Greatest Hits: From The Beginning by The Miracles - DeepRiffs

COMPILATION

A double-LP of 22 of their best early songs that would rank higher if there weren't other far more comprehensive greatest-hits collections available. This one only covers pre-1965 material, but what's here is certainly fine, and not every track commonly appears on other best-of compilations. The exquisite mid-tempo ballad "Would I Love You" is the most notable of the lesser-known tunes. ~ Richie Unterberger
