Album Review

When it was released in 1974, Motown's Diana Ross and the Supremes' Anthology was the most comprehensive compilation yet issued on one of the 1960s' most popular groups. A 35-track triple LP, it superseded the 1967 double-LP Greatest Hits, including 17 of that album's 20 tracks, as well as the 1969 Greatest Hits, Vol. 3, all of which was repeated. All 27 of the Supremes' R&B hits between 1962 and 1969 were featured, as well as 28 of their 30 pop chart entries. That represented a formidable chunk of the decade's biggest hits, among them the chart-toppers "Where Did Our Love Go," "Baby Love," "Come See About Me," "Stop! In the Name of Love," "Back in My Arms Again," "I Hear a Symphony," "You Can't Hurry Love," "You Keep Me Hangin' On," "Love Is Here and Now You're Gone," "The Happening," "Love Child," and "Someday We'll Be Together." The lengthy album also found space for some of the group's musical experiments, devoting a five-song side, dubbed "Versatile Stylists," to material culled from the albums A Bit of Liverpool, The Supremes Sing Country Western & Pop, We Remember Sam Cooke, The Supremes Sing Rodgers & Hart, and Diana Ross and the Supremes Sing and Perform "Funny Girl." They made for an interesting interlude, but the heart of the matter remained the Supremes' brilliant interpretations of the Holland-Dozier-Holland hits of the mid-'60s, which were all here. (Motown continually revised its Anthology series over the years, putting out successive Diana Ross and the Supremes editions in 1986, 1995, and 2001 that expanded upon and altered the conception of the original. These albums have their own listings.)

Customer Reviews

The Ultimate Collection: GET IT NOW!!

Wow! I remember getting this album on tape when it first came out (on TAPE- can you believe it?!), and it was the ONLY tape I listened to for about two years- and then my little brother learned how scissors worked . . .and I still haven't forgiven him for that (and I don't really plan on it). This is an AWESOMELY-AWESOME album! It is easily the best Supremes compilation available! It has got all of the standard Supremes and Diana Ross & The Supremes hits (such as "Stop! In the Name of Love" and "You Can't Hurry Love"), as well as a bunch of lesser known songs that deserved a lot more attention than they got (like "Forever Came Today", "No Matter What Sign You Are", and "The Composer"). This album is a priceless treasure, and should be purchased in its entirety immediately! One cannot hope to complete a Supremes album collection without this one. It is probably the only compilation album (by anyone) that I've ever come across that doesn't seem to be missing anything. It's got everything a Supremes compilation should have, and about eight songs more. What else could you possibly want?!

The Supremes original SINGLES!

This is different form most of the Supremes compilations out there in that the tracks on this album are comprised of the original single versions of these songs. For those of you who are used to always hearing the stereo versions of the songs on this album, you're in for a treat when you hear these original MONO versions! These songs are completely diffferent takes of the stereo versions. You'll hear a noticable difference, especially in songs such as "Love Child". The music literally EXPLODES out of the speakers! These mono versions of these familiar songs are far superior to the lifeless stereo versions that appear on most Supremes compilations. You'll love it or hate it, but vive la difference! Oh, and a big SHOUT OUT to little Carlo and the rest of the VMF farties! You girls are swathed in a cloak of self-important Supremeishness! You GO girls! Hhahahahahahahah!!!

Supreme Early Music from Diana Ross!

This is a wonderful album loaded with Motown classics. Many of these songs, from the 1960s, are more than 40 years old now; but, most of them still sound fresh (and bouncy) today. The fabulous Diana Ross (one of my all-time favorite performers) sings lead on all of the songs here. This package includes all 12 of Diana Ross & the Supremes' number one hits. It also includes many other, lesser known, chart hits that still managed to make the Top 10 (on the charts) in their hey day. One of my all-time favorites is the wonderful "The Composer". Other good tunes, that did'nt make it to Number 1 but are worth checking out, include "I'm Living In Shame", "In and Out of Love", "Love is Like an Itching in My Heart" (I downloaded this one), and "Forever Came Today". One other strong point about this collection is that the sound jumps out at you! Unlike some older albums and music where the music volume is very low and listeners (like me) have to keep turning up the volume on their iPods, the sound of this Diana Ross & the Supremes collection literally splashes all around the listener. For Diana Ross fans, Supremes fans, Motown music fans, or just pop music fans in general--I would strongly recommend purchasing this music. It's a SUPREME treat!

As a solo artist, Diana Ross is one of the most successful female singers of the rock era. If you factor in her work as the lead singer of the Supremes in the 1960s, she may be the most successful. With her friends Mary Wilson, Florence Ballard, and Barbara Martin, Ross formed the Primettes vocal quartet in 1959. In 1960, they were signed to local Motown Records, changing their name to the Supremes in 1961. Martin then left, and the group continued as a trio. Over the next eight years, the Supremes...
