The full LP is supposed to be released digitally on April 16. Although I have seen various posts from fans today on Facebook, noting that the single was pulled from iTunes and Amazon. Hopefully it will be reposted soon.Quote:

Very excited about this release.....on physical form. I wonder what other "expanded" gens will be included? I almost wish this was a MARY WILSON set, versus a "Mary Wilson" Expanded. I wonder how well her "new" music will fit in with everything else?
I'd love to see this include "Send Him To Me", "If You Let Me" and "Preacher Man".
Trust me though, I'll be more than pleased with whatever is included.
Amen to that - green border ruins it!Quote:

The entire album is now available [on Apple Music]. I'm enjoying the hell out of it at the moment. Go Mary!
Thanks to George, Andy and everyone involved at Universal. It sounds sooooo good.
My apologies John. I disagreed with your opinion. For some reason [[because I'm stupid) the way I read your comment was Mary's unreleased leads should've been placed on her EE. I don't like that idea. But I do think the EE would've been more fitting to include Mary's released leads with the Supremes, particularly from the 70s.Quote:

So happy! Looking forward to the eventual CD release as well :)
It's like buttah. I'm verklempt.Quote:

Downloaded today and played 4 times. Sound is so clear.
so nice to have a non bootleg copy.
and high quality Gus tracks too.
shame there no digital booklet.. I’m hoping there’s a booklet when the cd comes [[any news when?)
thank you Andy S and UME
The album got a mention on a UMe marketing email I got this afternoon. Probably more publicity than Motown gave it when initially released!!! I was thrilled to see it on mass marketing.

Today's release may also be enjoyed on YouTube at Mary Wilson- Topic
Great article about "Mary Wilson: Expanded Edition" being released and includes a tiny, tiny glimmer of hope for more Supremes music coming...someday...in Variety.
https://variety.com/2021/music/news/...lo-1234953652/
I am so thrilled that at LONG LAST we have finally received an official digital release of these tracks. That being said: I am disappointed in the audio quality of "You dance my heart.." The quality is basically the same as I got with the bootleg I purchased 20+ years ago. Mary's vocals need to be brought forward! I hope we get to hear a "cleaner, brighter" version someday.
Great article. Thanks for posting.Quote:

Rumour has it that March 2035 has been pencilled in as a tentative release date. I can’t wait...:eek:Quote:

I'm really impressed with the audio quality of this release! I've never heard a clean copy of the '79 album and have a new appreciation for it. The Gus Dudgeon tracks are stellar. I wonder if "Red Hot" would have done any better if they had used the "B-Side" version as the single mix. I've always loved the 12" version.
They did right by Mary. I honestly never thought I would see any of these tracks remastered. Ever. A physical released with booklet would have been ideal, but what really matters to me is the audio quality.
Downloaded the album yesterday. Didn't get a chance to listen until today. I echo Thornton's post. My experience with Mary's debut album was via a rip someone did for me years ago. Having this clean copy allows my ears a new listen, as if it's the first time I've ever heard the album. Some opinions have remained the same, while others have changed. Thinking about doing a separate thread. The forum has been flooded with Diana threads. Time to give Mary some more attention.
Also great to have a non-bootleg copy of the GD tracks. The fellas have given us another winner here. Mary would have loved this.
I really liked it. I especially liked the Gus Dungeon tracks. Its a shame they didn't do a whole album. Listening to it made me realize it still doesn't feel real for me that Mary is gone. Its so weird. I really wish she was here to promote this release and I know she would have promoted the hell out of it.
Got my copy.loved green river
Was hoping other MW tracks may make it such as U, Turn Around .
Maybe for digital release.
Have to find my copy of turn around
Great job Andy and team
Yes, I've been meaning to comment that the album was missing the UK Single Edit of "Pick Up The Pieces". The B side was the album version of "You're The Light...". Yes, it does not show on either amazonUK or itunesUK download. Presumably it would feature on both. I am trying to hold out for the CD!
I think I had heard all of the Gus Dungeon track before except this one. It reminds me of Tina Turner in places. I very much enjoy all those Dungeon tracks.Quote:
