Amazon.com
In the path of enormously popular collections of number one singles by Elvis and the Beatles comes this crammed (seconds shy of the 80-minute mark) disc from another pop-culture icon, Diana Ross & the Supremes. 14 Diana Ross/Supremes tracks appear in some of their most vivid sound ever, while the post-Ross Supremes get their due with "Stoned Love." Ross' Hollywood years make for the weakest music here ("Touch Me in the Morning," "Endless Love"), but disco smashes "Upside Down," "I'm Coming Out," and "The Boss" prove as smart, canny, and enduring as Supremes 45s like "You Keep Me Hangin' On" and "Reflections." The contemporary, yet already dated, remix of "Hangin' On" at album's end suggests, in fact, that Ross might make one more dance-floor comeback if paired with the right behind-the-scenes team. Basement Jaxx, anyone? --Rickey Wright

Revisiting the 60's in Style!.......2007-07-12
This music defines my happy days living in Austin, TX while attending The University! The Supreme sounds ROCKED the halls of my Dorm and accompanied me on many of my hiking journeys up and down the Hike and Bike Trail. Diana's soft sexy voice played in the background many dark evenings while my boyfriend (now husband) and I "got busy" in the back seat of his Chevy Convertible up on Lookout Mountain! Good times!
Great songs with a great sound.......2007-05-19
I really enjoyed the song quality on this CD. It has all of my favorite Supreme & Diana hits like - Come See About Me, Touch Me In The Morning & Im Coming Out.
I love Cd's that you can put on and just let play whether at home, in the car, or in the background when company is over.
If you like the Supremes and Diana this is one of the best variety of songs available.
I say give it a try & sing along ... I did.
Diana Ross & the Supremes.......2007-05-15
If you want the best of Diana and The Supremes, this is the cd for you! It has all of the #1's from the group and Diana's solo career during the 70's. It is fantastic!
ABSOLUTELY THE BEST!!!.......2007-05-06
If you love the Diana Ross music, you have to buy this cd!!! this is the best effort to compilate all the Diana's career in only one disc, and the quality of the songs (all they are remastered in stereo) is incredible!! but the best is that all the No. 1 singles from the supremes and Diana's solo single No. 1 hits are in this colection and wooow!! 24 songs !!!!; from the first hits like WHERE DID OUR LOVE GO, BABY LOVE, STOP! IN THE NAME OF LOVE and CAN'T HURRY LOVE to memorable songs like ENDLESS LOVE (with Lionel Richie), DO YOU KNOW WHERE YOU GOING TO and UPSIDE DOWN (pure disco), if you think, you can realize that you have songs from the early 60's to the late 80's IN ONLY ONE COMPILATION!!!; THEN I RECOMMEND THIS CD TO EVERYBODY!!
One advertising: some versions of this cd have the inclussion of Diana's song CHAIN REACTION (the latin-american versions like the Mexican and Argentina ones have this song), but the US version doesn't iclude this great song, unfortunately.
Fresh Versions Of Old Favorites.......2007-04-14
I bought this disc recently to add to my Supremes collection because I already knew it would sound fantastic... and it does. The remastering of these classic tracks make them sound better and more vibrant than any previously released collection. But here's the real kicker: most of these tracks appear in versions that are different than have ever been heard before!!
Hardcore Supremes fans will listen to these tracks and immediately feel a shock of revelation that they are not the same old versions that have been on compilation after compilation. Most of these tracks are newly remixed for stronger bass, more stereo separation, and now have extended endings. "Stop In The Name Of Love" for example, goes on beyond it's original fade, so that you can hear the backing track fade out while the girls keep singing until they finish cold, with one final "Stop!". "You Keep Me Hangin' On " has a longer second chorus, as well as a previously unheard cold ending. And the new mix of "Reflections" is a real eye opener, with softer psychedelic sound effects synched up from the originally released version, and an ending that continues on WAY beyond the original fade out point, with an additional coda and cold ending ( not to mention an originally deleted backing vocal in the bridge of the song )! Not every track is that radically different, but most do go on slightly longer than before, and the remastering and remixing makes them sound better than ever.
