As usual, I can't express how grateful I am that you, Andy, Kevin and the team bring us these reissues. I know we fans can be demanding, cranky, obstinate, etc. and you have no control over decisions about release dates, but that all seems to go away once we know for sure it is coming. I hope we get many more Christmases like this.

Also, I would like it on 8 track tape and won't settle for anything less.

[[https://www.dustygroove.com/browse/soul/CD)








One of the best-ever albums by the Supremes – and filled with stone classics, to boot! As the title states, Diana Ross, Mary Wilson and Florence Ballard team up with Holland Dozier Holland – and they really to create the sound that would put them and Motown on the map. A couple of the biggest hits are laid down, but album also features tracks that are arguably even better to hear these days – as they spin out that quintessential Motown sound but aren't hampered by the ubiquity of the oldies radio staples! Titles include "You Keep Me Hanging On", "Love Is Here And Now You're Gone", "I Guess I'll Always Love You", "I'll Turn To Stone", "It's The Same Old Song", "Love Is In Our Hearts", 'There's No Stopping Us Now" and "Love Is Like A Heatwave". © 1996-2018, Dusty Groove, Inc.

I had thought about this earlier. I agree with you, the artwork is not top shelf. It would be great to see the pictures of the Supremes as well as HDH on a new cover of the proposed release.

It is the last Supremes LP to be mixed in both mono and stereo. I have never heard the mono mix of the album although I do know "Love [[Makes Me Do Foolish Things)" has an alternate vocal on the mono album. I have two LP's of Reflections and they're both in stereo. The early 90's CD issue was the stereo mix.

Actually there was a mono mix of the album "Love Child", and the album "Diana Ross & The Supremes Sing & Perform Funny Girl". I believe they were white label DJ Promotional copies. On the mono "Love Child" album there's a mono mix of the alternate version of "I'll Set You Free" that's in stereo on Diana Ross & The Supremes- Supreme Rarities Motown Lost & Found.

I also have a mono version of DIANA ROSS AND THE SUPREMES JOIN THE TEMPTATIONS.

I don't think it is a dj promo as most of those that I have placed a black mono sticker over the STEREO logo. But in this case, MONO is actually printed on the album cover, right above the Motown logo.

Love the US cover of HDH and I wouldn't had it any other way. That picture immortalized them kind of like the one that was done with Hall and Oats. I remember so many folks talking about it.

Always loved this cover. After all it was the 60s but that photo is very iconic. I take it that "Sing Rodgers & Hart" will be bypassed since it was released in its entirety? Be great to have a reissue in digipak but happy to get this. Reflections should be an awesome set also but what about those misc. sets and the live albums? Any input or George if you're watching? Not to mention TCB & GIT.....

One of the mock covers for Sing HDH was the live shot of the girls with their arms in the air at the Fairmont Hotel and "The Supremes Sing Holland-Dozier-Holland" text in the upper left corner. The photo of the girls would be used on the back of the Sing Rodgers & Hart album.

The image looks way better sans grain and less cropped, as above.

I could deal with the grainy image if the background actually were gold, rather than a sandy yellow or... buttermilk yellow as it tends to appear.

A gold, glistening background would look great against the plain black of the image and text.

glad they've added in the longer version of You Can't Hurry Love. I'm assuming this is the version released on the Japanese greatest hits and includes the edited bridge between chorus 2 and verse 2. was odd they didn't include this on A Go Go but better late than never

I'm surprised they aren't including more versions of YKMHO.

original single mix
stereo lp mix
#1 mix - this includes the hard-stop ending and the extra chorus in the middle of the song
The Motown Story mix - this has M and F repeating the chorus at the end

There are a few different versions of the song where the background vocals start in different places. As recorded, M and F sing the chorus at the beginning and then their famous "ooos" but different versions that have been released have them starting at different times.

One of the things I'm most looking forward to from this set is an extended version of "All I Know About You". I love that song so much, but at just over 2 minutes, is barely a song frankly, so to know a longer mix of that is coming is very exciting to me. In fact, all of these extended versions are exciting me. Just a question about these extensions, are they going to feature alternate vocals or the original vocals?

