The Don's selections cross time, space and genre and include Crucial Vinyl from Motown.

Each week, as well as picking key new releases and classics from the UK, USA, Jamaica and beyond, Don highlights a cherished album from his own collection. He explains why it means so much to him and features three key tracks. This week it's Motown Chartbusters Volume 3 released in 1969.

Don says, "I'd normally avoid picking compilations as 'Crucial Vinyl' because it feels a bit like cheating, but this is daddy of a comp. In my early teens it sat alongside 'Tighten Up' Volume 2 as part of the soundtrack to the emerging skinhead scene, and I'm talking about the fashion version not the fascist version. This must-have selection features the best of the Tamla Motown stable at the height of their careers.