Even if you own any of the previous Supremes compilations, this collection is a must, for the alternate versions of these songs, and the much improved sound quality.

Customer Reviews:
Great Idea That Misses The Mark And WAY OVERPRICED.......2007-07-31
This was a CD I had ordered without the least bit of hesitation, After hearing it I had wished I had had a chance to sample. This is a great idea,
remix one of the most popular bands of all time. However the project comes up short. Grant it that there are a few good tracks, the rest fall short of grabbing the dancefloor. You Can't Hurry Love And I'm Coming are decent dance tracks, the remix of Ain't No Mountain was to say the least DISSAPOINTING. Just a drawn out intro that never really goes anywhere. Oh Well I guess if you're a Supremes Fan you''ll buy this just for the pure novelty of the disc, my advice look for a used price that will save you $10 or $15.
Diana and The Supremes Are Never Leaving !!! .......2007-07-28
I bought this cd because i not only love them, but wanted to hear the mixes which i always buy from other artists. I LOVED them all! I would have to say that if this would've been a US release, I could so see the music company promoting the Remixed album with Stop In The Name Of Love.
First there was Marilyn Monroe Mixes from Japan, Now Diana Ross and Supremes. What next, Elvis Presley !!!
Japan DJ Mixers Know how to make you Dance!!!!
re invented.......2007-07-25
I love these mixes. I have previously bought remixes of Diana's both made in the States and in England but they merely put a revamped beat behind the groove. These Japanese remixes totally change the concept of Diana and the Supremes. The new version Of I'm still waiting is my favourite. Also deeper beats on Upside Down and the Boss have absolute excitement for me. I think we should give credit where it is due. These modern Japanese producers have made the songs sound so new and I can easily imagine them being dropped into a set at nightclubs and dance parties.
NOT EVEN FOR TRUE FANS!.......2007-07-25
the remixes are gawd awful. was hoping for some sort of dance remixes which have heard in clubs. however, the songs on this cd sound as if someone was just tinkering with some electronic equipment and decided that could be called "remixes". this is NOT worth purchasing - trust me. and I am a B I G both diana ross and the supremes fan.
Progressive Japanese Remixes Capture the Flavor of the Originals.......2007-07-25
This is a great package of remixes. The new versions are longer, deeper, and more challenging than the "safe" American remixes we get here. Some of these guys took the girls' voices way out there and came back winners. There's hard dance music, melodic "disco" type songs, and a couple of experimental sounding mixes that I hope will grow on me. The Fantastic Plastic Machine remix of Ain't No Mountain... is exciting and fun. Man, I'd love to be on a dancefloor with this song playing full blast. I'm Still Waiting is given a shuffling beat with sweet strings. All in all, you'll hear the Supremes voices sounding just as contemporary in these remixes as any of the current divas out there, and that's just wonderful. Touch Me In the Morning gets a down and dirty, fast tempo remix complete with an audience cheering. Diana's voice doesn't sound distorted at all as she asks if we know where we're going to as the music POUNDS behind her. I hope Diana Ross listens to this and gets a warm feeling knowing that a whole new generation will be discovering her voice. I'm old enough to have seen her performing with the Supremes on Ed Sullivan, and this collection respected us older listeners and gave me lots of listening pleasure. Very deep, joyful mixes with the melodies intact.

The Definitive Collection.......2007-06-01
I recently purchased this product. It arrived in about a week. The CD was in excellent condition. Still in shrink wrap. There were no scratches on the cd. I have been enjoying listening to it every since I received it. I will definitely purchase again.
Classic DIANA ROSS and More!!.......2007-05-14
This is truly a spectacular DIANA ROSS collection! Not only does it contain her classic #1 hits as a sensational solo artist. It also features many of the dynamic songs from her RCA years, in additon to a newly released bonus track "What A Diff'rence A Day Makes." PLUS GORGEOUS (and rarely seen) photographs, with an informative essay booklet included!! Personally I have FIVE copies of this album in my collection.
