Mojo Motown

[Cunnie]

Just picked up a copy of the latest Mojo magazine for the Motown 50th birthday special & thought a few of you on here might be interested.

The Motown section contains a pretty comprehensive Motown top 100 with reviews for each record & they ain't the usual pap that you would expect.

Also some pretty interesting interviews with people like Berry Gordy, HDH etc.

Some great pics in it as well & quite a few I ain't seen before.

Also contains a free cd as well & it's not the usual stuff you'd expect from a mag like this.

Tracklisting as follows.

1 Contours - Do You Love Me

2 Martha & Vvadellas - Come & Get These Memories

3 Supremes - Run Run Run

4 Eddie Holland - Leaving Here

5 Jr Walker - Tune Up

6 Marvin Gaye - At Last (I Found A Love)

7 Marvelettes - Locking Up My Heart

8 Jackson 5 - I Found That Girl

9 Four Tops - Still Water

10 Miracles - Baby Don't You Go

11 Temptations - Fading Away

12 Gladys Knight & Pips - Didn't You Know (You'd Have To Cry Sometime)

13 Bobby Taylor & Vancouvers - Does Your Mama Know About Me

14 Marv Johnson - Come To Me

15 Mable John - You Made A Fool Out Of Me

Well worth the £4.30 cover price & a must for the Motown fans.

Picked up a copy today and it it excellent - but I think you do the magazine an injustice Cunnie - it has always given first class coverage of black music - there has been some great specials and articles over the years - Sam Dees, Dan Penn; Bobby Bland, top 100 soul albums, Dave Godin's top Soul singers etc etc. Probably the only magazine I have bought consistantly over the past 15 years or more!!

Apart from the time that they printed a biog on Margie Hendrix, stating that she had never released a solo 45...
