The Supremes: Pure Gold

[longtimefan]

One of The Supremes 60's albums that was announced but subsequently canceled was titled PURE GOLD. Does anyone know the history of this proposed project and why it was canceled? Also, what tracks were scheduled for this release? Was the cover art work ever discovered? Thanks!

I think it would have been their first greatest hits collection had it been released.

yes I think its release would have been 1966 with the hits up to that point, ill try and find the photo for the album

Does anyone know why the release was cancelled? Back story?

It was to coincide with the initial launch of Diana Ross as a soloist in late 1966. Gordy thought better and held off on that decision and the lp postponed.