Diana Ross Definitive Collection.......2007-03-13
it is wonderful, and I received it so promptly! I very much appreciated it, and sure brought back lots of memories!
The Boss.......2007-03-08
I purchased this CD because I heard the song "The Boss" and it brought
back memories from High School, plus I remembered seeing her on American
Bandstand. I miss that show. All those shows are gone. Can we please
get that on DVD! That song has a message of getting control of your life.
It was a celebration song of victory. She demonstrated that on American
Bandstand. The song "Muscles" was a favorite as well, I had a boyfriend
in H.S. and we have a talent show where all the football players have their shirts off and flexed there muscles off that song. "Just Good Memories!"

The title is a bit of a misnomer: The Supremes are anthologized in more comprehensive fashion on Motown's three-volume Greatest Hits series, while this package is denser, and has a higher hit-per-track ratio. But if you'd rather pick up one collection than three, and if you want a good, thorough skimming of cream from the group's catalog, this is the better choice. All of the familiar songs are here, with no major omissions--and they're packed in with a liberal helping of second-magnitude hits. For a collection that samples only the extreme top end of the Supremes' output, there's Every Great No. 1 Hit, also on Motown. It's missing a lot, but it delivers exactly what it promises. --Gavin McNett

It's About the Music.......2007-06-27
Diana Ross and The Supremes were the leading girl group at Berry Gordy's Motown Records during the 1960's and 70's. Furthermore, they were a leading group among all girl groups of the 1960's; you've only got to count their hits to know that. But recently, with the Broadway stage and movie success of "Dreamgirls," and its non-Motown, non-original sound track, many of us may be more familiar with the backstory than the group's music.
This record collection can remedy that situation. Among its 20 tracks, I count 14 songs that were big, reasonably rocking hits, Motown style, before the studio started going for a softer style that better suited the emerging solo star Diana Ross's slender voice. Holland-Dozier-Holland surely knew how to write rocking songs; the studio had a celebrated, tight backing band, and The Supremes could deliver. Listen to "Come See About Me," one of their earliest hits, and hear those girls belt it out. Or try "Back In My Arms Again," "Love Is Like an Itching in My Heart,""Stop! In the Name of Love." Any one of their 14 original hits: these girls were not peddling bubblegum.
The backstory doesn't explain their great success: it's about the music...
The best!!.......2007-01-05
Good quality and great selection!!! This is Diana Ross and the Supremes. What could be better?
Damn, these girls could SING!.......2006-07-26
The Supremes (or Diana Ross & the Supremes, whatever you wanna call 'em) had two very important things today's R&B stars lack: the undeniable songwriting power of Holland/Dozier/Holland is one. For another, they had SOUL!!! If you're tired of the cut-and-dry, emotionless "soul" (read: rap) music from Mariah Carey & friends, give this one a spin! Good songs... where can I start? At the beginning, I suppose... When the Lovelight Starts Shining Through His Eyes, Where Did Our Love Go?, Baby Love, Come See About Me, Back in My Arms Again (the latter five all #1's), I Hear a Symphony, You Can't Hurry Love (their best song in my mind), You Keep Me Hangin' On, Love Child, I'm Livin' In Shame, I'm Gonna Make You Love Me (with the Temps, a winning combo in my mind!) and the beautiful Someday We'll Be Together. And there's only one bad track over the course of 25 (yes, I'm actually admitting there is a bad song here. I deserve whatever flames I may be given) is the seriously dated No Matter What Sign You Are. Buy it, buy it, BUY IT!!!
Not entirely Supreme.......2006-01-20
OK, what you hear are all hits, but there are more hits than on this CD. And plenty of other CD-sets to pick from. But I don't want more than one CD you say. Well, then pick the #1 Supreme hits CD. With a better track-listing an far better sound quality than this one. So you have to pay a bit more; you'll be dissapointed if you buy this one and then listen to the #1 CD.
