Once again, it’s a record that has almost nothing to do with Motown in 1965, but it’s done with no little skill and ends up getting under my skin more than I’d anticipated or wanted. Good show, in every sense. (6)
It doesn’t entirely “fit” the musical narrative of Motown ’65 (though it fits the commercial behemoth narrative very well indeed), but there are some strikingly modern touches mixed in with the stagey setting, and I’m surprised it didn’t find more favour with buyers; it’s absolutely fine by me. (7)