I hate their version of "My Guy". I can't imagine the guys being able to do anything to it to make it sound any better. As for "Going All the Way", I believe it was recorded a few weeks before Florence left. The HDH album came out in January, so the song would probably be on Reflections expanded.

It's Going All The Way would really fall more into the Reflections lp timeline. it was recorded at the same time as In and out of love. But good call on My Guy. that was recorded in Oct 66. I know it was on the pink box set. maybe that's the only version and there wasn't any point of using a slot on these cds when other alt tunes could make the cut

my thoughts exactly. the differences I've been able to identify [[aside from stereo and mono) are:

2. the cut of a chorus repeat just before the bridge [[was included in the No 1 version)
3. the various entrances/exits of F and M - there are several different versions of where they first start their background vocals and if they are repeating the choruses at the end. variations on this part seem to make up the bulk of the different iterations out there. some have the well-known Ooo-ooo-ooo's starting earlier than others.

my thoughts exactly. the differences I've been able to identify [[aside from stereo and mono) are:

1. the hard stop ending
2. the cut of a chorus repeat just before the bridge [[was included in the No 1 version)
3. the various entrances/exits of F and M - there are several different versions of where they first start their background vocals and if they are repeating the choruses at the end. variations on this part seem to make up the bulk of the different iterations out there. some have the well-known Ooo-ooo-ooo's starting earlier than others.

There is an Extended Cool Alternate on the tracklist. I’m sure Andy & George will have all vocals as it was recorded play in the track.

I'm very excited for this release and have my copy on pre-order, as most of us do! I still listen to "Go-Go" with some frequency, well disc 2 anyways.
I believe I've shared this in the past, but one of my treasured Motown items is the original transparency from the Motown art department used to produce the cover for H-D-H. It came from the collection of a Motown employee who worked in the department. It's neat to have a couple items connected with this iconic album. I also have Lamont Dozier's BMI award for "Love Is Here And Now You're Gone", which is also a treasured piece.

Actually, I've heard two different versions of "Se Il Filo Spezzerai". One is Italian vocals all the way through, and the other has the first verse in Italian and the other two in English [[though only single-tracked, not double-tracked as in the original version). It's interesting, but very strange.

The version on my laptop is the one with mixed languages. I have another one somewhere that's Italian all the way through. I wonder what's the story behind doing both Italian and English on the same recording. Perhaps it was a messed up take?

It is the last Supremes LP to be mixed in both mono and stereo. I have never heard the mono mix of the album although I do know "Love [[Makes Me Do Foolish Things)" has an alternate vocal on the mono album. I have two LP's of Reflections and they're both in stereo. The early 90's CD issue was the stereo mix.

I have the UK release of the mono mix [[TML11073) and it's great.

danman869
05-14-2018, 12:29 PM
I also suspect [[but can’t confirm) that the more pre-orders they receive as the release date approaches, the price drops accordingly. Amazon offers a pre-order price guarantee, so even if you originally ordered it at $29.99, it honors the lowest sales price with 24-hours of release and will either charge you less or refund the difference. If this release gets down to $22.99 [[on Amazon) by release day, that’s pretty reasonable for a 2-CD set with deluxe packaging. Factor in free shipping to receive ON release day and it’s worth it...to me, at least.

When "A Go Go" was released I pre-ordered through Amazon on the first day it was announced. When the release date arrived my order went into processing for days and days. Just because i didn't update my shipping to prime or refused to pay a higher shipping cost they made me wait forever. I finally cancelled the order and bought it locally from Rasputin. I will not play those games with Amazon. Did you know they stopped shipping small items that have free shipping unless it equals $25.00 or more. Said it isn't worth it to them.

It includes 28 tracks heard for the first time via updated mixes & alternate versions, as well as a score of electrifying live performances captured at the Copacabana nightclub in New York City in May 1967, the last recorded performance of the original trio: Diana Ross, Mary Wilson and Florence Ballard.