And are you really sure you don't want to hear the gems that are finally discovered on the Supremes Box set?
Awesome songs, bad audio.......2005-03-20
No sense repeating the extensive reviews regarding how influential and entertaining this music is. It's truly astounding, and the music is brilliant.
However...
In remastering these recordings, the audio engineers have apparently done what I always call a "boost and compress," which reduces dynamic range, increases overall apparent loudness, and often increases distortion. Back in the 60's, the tendency was to mix songs with vocals much louder than the accompanying music, and with very little deep bass. Nowadays the tendency is right the opposite, with electronically generated deep bass notes, and vocals barely peeking over the music. To give the Supremes a more modern sound, they seem to have compressed these tracks to bring up the music, especially the bass. The result is distorted and unnatural vocals, and compressed dynamic range, especially on the older songs. It's really a shame.
If you can't tell the difference between mp3's and CDs, you won't care. If you're an audiophile, you'll be disappointed.

Amazon.com
Diana Ross may have hand-selected the 14 songs on this disc, but as its executive producer she didn't do her domineering reputation justice. Arrangements sag when they should snap-to. At times they're dozy. Occasionally, as in Berlin's "Take My Breath Away," they drown themselves in melancholy. But the good news is that they don't pull Diana's vocals down with them. There are moments on I Love You when the world's most distinguished diva positively purrs (Harry Nilsson's classic "Remember," which opens and closes the disc), and others when she digs deep ("To Be Loved"); 40-plus years into her career, her voice is still her own. In addition to the arrangements, problems with this imperfect disc include the songs themselves which, in this age of carefully calculated comebacks, could have been better edited (Spiral Staircase's "More Today Than Yesterday" is Ross's speed; Paul McCartney's contemplative "I Will" isn't). Still, when Diana goes for redemption she does it up big, true to form, and where I Love You redeems itself best is on its sole original composition. Title track "I Love You" is pure valentine; a heartfelt burst that, in three sweetly sung words, speaks volumes. --Tammy La Gorce

how lovely to hear something new from diana good album of covers if not alittle strange choice ie crazy little thing called love didnt get that one at all stick to what your so fab at doing the love songs the rest of the album is great
Love Conquers Everything.......2007-06-24
I saw Diana Ross on American Idol and decided to purchase this CD. 'I Love You' is fun, a lilting ride and an aural experience into the genre of love. Diana Ross never sounded better. The choice of material is timeless. The classic material is not your typical standards, but standards they are! With each listen it gets better. 'You Take My Breath' away is a fresh breeze from a cannon of contempory favorites. 'Lovely Day' sets the tone for top notch productions and vocal interpretations. Other standouts include 'To Be Loved', 'Remember', "More Today Than Yesterday' and 'The Look of Love'. Play it for a while and you'll discover several classics that you never heard before. A very enjoyable experience--try it you'll love it.
Diana Still Reigns Supreme!.......2007-06-09
I generally only write book reviews but I want to get my two cents worth in on this most recent CD by Diana Ross. I have been a fan of Diana since her early days with The Supremes. I am proud to say I have a copy of everything she has ever recorded. Saw her live once again last year, at the Pantages Theatre in Los Angeles, and let me tell you the girl still has it goin' on! She looked marvelous (as usual) and her voice was in prime form. The evening (a one night only) was sold out. The audience was mostly filled with her die hard fans and the evening was a very special one. I was glad and anxious to get my copy of "I Love You" and I think it is OK. There is still room for another hit from this Diva. Personally, my favorite cut on the CD is "I Want You", the old Marvin Gaye hit (this song was actually written by Diana's brother). I wish she would release it as a single and maybe do some remixes. I also really enjoy her rendition of "Only You" originally sung by The Plattters. I am disappointed that the album has so many covers,ultimately, I would like to see her release a CD that has all new material, I truly believe she has a few more hits in her. As some other reviewers have suggested, she should turn over the management of her career to someone who will promote her as she should be promoted. She has been a pioneer in the industry and she should be respected for all that she has accomplished and done in paving the way for the diva's that have come after her. Diana Ross is a fabulous performer, she doesn't have the strongest voice in the world these days (as was evidenced by her AI performance) but she most definitely still reigns supreme!
