    This was when the newly re-formed group with Cindy and Scherrie was only a few months old and were booked as the opening act for Joel Grey in Vegas. Cindy was supposed to sing You Are The Sunshine...

    Yes, Motown was considering issuing Tossin' and Turnin' as a single in early 1973. But a singer named Bunny Sigler released it instead.

    Motown was all but certain that no tracks on the Webb lp...

    Somehow I can hear Jean doing Diana's songs, but I just can not hear Diana doing Up The Ladder or Stoned Love
  4. That explains why I didn't think it was Mary and...

    That explains why I didn't think it was Mary and Cindy. The backing vocals on both the stereo and mono mixes are mixed way down. I do love the part where they harmonize over an instrumental break...

    The Webb lp didn't come out til months later. Automatically Sunshine was the current single and it was stalling on the charts and they could have given it some gas here, but they did Tossin' instead

    I have always loved I'm Gonna Make It, it's my fav on the lp. At the time I might have thought it would be a single, and I hoped for it, but listening with adult ears on something better than a...

    That part of their history happened almost 2 years after they formed

    Both men came into the situation knowing this was Otis's group. Many members were fired after a year or even less after they realized they were doing far more work than Otis and making far less...

    I'll pass on this too, never cared for covers by other artists at other labels. Face it, Vanilla Fudge's You Keep Me Hangin' On was hardly the way HDH envisioned this song. I noticed too Phil...

    I feel certain, and Diana said this in an interview many years ago, that had there been no Supremes she would have gone into textiles and clothes design. Remember she chose and designed all the...

    This sounds like the Invictus box set issued about 10 years ago simply repackaged. Maybe one of two new things [[Eloise Laws). I'll pass.

    Someday We'll Be Together was cut earlier in 1969. Gordy changed his mind every other day it seems on when to pull Diana out. He thought No Matter What Sign You Are was going to be a huge hit [[can...

    What really worked against the Touch lp was that, at Jean's urging, Mary Wilson demanded an accounting of her royalties with Motown shortly before the lp's release. This did not sit well with the...

    It never charted. Was just a catalog release for the average record buyer. In 1965 Gordy flooded us with Supremes, it was hard to keep up

    I would not label the Touch lp as a failure; it turned a profit, just not a big one. Even Jimmy Webb turned a little of a profit.

    I'd say the only Supremes lps that lost money would Meet The...

    Obviously I don't agree with this assessment. To me this is one of the five best studio Supremes lps.

    My top 5 best Supremes studio lps are:

    1. More Hits
    2 Touch
    3 Love Child
    4 Right On

    They can call it anything they want to call it but these were mono recordings. Even the Paris live set that was "channeled" into stereo sounds like nothing more than a reverb. I have equipment...

    All those gatefolds were ripoffs. You bought this assuming inside the fold were more photos or bio info. These three had nothing.

    I grew to love Time Bomb, but it wasn't pop at all, a very soulful record which is why pop stations stayed away. Also, as I said, Invictus switched distributors from Capitol to Buddha as I recall...

    I was confused about the title as well. Didn't help sell the album for sure. The only explanation I have was this was during the space age where "contact" meant blast off as I recall

    Forgot The Supremes I'm Gonna Let My Heart Do The Walking. The single version edited this awkwardly so that it sounds like a record skip. If Motown had issued the full version as a single, it only...