This really is an amazing price considering what you're getting. That's $10.095/disc. I recall paying $8.99 or 9.99 in the early 1990s for each of the original CDs in that series. I have the 1986 version of Supremes Sing HDH. Let's say I paid $8.99 in 1992 dollars. And now the new set is only $10.09 a disc ?!? Amazing!

Press Release from last week

Los Angeles – June 15, 2018 – On June 29, in anticipation of the upcoming 60th anniversary of Motown — a.k.a. Hitsville U.S.A. — and inspired by the album’s own recent 51st anniversary, Motown/UMe is releasing a 51-track, 2-CD Expanded Edition of The Supremes’ tenth studio effort, the chart-topping The Supremes Sing Holland-Dozier-Holland. The collection magnifies the scope of a seminal album that made history, including 27 tracks that are heard here for the first time via a number of updated mixes and alternate versions, as well as electrifying live performances captured at the Copacabana nightclub in New York City in May 1967, the last recorded performance of the original trio: Diana Ross, Mary Wilson and Florence Ballard.

The Supremes Sing Holland-Dozier-Holland, originally released in January 1967, further cemented the group’s chart prowess and vocal harmonizing skills. Inspired by the production team who along with the group had come to define the “Motown Sound” – producers Brian Holland and Lamont Dozier and lyricist Edward Holland Jr. – spawned a pair of universally loved No. 1 singles, the forever-pleading “You Keep Me Hangin’ On” and the heartbreakingly dramatic “Love Is Here and Now You’re Gone.” The LP also went to No. 1 on the Billboard R&B Albums Chart, their fourth album to do so up to that point, while peaking at no. 6 Pop.

Formed in Detroit as The Primettes in 1959, The Supremes were Motown’s most successful act of the 1960s, scoring 12 No. 1 singles. They also continue to reign as America’s most successful vocal group to date. Their influence not only carries on in contemporary R&B, soul and pop, they also helped pave the way for mainstream success by African-American artists across all genres.

The expanded The Supremes Sing Holland-Dozier-Holland includes the original mono album on CD for the first time and the stereo version newly remastered, plus several rare and new mixes created exclusively for this expanded edition, featuring alternate versions and alternate mixes of the hits. Among them: the original film version of the No. 1 hit “The Happening,” which was re-cut for the single version and is now a revised, correct mix and edit of the version that appeared in The Supremes box set; a version of “Love Is Here and Now You’re Gone” with a vocal previously available only on a Japanese Greatest Hits release; a new mix of “You’re Gone [[But Always In My Heart)” that includes previously muted strings; and a rare live concert from the Copacabana in New York, in May 1967, one of the last performances of the group with Florence Ballard. This spirited show, two years on from the Supremes album Live at the Copa, is a masterful blend of Supremes hits and show tunes, the epitome of Motown founder Berry Gordy’s vision for his Detroit-based company.

Also included in the package are two booklets; they are, in addition to the music, a collector’s dream: one, with 32 pages, has a new essay, detailed track annotations, a Supremes timeline, a new interview with Lamont Dozier, and rare and never-before-seen photographs. The other, with 24 pages, recreates The Supremes’ 1967 souvenir tour program.

Fifty-plus years on, The Supremes Sing Holland-Dozier-Holland receives a well-deserved remastered expansion, produced by the team responsible for previous expanded editions, Andrew Skurow and George Solomon, and remastered by Universal Music’s Kevin Reeves. These collections continue to keep us hangin’ on to the most intuitive and most indelible blend of perfect harmonizing and majestic songwriting of the very best artists and creative teams Motown had to offer.

It's not a duet. The original track list posted last month was a bit premature. [[The same thing happened with A Go Go). Strings were added to the Always In My Heart track in 1966 but they didn't use them in the stereo mix when the song appeared on HDH. This is the full version by The Supremes with strings and it's very nice. I'm glad it's here instead of the duet. Also the Can't Help Myself/Where Did Our Love Go mash is gone again. [[it was originally listed on A Go Go). Some clearance issues would have held up the release even longer and we didn't want that to happen! Sorry if this disappoints some but I'm very happy with the final product as it is.

