Product features:
- The gritty urban environment, the burgeoning pride and drive of black Americans, and blues, soul and gospel influences combined to form the music coming out of Detroit in the early 1960s. The sounds of early Motown were hopeful and soulful and, above all, made you want to dance. Motown: The Early Years features some of Motown s greatest hits recorded live by current Motown touring groups. Motow
Movie Reviews of Motown: The Early Years
Movie Review: Classic and Lovely
Summary: 5 Stars
This DVD release of early Motown music features up beat Soul music performed by survivors of several groups. For a baby boomer this is my kind of music. For me, I'm glad this is not a release from the archives; they might be too poor in quality for my taste. Once again kudos to TJ Lubinsky and Shout Factory. The Disk does not have the DTS option however the 2.0 stereo choice gives me better sound than the 5.1 selection. My stereo setup has 7 speakers for a 7.1 setup. However because there are almost no disks released in 7.1 I'm using the 2 back surround speakers as parallel front speakers. This reproduces the front sound in the back. And then there are the 2 side surround speakers and the center, plus the subwoofer. Thus choosing 2 channel stereo on tne DVD player and then ProLogic 2 music on the Sony amplifier is just as good as DTS in this case. I love it. The one short coming of the DVD is that it's only 38.5 minutes long (not even 50 mins).
