There must have been a memo at Motown - " only use pictures with Cindy ! "
It was said on this forum more than a decade ago that Detroit Motown museum didn't have one picture of flo anywhere..she was visually erased from the installation I don't know if it's correct but this thread has just reminded me of the post..if it's true it's beyond petty
Gosh, this ad brings back a lot of memories. I can still picture watching this many times on our old RCA color tv set.
I already had ANTHOLOGY by this point but I remember wanting this collection as well, as I thought the photos in the ad might be included. Some time later, I remember some stores selling it as well and I was surprised to see that they included Jean's I GOT HURT [TRYING TO BE THE ONLY GIRL IN YOUR LIFE].

I visited the museum in fall 1990 and I honestly don't remember there being no photos of Flo. I think that would have stuck out in my mind. But it has been many years so I can't confirm or deny.
However, I do remember even back then some folks commenting that there was at least one displayed photo of DMF that Flo was literally cut out of, something Mary mentioned in her second book.
Technically, don't the pictures match the billing of the LPs?
i think this was a big seller ,had it for a while
loved the cover art
I would love to see the tv ad for "the boss" album and tour..I wonder if a copy of it survives..
Here's ad for Supreme Lady.
Great stuff! Interesting that Flo did make the cut for the Supreme Lady ad...but, as @reese pointed out, WTF with the Jean songs on there?
I think the year this came out was 1974 or 75. It was during the time the group was dormant. I remember Mary complaining about it in a fan club newsletter.
It was a big seller. It was also the first time the dolby system was used on Supremes music which gave it a crispness. But I also remember that for whatever reason the fades were made longer on several cuts.
Gonna Make You Love Me was left off obviously because it was not a Jobete composition. Motown wanted full profits. Touch and I Guess were also omitted and for some strange reason I Got Hurt from the Right On lp was included.
I doubt any of the ladies got anything for this lp. If they did it wasn't much.