Mine arrives Friday too. Yes, even though I've had it for over 6 months I still buy some. Every sale helps. LOL.
For those who are going to do the digital download, please check to see if the digital booklet is there. It might not be there the first day. [[June 29) But SHOULD be there every day after. So please confirm before you buy. And many thanks to everyone. We hope you love it.

I'm surprised you haven't received notice from importcds yet, they've come through for me every time. No problems ever. I did order mine the first day they were accepting pre-orders, so maybe they are filling orders chronologically. But I definitely won't be the first to receive it because I did not pay for expedited shipping. We'll all have it soon enough, and that will be wonderful!:)

If you are a Facebook follower of the "Diana Ross & The Supremes: Expanded Editions" page, you'll see that they posted what appears to be a picture/likeness of a page from the booklet that tells recording information about the tracks from the original HDH album. As with other edition's booklets, lots of information I didn't know is included.

Yes, hope our fellow fans in the UK don't have to wait much longer. Despite it not being on Amazon UK yet, I believe there are a handful of other sites they can order it from. I can understand that frustration because there are plenty of UK releases I've had to wait weeks for, after the release date.

06-29-2018, 08:17 AM
I am in heaven with the "Remove This Doubt" Extended Mix! The extended background vocal fade out is so wonderful! This has been one of my all-time favourite Supremes songs since I was a kid. Such a beautifully haunting song with the piano and backup vocals. Diana does a stellar job with her performance as well.

I noticed there is a gruffy "HELLO!" that is shouted at the beginning of My Favourite Things [[from the Copa). Is that Flo? lol.

Hmmh.. Spotify identifies track 4 of cd 2, 'You're Gone [[But Always In My Heart)' as by Gladys Knight & the Pips. Obviously someone didn't read the memo concerning the final revision of tracks.

Listening to the extended version of "Going Down" with earbuds...I don't know where I've been all of these years, but I am just noticing some very quiet background "ooohs" throughout the verses, when Diana is singing. I don't know how I never noticed this before? It seems that they aren't present in the mono mix and they're fairly quiet in the stereo version. I think this new extended version makes them pop out a bit more. Nice to discover something new :)

Is it getting a physical UK release? I always end up importing a copy and then the U.K. release arrives. I’m confused why we can buy it digitally but not physically here. I have to get it for completeness although I’m not terribly desperate for this one so can wait a bit if it’s imminent.

Absolutely not. Diana isn't capable of doing a song better than the Tops. The track is rushed and messy.

We mentioned this in the liner notes... We originally planned it for A Go Go. In fact, some early track lists included it but we ran out of room. We had room here on HDH and since it's another HDH hit we included it. I guess anyone can add it to their A Go Go playlist if they want. We did a similar thing with "Ain't No Mountain" including an alternate on the Surrender Expanded. I'm really glad you're enjoying it. Thank you!

This expanded edition is beyond magnificent. Tears are running down my face. That woman and her music meant so much to me growing up. This edition's sound is crystal clear and crisp like I have never heard it before. Diana sounds more magnificent than ever. WOW

Circa 1824
06-29-2018, 05:20 PM
Diana's vocal on the mono version of You Keep Me Hangin' On is possibly the greatest vocal in pop music history. That woman was on fire! She was rocking it! She was sooooo on-point, it was ridiculous. No one could ever better that performance. Impossible.

Circa 1824
06-29-2018, 05:28 PM
Diana's vocals were ALWAYS smack-dab on the beat or a teeny-tiny bit ahead of the beat. That was her style and I loved it. But, on Going Down for the Third Time, at 1:44, she is a tad bit late coming in when she says, "Reach out your hand for me...." I wonder if she momentarily got lost and missed her usual cue? If so, she instantly recovered which demonstrated her innate brilliance.

Said order would be delivered today. Guess what it wasn't. Now they are saying give it till the 3rd. I had this same problem with A Go Go and thought is was because I didn't have Prime. I had to cancel that order and bought it locally at a music store. SMDH

HDH & DMF. Best combination ever!

More Hits was actually the first Supremes Sing HDH album. I've been enjoying both albums today, back to back.

