The Spinners: The Chrome Collection (Atlantic/WEA).
UNLIKE MANY BOX SETS THAT FUNCTION as easy-moneymaking nostalgia pieces, the thoughtfully compiled Chrome Collection stands out as a bridge built between several eras in the history of rhythm and blues that served as a seldom-acknowledged template of the pop music that followed.

Created with the input of the group members, the three-CD, 63-song compilation covers material from their beginnings as a chart-successful, yet promotionally neglected group in the Motown Records production mill of the early 1960s through their rocket ride to mainstream stardom on Atlantic Records that included 11 Top 20 Pop and 21 Top 20 R & B hits between 1972 and 1984.
Undergirded by the layered orchestral arrangements of the classically trained super-producer Thom Bell (The Delfonics and The Stylistics, among many others), The Spinners ironically function as a symbol of the race-music-resistant product of Berry Gordy's 1960s Motown successes--a post-civil rights movement soundtrack for AM radio with funky bass and percussive underpinnings grounded by the smooth player/gospel wail interplay of leads Bobbie Smith and Phillippe Wynne.