Excellent CD from the greatest Pop/R&B Diva.......2007-06-04
I have watched Diana Ross perform in Madison Square Garden, Wembley Arena and The Point in Dublin. She is in fine form and continues to be one of the greatest concert performers of all time.
The I Love You CD is a well balanced, well produced easy listening CD that is refreshing. It is the type of CD that grows on you. Highlights include: I Want You, What About Love, Lovely Day, I Love You and my favorite, Always and Forever.
If you want to know what excellent music is all about, buy this CD for your personal collection. Give it also as a gift to friends and loved ones. You won't regret it.
When Will This Diva Get the Respect She Deserves?.......2007-05-17
I have been a Supremes fan since the first strains of "When the Lovelight Starts Shining in His Eyes." There was something about this group and the nicotine-soprano lead of Diane Ross that set them apart from all the other groups. This talented combination hit the stratosphere. But in this country what goes up must eventually come down and stories of tantrums, ego, love affairs with influential people, and diva-like behavior followed La Ross and eventually led to the downfall of that group. Mary struggled mightily to keep the group going and The Supremes came up with some major hits (Up The Ladder, Stoned Love, Floy Joy, Nathan Jones, River Deep Mountain High). However without Ross, Motown lost interest and the group died.
Here is my point. The stories about Miss Ross may be true but she has to be irritated and upset about her and The Supremes treatment by the press and industry. Diana and the Supremes paved the way for all female rock acts that came after them. They "crossed" and in that journey brought many acts with them, not just from Motown. They also elevated the glamour of Afro-American women in a way that not had happened since Lena Horne. When I was a child, we waited with baited breath for every Supreme appearance on television, whether it be on Andy Williams, Ed Sullivan, or a Rodgers & Hart special with The Mamas and the Papas. At one time, only The Supremes, Lena Horne, Sammy Davis Jr. and the still brilliant Leslie Uggams were the only African-Americans seen regularly on television.
The Supremes and Diana never got their true due. Besides the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame few honors have come their way and none during their heyday. They never won a Grammy or even a special Grammy for that matter. And during their tenure as the most successful female group of all time and only 2nd to the Beatles in popularity, they were constantly attacked. The critics said they were too "white", too made-up, too much. Yet they could sing a Rodgers and Hart Medley, sing several of their #1 hits, sing someone else's hits, do a tribute to Sam Cooke, do a Broadway medley and get a thunderous standing ovation. Without extra voices, dancers running around them, triple tracking or lipsynching, just three talented, beautiful ladies at the microphone. We will never see the likes of it again (Listen to Diana Ross and the Supremes Live at London's Talk of the Town).
As for "I Love You." it is not her best album. Ashford and Simpson produced her best work. However, it is wonderful to hear that supreme voice not damaged by age or stimulants (take a listen to the latest Dionne Warwick duets ablum and you will know what I mean). She could have tried to do a hip hop album or even gone country, but she stuck to what she does best. I am not in love with some of the arrangements but considering she could not get a record deal in the states (I guess you have to be 23 to get one these days) and had to go to England to record it on very little money, that is a quibble. After 44 years to have Diana Ross sound like... well... like Diana Ross, is a joy.
I believe that if anyone ever "really" says thank you to La Ross for what she has achieved and how she has paved the way for others who came behind her and The Supremes, she will go into a studio and come up with something from her heart that will be tremendous. The chops are still there. Until then..."I Love You" more than fills the bill.

Album Description
Last Time I Saw Him, a classic Diana Ross album overlooked in the digital era, finally makes its CD debut. Recorded and released in 1973, Last Time I Saw Him, with its track written Michael Masser and Pam Sawyer, was the follow-up to Dianna's No.1 Touch Me In The Morning. Masser, the Four Seasons' Bob Gaudio and Motown's own Ron Miller and Tom Baird contributed to the LP; one of Baird's tracks, "Turn Around, written by Harry Belafonte, was a holdover from a previously unreleased album.

