Your album, your playlist your way

[daviddh]

Thinking out loud.if you could produce one album.one album that you felt needed .... whatever.....what album would you retool ..remix.
My two choices
New Ways Love Stays
Sing HDH
More original material on both drop the covers.
Sing.hdh
You keep me hanging on
This old heart of mine
Love is here and now your gone.
shake me wake me
I'll turn to stone
Smother you mother you
Love is an itching in my heart
Going down for the third time
Love it in our hearts
I guess I'll always love you
Remove this doubt
There no stopping us now

[daviddh]

New ways love stays
Together we can
Stoned love
Time to break down
Love it came to me this time
Here comes the sunrise
Have I lost you
Shine on me
Wish I were your mirror
May his love shine on forever
Thank him for today

[Thornton]

"The Supremes" 1975 album would be my top pick, but "Reflections" is a close second. Like many fans, I love the songs on the '75 album but it's too short and doesn't really highlight Scherrie on the A-side. My current playlist for the '75 album is

Side A:
He's My Man [extended version]
I Can Never Recover
Early Morning Love
Where Do I Go From Here
Color My World Blue
Bend A Little [unedited version]
Side B:
This Is Why I Believe In You
It's All Been Said Before
The Sha-La Bandit [Mary, Cindy, Scherrie version]
You Can't Stop A Girl In Love
Give Out But Don't Give Out [Scherrie version]
You Turn Me Around [Mary Wilson Anthology version]

Your version sounds much more cohesive than the released album. On my own mix, I follow up "You Keep Me Hangin' On" with "I Can't Help Myself." Honestly, anything but the dreary "You're Gone But Always In My Heart" would have been a better second song.

I always thought You're Gone was an odd track ,especially following YKMHO on this album..huge difference imo.
A Go Go has to many covers,perhaps if all the songs were recorded with the Funk Bros.....it would have sounded better
I like Diana's vocal on Heatwave ,but the production is so ....light.....is a word I use...just not as strong as YKMHO.

These are the other two albums I would update .
Supremes 75
Reflections,especially side two was not as strong

Great version!
I would also add Baby, I Need Your Loving, I Can't Help Myself and Put Yourself In My Place, maybe making it a long album but a great playlist. [It may have worked in the UK where albums had more songs].

hmmmmm - this is tough since i'd redo a lot of their albums! lol

i'll go for variety here and do an album that might not be other's people go to:

Cream of the Crop

Someday
you gave me love
stormy
will this be the day
you're gonna hear from me
loving you is better than ever

when it's to the top
those precious memories
the beginning of the end
the look of love
i'll set you free

as you can see, i'm using a couple songs that were originally on previous albums. but since i had already played producer with THOSE lps, that left tracks like Will This Be the DAy and Set you Free as still available

My Playlists that I've had for a few years that I haven't tired of - YET! These were albums that I avoided, in recent years - or decades, because I didn't like the order of the songs or even some of the songs, themselves. However I wanted something similar to what was originally released, and in that time frame, for the most part, rather than compiling Playlists of miscellaneous favorites.

More Hits - bet you didn't think someone would alter THIS one! lol

It's just 1 minor change but i think it would have been a smart move

Side 1
Love is like an itching in my heart
Mother Dear
Stop in the Name of love
Honey Boy
Back in my arms again
Whisper you love me

Side 2
Nothing but heartaches
the only time i'm happy
he holds his own
who could ever doubt my love
i'm so glad heartaches don't last
I'm in love again

as you can see, I add Itching AND it would have been single #3 from the album. it was completed in early July 65 and More Hits was released at the end of the month.
