The Supremes Reissues

[Motown Eddie]

This topic has been touched on here and there over the years, but I am wondering how many of us would think and or agree that if we just did the stereo/mono on a single disc [[mono single mixes for later albums 68-69) that we would have all if not most of the albums by DRATS reissued on cd from Universal? I know that Harry, Andy, George and Kevin's heart are in the right place and they have done a phenomenal job on these 2 disc sets but as long as it has take to get these out is honestly, plain ridiculous. I think that if they had pursued the other option universal may have agreed to more releases a year and we may well be done with them. Then, I think the guys should have taken the unreleased mixes from the Expanded Editions and Lost and Found and tried to combine them into a box set similar to the 2000 box set [[4-5 discs) with a different color and in limited quantities. Any thoughts?

I don't think that would've made any difference to UMe if Motown decided to do just do single disc mono/stereo reissues on The Supremes. As other posters have mentioned, they sadly consider music of the Classic Hitsville Era old hat and they're simply don't feel they're going to make a lot of money on it. Let's face it, we were very lucky to see the deluxe editions of Supremes A Go-Go & Sing H-D-H after Universal closed the Hip-O Select label [[as always, thanks to Harry, George & Kevin for their efforts).

I'm very grateful.