I wouldn't change More Hits. [[It was my first Supremes/Motown album).
For Supremes Sing HDH I would replace It's The Same Old Song and Heat Wave [[and include them on Supremes A' Go Go). I would include Put Yourself In My Place and Baby, I Need Your Lovin' from A' Go Go on Supremes Sing HDH, instead.

I'd send Always In My Heart to Where Did Our Love Go album. Don't know what I would replace it with. Maybe Mother Dear , versions 2 or 3. LOL

I don't blame you. We have Amazon Prime [[not my choice but my partner's choice), so I like the speed factor...but they are the reason we are losing our CD and record stores. They also don't always pack items in the best manner, as my Supremes Sing HDH arrived with a slightly smushed spine. This has happened before with other releases and usually I would take the time to exchange it, but I'm at the point where I can no longer be bothered. Next time I will buy from elsewhere. I try to opt for record stores whenever I can and it doesn't mean going too far out of the way to get there...

Yes, it is true. I have also had negative experiences with Amazon's carriers. With the Sing HDH Expanded, I entered delivery instructions with my order, asking them to leave the package in the enclosed storage doors/area that I have on my porch. However, the carrier left the box standing upright, right in front of my door, so the package was visible from the not-so-far sidewalk. Thankfully it was not stolen during the 7 hours it was sitting there, but I have had a package stolen once before, when it was left in plain sight at my front door.

Amazon seems to be the cheaper and more speedy way to shop these days, but the convenience comes at a price. Not only are traditional stores disappearing, but our mail service in Toronto has also been cut back due to the use of Amazon carriers.

got mine yesterday. and of course, i'm thrilled with it. andy and george did an incredible job and i love it

but of course i'm listening for every little thing, change, difference, error and more. please be aware that my comments are absolutely not meant as malice. i'm must analyzing every element of the set. I love having problems, errors, voices cracking and imperfections.

1. the original album - great job remastering. i've always felt this album was uneven, with some amazing tracks and some weaker ones. Same Old Song and Heatwave frankly should have stayed in the vault. Love is in our hearts and Always in my heart just sound too out of date compared to the newer tracks. i do love the string added to Always though

2. you can't hurry love - this is my one bone to pick with andrew and george. no problem that they've included YCHL here but i would rather have the actual version from the 60s versus an extended mix they created today. there were 3 versions released in 1966 - the mono version, the stereo version and then the version on the reel to reel tape release. this version has the vocals of the stereo version but with the bridge still in tact. the version on L&F is this longer version but with an alt lead vocal. I believe the r2r version was the one on the japanese quad album. these new remixed, extended versions, duets, etc are fine but IMO only once we have the original materials first

3. YKMHO - it would be nice to have a completed unedited version on cd. with the missing extra chorus [[what was used on the #1 set), with the full stop ending and with the full, in tact backing vocals.

4. Copa - if i had to vote, i think the Rooster Tail set is the strongest live set we've received of DMF. of course i love this being the last recorded show of theirs. and i certainly understand diana's voice was affected by the cold. Not a huge fan of the rushed speed on Put On A Happy and YCHL. although i do prefer M and F work on this version of YCHL - they made a slight alteration to how they sing Love Don't Come Easy in the backgrounds and it helps. their pitch is better too. And love the harmonies in Millie/Rose/Mame but Di sounds rough during Rose!!

overall though an A+++

I too would have loved to have the Reel To Reel version of You Can't Hurry Love on cd. I am sure it wont be included in future expanded editions for it would be out of place and I'm not sure what Universal Motown has in store for future Supremes compilations and anthologies if anything at all. It could just simply be a missed opportunity and we may never get it. I would say that if we ever do get another anthology or something that it will be included :-)

I haven't gotten the physical copy yet, but I love, love LOVE what I am hearing! The remix of "Going Down for the Third Time" is HOT and by far my favorite! I love that they've expanded all the fade-outs, particularly on "The Happening," "All I Know About You," "You Keep Me Hangin' On," etc.

They've done a good job of raising of Mary and Flo's vocals so they sound fresh and more mix-forward.

