It´s 45 release/chart action ratio was 75%, an unheard of amount for singles that would hit the top 100 charts.
This is also the year where Stevie Wonder would continue his hitmaking streak, as with Smokey Robinson & The Miracles, where both released superb albums that year as well, but single-wise, superb.
1968 also marked a year where The Supremes began to have a problems going in the Top 10. Among the obvious, there were new artists that tried, but didn´t make their mark, like Chuck Jackson, one of my favorite artists, but was under-utilized at Motown.
Again, the quality is superb, and again, if you have purchased the previous volumes, it would make perfect sense to pick this one up, before they are all gone, as these are limited in pressing.. And summed up by saying Another don´t miss package!!. Currently The Complete Motown Singles, Vol. 8: 1968 has an overall rating of 10 over 10.
