now, here's the deal- need to get at least 1 comp (possibly box-set) for my dad, who's a HUGE mo-town freak! i can't even list all the vinyl he has of this stuff, but it's pretty wrecked from playin it for 30 years. i want to upgrade him to the digital age, but don't want to buy every album he has. what's a good mo-town comp one could get that goes over a pretty good span?
feel free to list multiple so i can pick n' choose!

It's Motown not Mo-Town

I like this one:

Because it's in MONO. Haven't heard the late-model stereo remixes on that new box, but the old ones are generally awful.

If you really want to splurge, pick up those Hip-O Select singles boxes.
