    The Supremes - The Scherrie Payne Years

    I guess the old threads are gone so here I am with the question of the year...what is happening with this set? Andy, can you enlighten us?

    I prefer not knowing the proposed release dates for these things, since we know there's always that possibility that it will be delayed or pushed back...I'm sure it's on the way. They're doing their best. We just gotta be patient. We've waited this long, another few months won't make much of a difference...

    The Final Sessions

    On a positive note, the delays have allowed us to find additional rarities that wouldn't have been on the collection if it came out a year ago. It's looking really good!

    George

    Will this be only Motown product or is it including the Invictus period?

    BTW, are you gonna do any more of those remixes....I play your "Nowhere to Run" more than the original now!

    There's an interesting feature on Scherrie Payne in the Autumn 2010 issue of "In the Basement".

    This is good news. I'm looking forward to the release but not in a real hurry for it

    I'm more interested in The Marvelettes Volume 2.

    Besides there are other Motown and soul related CDs being released here and there to keep me and my credit card busy.

    George had mentioned some other rare songs were found, does anyone know what could be left for this set?

    I know I have said this before but [[and I mean this very sincerely) your best bet is to ask Harry Weinger direct for this kind of information. People that work in the background are there because they are respectful and loyal to the cause

    Harry puts out an open email address for this kind of correspondence, he's really a good guy and he won't be angry with you for asking. In fact, he'll appreciate that you are interested. Just understand that if the release is not ready, then it's a case of waiting until it is.

    I will accept that you might not be happy with what I say but I hope you understand that I am trying to be helpful.

    John

    Hi John,
    Thank you, I do appreciate your input. I guess I've become too excited waiting for this release that I keep asking questions. I am aware of some of the unreleased material that it's hard to imagine what else they may have found.

    Regards,
    Nathan

    Try to think of it as a way of them keeping your interest intact.

    So go on, ask Harry direct and see what he says. At least you know that its come from the right source!

    I think I advised aaron to do this on the old SDF site.

    Hey all,
    I recieved an email from Harry Weinger yesterday and he stated that they were putting the final touches on the set and it would be out by the end of the year. Great news!

    Hi all, I'm glad Harry responded. It's always appropriate to email him. But John, "People that work in the background are there because they are respectful and loyal to the cause." Gee, I never considered the Producer and Associate Producer as being "in the background." Now George and I know how Mary and Flo felt! LOL.

    Okay, a quick list to answer:
    1. No, this is a Supremes collection, so there won't be any Invictus material on there.
    2. The set is wonderful.
    3. Not sure of the release date, but it is actually closer than further.
    4. Lots of surprises.
    5. If I tell you what they are, they won't be surprises. But yes they are... Supreme.

    OMG, where did you pop up from?

    Sweetness in life, perish the thought that I should ever expect the producer and associate producer to be backgrounds and never leads. Wash my mouth out with bleach and disinfectant should those words be uttered from my lips!

    However, should you ever want to step into THOSE high heels, just remember what happened in 1967!

    Meowwww!

    In all seriousness though, I didn't meant to make any person feel uncomfortable and I apologise if that came across in my posting. I believe that respect and loyalty are not only between manager and team but also between team and manager and team and team. Another SDF thread has gone on to bashing Stevie for problems with TCMS on the basis of a statement from one poster who hasn't yet been able to post a response for creedence on their source. Is that fair on Stevie? Probably not at this stage. Over the years, I have found that the Supremes get the most "rumours" and here on SDF, we are aware that there is an access point for OFFICIAL information and I try to urge people to ask the reliable source rather then rely on "I heard that...".


    Mind you, I would still check underneath the bed when you go to sleep at nights! lol

    I got the "impression" from past posts on the old SDF forum that the set was not only the Supremes Motown era but also solo Scherrie, Susaye and Scherrie. Since UMe have Scherrie's Invictus recordings, I was wondering whether that era might be included too. I happen to rate Scherrie very highly as my number 2 of all time and I'm keen to hear Scherrie sing stuff like Want Ads, Band Of Gold which she apparently did. I went off on a tangent but it's ok, I'm been put right now.

    I am sooooo excited about this release. I'm sure everyone will be delighted. OK, I know there is always someone who will not get what they want, but the guys [[I love you guys!) have done justice to the ladies and the fans. Surprises galore! and all so cute! My lips are sealed, but I, for one, am so thrilled that this has finally come around. Doing the happy dance! Keep smiling!

    I know it's all been said before, but I don't think enough credit is given for all of the high energy that HW, AS and GS [[and 11 others) put into these releases.

    I just like to make sure everyone gets their props.

    Hello all,

    John, I hope you know I was only teasing. I have nothing but Supreme love for you

    Aaron, wish we could tell you how much sooner than later. I don't actually know. But, we've mixed and mastered it, and they are designing it now. Universal will give it a release date and official press release when it's about ready to come out.

    Susaye, MaryBrewster and all, thank you for the kind words. This thing is going to be fabulous. I'm not saying this to "hype" it, I'm just incredibly proud of how it is shaping up. We've had so many delays, but we're in the home stretch of one of the best [[and most challenging) projects I've ever worked on! Stay tuned...

    While we're handing out kudos. A special thank you to Mary, Scherrie, Cindy and Susaye for their willingness to share memories and photographs. How wonderful that these four ladies embrace their legacy and are happy to participate, asking nothing in return. You are all truly supreme!

    Thanks, Andy... when you feel you can, we'd like to hear the "challenges" that this set represented... I love hearing about how things get done behind the scenes, and what types of voodoo need to be employed to come up with something good.

    This music from the final chapter of the Supremes is wonderful; I've grown to appreciate it more over time. The performances and productions were top-notch.
    Times and the music business were very different by the mid-70's and these recordings unfortunately did not get the chance they deserved; many unsold sealed copies of the original Lps remain.
    It's wonderful that these sides are getting loving attention now and will be available to all who have appreciated or just recently discovered them.
    Thank you to everyone involved and all the fans who have begged for this release. I am anxiously awaiting the release day!

    I wonder if there's any chance all four of these legendary ladies will meet to promote this set? It certainly has the fans buzzing.....

    Probably was posted before but new to me! Enjoy.

    Sherrie Payne was indeed one of the best singers in The Supremes - we can only hope there will be some new gems from THE SHERRIE PAYNE YEARS.

    Is a tweet simply a picture or is their dialogue too?
