So please don't try and guilt me by saying that if I don't support this release, we won't get any more. That's bull*hit. The fact is that fans have been asking for this release for years. I'm not one to assume, but one might think this has been the most requested release from the Supremes catalog, if only because it's NEVER been available on physical CD. Furthermore, all of the hard work is already done. It's been remastered; remixed. The boys have completed a lush booklet; how much does it REALLY cost a company like Universal to whip up a 1000 copies? If Martha Reeves can release "Home to You" and Mary Wilson can release "Up Close", certainly Universal can release "Funny Girl".
The fact of the matter is: these releases do not sell because there is NO PROMOTION. This is being released next week. So far the only word I've seen is on Andy's Facebook, the Expanded Facebook and here on SDF. Not a PEEP from Universal, who have the ability to post on Facebook, Twitter, and the various websites they own. So it's not that we're not buying them, it's that NO ONE KNOWS THEY ARE BEING RELEASED.