Nearly 35 years after being tagged for debasing Billie Holiday's legacy with her slick pop vocals in the biopic Lady Sings the Blues--an approach producer Berry Gordy claims he had her take to make her "more relatable to a general audience"--Diana Ross gets a chance to redeem herself with these jazzier, alternate versions of the same material. Recorded around the time of the 1972 film (several bonus tracks come directly from the movie sessions), the original album was conceived as a companion piece to the soundtrack. But it was shelved and, we are told, lost in the vaults until recently. The good news is that when she commits herself to jazz, with a group of top jazz musicians behind her (playing arrangements by Benny Golson and Oliver Nelson), Ross holds her own. Her renditions of Holiday staples such as "You've Changed" and "Easy Living" are a bit mild, but lovely and relaxed. She makes up for the basic thinness of her voice with her cool, immaculate handling of melody. It's when she relies on her pop-soul instincts, as she does on a painfully awkward reading of "I Loves You Porgy," or has to contend with album arranger Gil Askey's Vegas-style touches, that she sounds unconvincing or unsteady. But Ross' diehard fans won't want to be without "Blue" and her more casual admirers will be intrigued by this departure. --Lloyd Sachs
Customer Reviews:
I Feel BLUE.......2007-07-22
I very much anticipated on hearing this album when it first came out, but I have to admit I thought it was another compilation from Motown or RCA, so when I found out that it was unreleased songs from 30 something years ago, I thought I must get it. Before buying the album I read some reviews on it here, even though "Blue" was rated really good, I had to read the negative reviews too, at first I thought they can't be right and they're still not, they complain on the music being uneven, which of course is not true, the music on this album is very even, very good & smooth, just like Jazz music should be and is. The songs compliment each other very well making this album perfect for a 4 1/2 star rating. The only thing I do have a problem with is Diana Ross' singing voice on here, now don't get me wrong I love Diana Ross I have so many albums of hers from compilations to studio ones, but Ms. Ross' voice wasn't matured enough yet to sing these type of songs, especially "My Man" which she kills, the only one that should be aloud to sing that is Barbra Streisand. Now I loved Diana Ross in "Lady Sings The Blues" but still there was a reason they didn't release this album back then, it was a smart move to release "Touch Me In The Morning" instead of this one, luckily Diana's singing voice matured over the years and went on to sing quite a few power ballads, like "It's My Turn"; "One More Chance" and "Home" to name a few. Overall I give this album a 3 1/2 star rating, maybe with a few more listens I'll upgrade the rating to a 4.
Blue is Beautiful, Calming, and Relaxing.......2007-06-28
The Blue CD is beautiful, calming, and relaxing music. As always Diana Ross gives us her best. I have most of her other music. This adds to my collection.
Blue Me Away.......2007-06-24
What Album has been on the jazz charts for half a year and was recorded 30 years ago. The answer is Diana Ross's 'Blue'. Listen to it and you'll know why!!
Right title!.......2007-05-22
This album was very well done. This was the right time to release this album so we can appreciate the Jazz talent of Diana Ross. Berry Gordy had his reasons. She should continue to put out more jazz material like Natalie Cole is doing.
Blues and More Blues.......2007-05-13
This follow up album to Lady Sings The Blues, include some songs sang in the movie, and other gems that she sings with great ease and savvy, as well as well voiced. This is a great CD for Jazz/Blues lovers, which of course she made one out of me, and a must on Diana Ross' collections.
Great, Great, Great.
Berry Gordy made decisions sometimes that were foolish, yes foolish, because this album should have been release back then, and would have enhanced the moment she was having and her career, but hey better late than never.
Go buy it right now.

