Motown/YMMV


 * Archive Panic: The secondary importance of albums has made it almost impossible to acquire nearly any artists' original Motown albums produced in the sixties.
 * Several years ago Universal Music's "Hip-O Select" imprint began a series of box sets (each containing 4 or 5 CDs) devoted to collecting the complete Motown singles alone; there have been more than a dozen such boxes issued, and the series still isn't finished.
 * Dead Horse Genre: The trope page suggests that Motown is the exception to this trope in the manufactured bands category, but there are probably more than a few listeners or critics who dislike the formulaic, factory-like Motown production process.