I am blown away by the Copa set. I have had a bootleg copy of it for years, but hearing it in its proper mix is incredibly fresh. The full set also includes a few things missing from the bootleg version. The ladies' harmonies are swell and its once of the best live Supremes recordings ever released.

Now I don't have the booklet, so forgive me if I am missing something, but wasn't "My Guy" also recorded during the HDH sessions, as well? The only release I've seen this on is the 2000 Box Set, and it's quite good, so I'm surprised to see it not included on this release.

Thank you sup_fan! I highly value your assessment of the details. This helps me to make a decision. Can you tell us about any sonic anomalies for the few audiophiles among us?:)

I was happy to see that the booklet contained the Detroit TV Guide's photo of the Supremes in the advertisement for the 1967 Ice Capades special. I cut this picture out of my parent's TV guide that week to include in an art class collage and haven't seen it since! I loved seeing that program on television when it aired. FYI the picture was much larger in the guide.

Absolutely loving the alternate/extended versions on this. "Third Time" has always been one of my favourite Supremes numbers, and to hear this absolutely amazing 4+ minute version is mindblowing. Same for the Hit mix of "The Happening", adding that "once I had a dream to hold..." bridge makes this the ultimate, nay, definitive version.

I can't say enough great things to the guys who made this set possible, except for: Well done, guys, you did it again!

I'm a very happy Supremes fan today.

Absolutely not. Diana isn't capable of doing a song better than the Tops. The track is rushed and messy.

I hear you. I may not be the biggestfourtops fan but I am a fan. I respectfully disagree, however. Diana is capable of doing some songs better than Levi. The Supremes' I'll Turn To Stone is well-produced, appropriately paced [[the Tops' version is a bit languid) and Diana's assured vocal conveys the song's urgency and note of desperation convincingly.


["Ross’ Shake Me, Wake Me is often considered superior to The a Tops and I agree hands down - also Baby I Need Your Loving has a lot of votes."]


I loved the Shake Me, Wake Me mash-up on the A' Go Go expanded set. Ross' delivery conveys a touching strength which complements Levi's more emotional pleading. [[I really appreciated that the Funk Brothers track was used for the mash-up).

No Motown male vocalist can touch Levi Stubbs in my book. Diana Ross is an accomplished vocalist in her own right. She and Levi know what to do with a song. Levi's voice was big and soulful. Diana has a more eclectic Pop sensibility [[no apologies whatsoever). They are both Motown.

Re: Baby, I Need Your Loving: The Four Tops song, absolutely. But I really like and enjoy The Supremes' take on A ' Go Go. I believe Lamont Dozier once said he didn't like to just cover a song. He wanted to bring a new or different perspective.

Now, the Supremes' It's The Same Old Song is rushed and messy.

Pardon me if this question has already been asked. I don't see it.

I was brought up on the Supremes Sing Motown artwork cover and it also has a lot of good memories for me. Is that photo image in the booklet and in a position where I would be able to put it at the front of the CD?

We mentioned this in the liner notes... We originally planned it for A Go Go. In fact, some early track lists included it but we ran out of room. We had room here on HDH and since it's another HDH hit we included it. I guess anyone can add it to their A Go Go playlist if they want. We did a similar thing with "Ain't No Mountain" including an alternate on the Surrender Expanded. I'm really glad you're enjoying it. Thank you!

I really am enjoying it George and thanks for the explanation as I don't yet have the physical release and was listening to the album via Apple Music.

The Supremes Sing Motown is the cover of the booklet. I guess you could slide the whole booklet into a jewel box case and it would be your cover.

I received my copy of Supremes Sing HDH: Deluxe this morning and I'm loving it! It's great to have Lamont Dozier's recollections on the album as well as the informative timeline [[with the tantalizing 'to be continued...' ending the piece). Also great to have the front cover of The Supremes Sing Motown from the British release of the LP as well as the 'Evening With The Supremes' program from 1967. Big thanks to Harry, George, Andy & Kevin for their work in putting this set together.

I'm one of those old heads who still brings a CD boom box to the beach. I played both discs while on the beach yesterday and I gotta day the extended version of "Going Down for the Third Time" is the perfect beach song. Last summer it was the extended mix of "Love Is LIke An Itching". I'm in love with this set. It's very bittersweet knowing this might it from the original trio.

