It would be nice if Florence's family received some of the proceeds from this release.
The different versions put together. https://youtu.be/N3wgvwBOpFo
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.
Amazon just moved HDH release date to July 6th
I just checked my order and the release date is now June 29th. I guess Motown/UMe is keepin' us "hanging on".
It might also move back. I’ve had that happen frequently too.
I don't recall.what the original price was on Amazon [[was it $29.99?); it's now down to $25.64.
Usually after a few months after the releasedate the price drops 25-50 %.
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.
I always use Amazon..I'm a 'prime' member [[primette?), the service is great and the industry always looks at the Amazon sales to see what's happening so it bodes better for more future releases
Currently £19.15 on UK Amazon
Oh—and, once again, I encourage everyone who is enjoying these releases [[specifically on The Supremes) should buy AT LEAST two copies of the set if not more. Keep one in the house and one in the car...keep one sealed for the shelf and one to open and play...one to keep and one to give to a friend...or one to keep and one to sell for a profit in 5 years when it’s out of print! Regardless, sales is the only way we continue to see releases by The Supremes and our other favorite Motown artists. My two copies are pre-ordered!
Didn’t a go go sell out?

$19 no postage
I use them all of the time.
Now Amazon says it will be released June 29.
It's worth it to me to pay the few extra $$$ and buy through Amazon. It's fun to watch how it sells and where it ranks. $29, $26: it's a steal either way to have this expanded and in physical form.
I buy through import because they make it easier for those with low incomes to be able to buy these. Amazon is amazing, but they destroyed the record industry retailwise with their pricing and lack of tax ramifications. No more stored to browse through in malls, no more promo materials ........ I buy locally when I can or at import for price - then amazon as a last resort.
