    Heck, it has gone up - even on UK HMV its up to £18. But it is £12.98 at Play.com

    Just glad I pre-ordered at £9 [[which includes free delivery). Though I'm sure it will come back down before long as More Hits is £8.99 on Amazon.

    I've really been enjoying this set. We always thank Andy and George, but many times we forget to thank Kevin Reeves, who does a marvelous job with the sound, in my opinion. I had the pleasure of meeting him and he is a really nice guy.

The truth is the public had been hearing The Andantes since early 1965 and no one was the wiser. I don't know why MAry had to make up lies like this - it caused her to lose credibility among fans and in the industry that knew better.
    So Flo's lead was not utilized because she never learned it is what i am hearing but who said that she didn't learn it. Further, I am wondering what is the truth behind "People" and was it or not performed at the Copa that seems to be a mystery,[[if it was why was it omitted there is no clue in the liner notes, does Berry have any control over these releases?) I don't think Mary had to lie about anything what she is saying is that The Supremes Mary and Flo were on most of the records whether the Andantes are their singing with or behind them which was the case on Stop in the name of Love, and I hear a symphony among others as compared to DMC where Mary and Cindy were left off the records in favor of the Andantes [[according to the book I am reading Motown from the background The Andantes only cite a few supremes records they sang on and Stop in the name of Love was not mentioned, and most of the background pre 65 were used on the female solo artists like Mary Wells, Kim Weston and brenda holloway.. The Supremes at the Copa is an effort by DMF and not just Diana Ross sorry guys, even though i can't comprehend has to why the mike on Flo was turned down on many cuts on Dics 2. I will know more when I beat my copy to death when it arrives. Lets face it Diana was great for the Supremes, but Flo was the backbone of that background

    Diane, Mary and Flo were and always will be the Supremes Frances. And although it happened a very long time ago I often wonder why Diane Ross and Mary Wilson didn't go to bat for Flo more.

    Flo's life turned into a nightmare with a tragic ending. If only things had turned out differently. Sad, so very, very sad. Take comfort and find strength in knowing that Florence Ballard is at home with the Lord and her pain, suffering and anguish is over.

    "For there is no sound of music in Hell. Only in the Lord's house will there be singing and all God's children will be able to sing with joy and their voices will never be silenced. There is nothing that pleases the Lord more than to hear his people singing in his heavenly house."

    Respectfully yours,

    Roberta

    Roberta - What chapter and verse is the scripture from? I'm guessing Psalms. It's beautiful. Kenneth

    I believe it is from the good book of Isaiah dear Kenneth but I could be wrong. I remember it coming from the old testament but may not be quoting it verbatim.

    The Bible is my guide that leads me through life Kenneth and in my most humble opinion, it is the greatest book ever published.

    Yours, with every good wish.
