THE FOUR TOPS - Reach Out I'll Be There - 45 RPM


FOUR TOPS - REACH OUT I'LL BE THERE (ORIGINAL 45)
This is the best way to listen to Motown, through the original 45's. The bass really thumps throughout this record. A strong case can be made that Reach Out I'll Be There is the greatest song ever released by Motown. If you do not have access to a turntable or are able to find a good clean copy of the original 45 as shown in this video, the next best thing is is purchase the Complete Motown Singles - 1966 released by Hip-O Select. 1966 is arguably the best year Motown had. Unfortunately this will set you back about $125.00 ($US) and the supply is running out due it's limited edition status. But, it is still available on MP3 format on iTunes for $60.00 or by the track at $0.99 in the U.S.I have the set and it is great! The content is wonderful, the box set is first class and the sound quality is top notch but still does not touch the fire of the original 45's.

Special thanks to YouTube user WaxBadgerVinyl with providing us this wonderful video