I am just reading through one of my booklets from the HDH Deluxe and am enjoying every minute. One "chicken wing" concern/question. The booklet states that the Supremes made their third "What's My Line" appearance on May 21, 1967. I am a big fan of this classic TV show, and I only believe it was their second appearance. I did some internet research and found a site that listed the celebrity guests who appeared on this show. Along with the May 21 date, the only other date was February 2, 1966. I do know that they appeared on "To Tell the Truth" in 1965 with Berry Gordy, however, I don't know about the other third time they appeared on WML. Loving this collection! Thanks.

A few things to listen for... "You Keep Me Hangin' On," background vocals come in sooner on the mono mix and it has a longer fade. "Turn To Stone" longer mono fade, "Same Old Song" longer fade on the stereo mix. "Going Down For The Third Time," only Mary and Flo on the mono, some additional Andantes vocals on the stereo mix [[The same with "Heat Wave.") "Remove This Doubt," back ups muted for part of the fade on the mono mix. "Love Is In Our Hearts," different lead vocals on the mono and stereo mixes. Anyone else, feel free to jump in.

Hi George,
Although my copy's not been delivered yet [[likely early this week) I've been listening on Spotify & YouTube.
I don't think I'll be much help, since I lack a knowledge of technical musical jargon.
But after ecstatically delighting in the new mixes, I've just moved on to listening to the mono vs. stereo versions on the original lp.
With regards to "Going Down For The Third Time" I do have a question, if my hearing is correct. The mono seems to have some distortion .. but there is a puzzling sound that reminds me of the sound that a train grinding to a sudden halt might make on a metal rail at various points. It seems to be at its strongest at 1:04. and 2:13-14. Do any of our golden ears members or musicologists have any idea what I'm hearing?

Supremes at The Copa 1967
Please.... not a complaint, but I have a couple of recording of The Supremes at the Copa in 1967. There are four tracks missing on the new HDH collection:

- Yesterday
- Michelle
- More
- Let There Be Love

I am curious as to why, particularly in regards to LET THERE BE LOVE.

I can hardly wait to get my copies. I pre-ordered using Amazon Prime and still have not received my cds. Called Amazon and they contacted UPS and were told the package is now considered lost in route and they need to open an investigation on what happened. I now had to re-order and they say it will now be delivered on June 3rd. Just my luck. I know everyone else is enjoying their copies. The pictures and reviews are wonderful. Next time it will be Import Cds not Amazon!!

Amazon didn't lose your package, though. It's UPS. UPS has this problem all too frequently. They're horrible.

Regarding purchase point, I like to use Dusty Groove as much as possible. I find them quick and efficient and their site offers lots of titles. Buying from DG is my way of keeping smaller vendors in business.

Good Morning All,

This project was released on Friday, June 29, 2018. It is now Monday, July 2, 2018 and the Digital Booklet still isn't available on Apple Music or Amazon Music for download. Does anyone know if or when it will be available? I have friends who are interested in downloading this set, but are a bit hesitant as the digital booklet is not yet available.

hehehe more than welcome soul ;) i was going to provide a detailed, measure by measure analysis of each song. or equally as useful would be to copy everyone and simply post "yeah i got it in the mail!!" As treasured as those personal announcements are, i figured i'd share my thoughts and comments, see who agrees or disagrees and hopefully spark a dialog among the fans

George,
My copy arrived in today's mail. I've been reading the booklets- great stuff!
However I do have a question: Mention was made of Mary & Flo recording vocals [[background, I presume) for "I'm Late" on Jan. 28, 1967. If the Disney sessions are part of a future expanded edition [[Reflections or other), is it likely that the song will be included, even though it appears that Diana did not record her vocals to the track? Or did she record them at some point after the Supremes Sing HDH timeline ends?

I'm curious, was an alternate take ever found in the vaults of 'There's No Stopping Us Now' with a better sax break? I'm wondering what the story is behind the awful sax 'squeak' in that song, and why it was left in the final version.
