Really looking forward to this release! Here's hoping for a track listing very soon.
You Can't Hurry A Go-Go!
I got an email from Amazon this morning that the A GO GO release date has already been rescheduled for April 28th. Remember when in was expected in December 2016 but then was delayed "because of unexpected circumstances?" Remember when in early 2016 ......... and, oh yes, remember when in 2015..... :-)
We may as well jus smile!
Just got an email saying delivery date has changed. And sure enough, according to Amazon.com, now the release date has been shifted a week later to April 28. Annoying.
Got my pre-order in for this. I'm excited as I also found, this weekend, The Temptations 50th Anniversary Singles Collection. That was the one of the four that I didn't buy initially. Amoeba in Los Angeles had it was a bit cheaper so I splurged. Those sets are gorgeous! So interesting to play them through and hear the growth in each group.
Any word from Harry, Andy or George on the April release?

With all of the posted remarks, cryptic clues and delays for well over two years, I would think that inside sources are best making no comments any longer. I know that they are fine fellows, but a ton of disappointed fans have accumulated because of well-intended hints.
Track list now up on Amazon US.
Well what I can see is "disc 1" having 30 tracks which I'm assuming is really disc 2 and disc 1 would contain both stereo and mono versions of "A Go Go". If that is so then 54 tracks is one heck of a track list. Plus 22 page booklet. Yum!

well, I TOLD you all it would be physical product!!! lol... just took a while..now buy it and share the news/promote and maybe they can get to work on Holland/Dozier/Holland..
and I HOPE they make a point of getting this into retail stores..I'm going to Barnes &Noble today to find out!!
I am puzzled [[once again by Universal/Motown. After nearly three years "in the works," how does an incorrect track listing get released?
The version of track #21 issued on the Reflections album featured Mary & Cindy on backgrounds. As it's merely listed as an alternate mix here, that would mean that there would have had to have been a version with Flo not just recorded but officially released [[which I've never heard, seen or read about)
It makes no sense at all to include a track [[alternate mix) featuring Cindy on this release- This must be one of the items listed incorrectly... but does this mean that Andy & George have done some preliminary work on Reflections Expanded Edition and that Supremes Sing HDH is close to completion?
If the track list is not the correct one then I wonder who came up with this one?

I am totally lost!
I haven't ordered from Amazon yet, because I'm wondering since Universal is doing this themselves, if it will be for sale on Universal's website [[Udiscovermusic) before Amazon. Similar to what they used to do with Hip-O Select. Would also be interested to hear if they limiting this to a certain number or pressings ?
I don't know if Udiscovermusic will have it on sale sooner than Amazon, but I can guarantee that it will be a limited number of copies. They don't do any of these as full releases anymore, all quantities are limited. And, I'm glad to hear that is not the final listings of songs. I was told about something that doesn't appear on that list and I hope it makes it onto the cd. If it does it will be fabulous!
I only see track listing for disc 1 ?? anyone see disc 2
Strange. Now we get the wrong track listings.lol.
Funny. Kinda. Anyway glad it's coming sometime.
Thanks Andy.. George and and everyone who put this together
Since What The World Needs Now Is Love was recorded in 1966 It would have to be Florence on the Reflections released version. I have learned to just listen very close and you will hear who is actually in the background. I hope when the CD is released everything will be clear. I know in some cases one of The Andantes may say they recorded a song and I believe that is accurate but It would Stevie Wonder's or Barbara Mason's versions. Even though Mary and Florence [[and Cindy later) have beautiful harmony you can usually hear them sing in unison and you will hear each lady. And as a rule I have always believed TWO cannot sound like THREE. So that is how I realize when it is The Andantes on songs such as Put Yourself In My Place & It's The Same Old Song. There are other songs that I really don't think they are singing on but I don't want to upset anyone but, Heat Wave sounds nothing like The Supremes to me.
It looks like this is at least the track listing for CD2, because I don't see the original album tracks on this one. I think CD1 will include Stereo/Mono version of the LP. Isn't that when they've done on all the earlier releases? I like the bonus tracks here.

More confused
Yes Luke it's a bit that way.
At its simplest, "The Supremes A Go Go" expanded set is on its way - currently scheduled for a 28th April release. It will be a 2 disc set with a lovely booklet, and can be pre-ordered on Amazon US for $29.98 if you are in the USA. Motown have yet to confirm what the final track list will be for the 2 discs. It is not yet advertised on Amazon UK.
Yeah I had a feeling that track listing [[or what was listed as one disc) was a bit too good to be true. I would think we should notify Amazon that the listing isn't correct. There is an option to report any inaccuracies. Waiting impatiently for the true listing. Hopefully it will be forthcoming sooner rather than later. :)
Very strange indeed! Today's MusicTap has a blurb about the 50th Anniversary release of Supremes A Go Go, mentions outtakes and rare mixes but only lists the contents of Disc 1- the original album in mono & stereo.

GOOD NEWS. I just checked Amazon USA to see if the songs from the second disc were listed. They were not, however, I discovered that the $29.98 price has been lowered to $25.64 with the pre-order price guarantee.
Stay tuned.
Thanks for keeping an eye, Woodward! The best thing about the dropping price [[so glad for Amazon's Pre-Order Price Guarantee!) is that the less expensive it gets, THE MORE COPIES OF IT ALL OF US CAN BUY.
I'm hoping this can be the set to show Universal that we want more of them by making it sell in BIG numbers! Let's make it happen, SDFers! Buy two copies--heck, buy THREE copies!
