Rick James - The Complete Motown Albums 9CD (2014) [Box Set]

Released the same day as Rick James' autobiography, Glow, was published, The Complete Motown Albums indeed contains the musician's nine albums for Motown — technically its Gordy subsidiary — from 1978's Come Get It! through 1986's The Flag. Perhaps due in part to the reissue of several James albums during the preceding several years, this set was available as a digital download only. It includes not only the albums in their entirety, but many bonus tracks — extended and instrumental versions from the original 12" releases, along with new mixes of "You and I" from John Morales. Each album was also given a separate digital release, though some of the bonus tracks found here were not included with them. For instance, Glow here is enhanced with 11 bonus tracks while the individual version has only five. Regardless, this should, at last, keep James' Gordy releases in easily obtained circulation for perpetuity.
