Product Description

This exclusive Select edition of this album includes an incredible 14 bonus tracks, more than the original LP, and heres how: weve added two more songs from the original LP sessions, including People, featuring Flo, and I Am Woman, You Are Man, different than the later version released on The Supremes Sing And Perform Funny Girl; three songs from another legendary unreleased album, A Tribute to The Girls, which was discovered to be unfinished; an outtake from I Hear A Symphony, All Of A Sudden My Heart Sings, originally from the film Anchors Aweigh, here produced by Holland-Dozier, who also produced seven of the eight tracks included here from another unfinished unreleased album, The Supremes And The Motown Sound: From Broadway To Hollywood. Total: nearly 78 minutes of music from the Motown archives, 26 tracks, only 9 of which have been issued and spread around various collections before. All of this beautiful music comes in a deluxe digipak, with a new essay, detailed recording annotations and many rare and never-before-seen photos of the one and only Supremes.

Customer Reviews

Thought you've heard it all?
Thought you've heard it all from The Supremes? I thought I heard enough standards from them on the Sings Rodgers and Hart album. But I was very suprised and delighted to hear this unreleased album. It is The Supremes at their very best. I was suprised Motown didn't release this as planned. Wow, it would have been something in their heyday. They share harmonies as well as compliments to each other's vocal talent. Any real die hard Supreme fan would love to own this one.

A lost treasure from the original DREAMGIRLS
Listening to this is just a delight. The girls sound and harmonize beautifully together as they did in those early days and you can tell these are some of the earlier sessions as they sound tight and solid. Many little perks in this collection. Version 2 of " Fancy Passes" is wonderful and sweet and has Diana interacting with Flo and Mary much like " Back in my arms again". " Our Day will come" has Mary on lead and " People" with Flo in the lead. The version of " All of a sudden" is very good and impressive. Many of the songs are from the live at the Copa album only these are studio versions. If you are a Supremes fan, then this is a must have. Small dissapointment here is the cover. Of all the photos there are of the Supremes a pose from the " Symphony" album was used, in fact it's almost identical to the " Sypmphony" album cover. FABULOUS booklet inside. All in all put together very well.

what a find!
i bought this re-release on a lark. and i am so happy i did. i never knew there was a 'lost' album of the supremes. i was positive that most unreleased material had found its way out on box sets or as bonus tracks on album re-released to cd.

i am most happy for one track and one track only. 'our day will come' features mary wilson on lead vocals. that smoky, silky voice is one of the most seductive in 1960s soul music next to dusty springfield, mary wells and that woman that sang leads for sergio mendes. she has always had the uncanny ability to make me feel like she is singing just for me and i treasure that aspect of her style the most.

that said, i wish there were one more track that featured florence ballard besides 'people'. i can still hear that and think that berry gordy was just way too out of line not to let her sing leads more often. where wilson was chiffon velvet, ballard was fire and diamonds. it would have been great to rest the silvery tingle of diana ross more often. as least the re-releases let that happen. sadly, there will come a time when everything is out and there's no more to look forward to.

let's hope they spread it all out over a 50-year period.
