,000,000 units. The album features four Top 10 hits, including "I Want You Back," "ABC," and "I'll Be There," one of the biggest singles in Motown history.
TEMPTATIONS, Greatest Hits: (31453-0853-4, 2)
The #1 Soul group for the decade released its first Hits collection in 1996. It exploded into one of Motown's best-selling albums of the decades. Surpassing 2,000,000 units, it features six Top 10 R&B hits, including #1s, "My Girl" and "Ain't Too Proud To Beg."
TEMPTATIONS, Greatest Hits Vol. 2: (31453-0854-4, 2)
By 1970 the Temptations had accrued another eight Top 10 records, and released their second Hits collection. It includes Motown's first Grammy-winning single, "Cloud Nine," plus "I Wish It Would Rain," "I Can't Get Next To You," and "Ball Of Confusion."
What Is 20-Bit Technology?
We're all familiar with 16-bit technology, a process used in manufacturing CDs since they first appeared in the 1980s. Using 16-bit measurements, a sound is sampled 44,100 times per second. The 16-bit process recognizes over 65,000 sounds. 20-bit technology also samples sound 44,100 times per second, but can identify over 1,000,000 sounds.
Bottom line: 20-bit technology provides a more accurate picture of sound, significantly improving the fidelity, dynamic range, and "warmth" of our favorite music.
Each volume of the ReMasters Series utilizes the revolutionary APOGEE UV22 SUPER CD ENCODING PROCESS for improved sonic accuracy.