The Supremes' catalog (as well as that of every other hit-making artist who ever recorded for Motown) has been packaged and repackaged so many times that yet another go-round of the same material would seem pretty uninviting if the music weren't so good. The songs collected here certainly constitute some of the Supremes' prime stuff. But like many of the entries in MCA's 20th Century Masters collection, it's a product of flawed logic. The set is made up entirely of No. 1 hits, except for "Reflections," which charted at No. 2. It's unclear why that song takes precedence over two of the group's other No. 1s, "Love Is Here and Now You're Gone" and "The Happening" (both of which end up on Volume 2). The album could have stuck to the Supremes' early period, before Diana Ross became front woman in name as well as in fact. In that scenario, earlier hits could have subbed for "Love Child" and "Someday We'll Be Together," and those songs saved for a subsequent volume. Maybe these are quibbling arguments, but the perpetual mishandling of Motown's peerless catalog continues to puzzle. --Daniel Durchholz

5 stars for content, 2 for execution.......2004-05-25
For years now, Universal has been cranking out basic, mid-priced compilation CD's of artists in their huge catalog of labels. In many cases, these CD's have been welcomed as they have provided overview collections for some artists that have not been collected before or are an improvement, sonically and/or content-wise, over existing product. However, with the myriad of CD's available for supergroups such as the Supremes, there really is no need for this collection but here it is anyway. If by some chance a music fan does not already own a Supremes collection, this would be a decent sampling but unfortunately, the sound quality here leaves a lot to be desired. So while it's hard to dispute getting all number one tunes with one number two side, this CD falls on its face when it comes to how it performs. Much of the early Motown stuff is muddy-sounding and when mastered for lp the high end was pumped up to compensate for the warming effect of going to vinyl. However, use these masters for CD and without the smoothing out effect of vinyl, these sound terribly shrill and harsh. Two of the tracks here, "Baby Love" and "Come See About Me" are particularly difficult to listen to for this reason. Since stereo versions are available on other Supremes' CD's there is little reason to purchase this only to get sound that is inferior to that which can be obtained elsewhere. With their monumental charting success, a second Millennium collection volume was necessary to merely skim off the Supreme's biggest hits and that companion volume to this one is a bit better technically. Nonetheless, neither of these collections offer anything new and are actually a step down. Better Supremes collections are easily found elsewhere and are preferable to these Millennium pieces.
Disappointed.......2004-01-16
My first Supremes collection purchase on CD. It lacks the warm, full richness I've associated with vinyl.
Deep bass and sharp handclaps but the midrange isn't there.
Is it a bad mixing job or have I just become used to what I hear on the radio?
Compare the snare drum on Phil Collins version of You Can't Hurry Love to the snare drum on this mix.
I know, this isn't about drums but it's difficult to express audio impressions with written words.
I feel the reproduction quality (remix?) of this collection is substandard.
I'm looking for an enjoyable Supremes collection and this isn't it.
Why?.......2003-04-18
I am annoyed with the amount of collections put on Diana Ross and the Supremes. What about the "great underrated" artists like Thelma Houston, "one hit wonder" I think not! Diana Ross is a fine artist but she isn't this great "diva" that she wants everybody to think she is. think about it
Great Song Choices.......2003-02-05
The 20th Century Masters collections are infamous for leaving off hits when it comes to many artists. However, this one is pretty well done and put together. Of course, the Supremes had a ton of hits so not everyone of their big songs are here *although a majority are.* Every song on here is instantly recognizable. Everyone knows "Stop In the Name of Love," "Baby Love," and "Where Did Our Love Go." My personal favorite is the great closing track "Someday We'll Be Together." My only complaint is the omission of "I'm Gonna Make You Love Me." That's probably my favorite song by them and it would've made a good addition. Oh, well.
The Supremes were definitely THE girl supergroup. They paved the way for others such as Destinys Child, Expose, and En Vogue. Very few artists have as many hits to back them up as them.
Soul Music.......2002-05-31
This was the first Supremes CD I purchased in wanting to hear the "Motown Sound" that I hear on my neighboring oldies station. A substantial amount of the songs on this particular CD are composed by the legendary team of Holland, Dozier, Holland and our carefully crafted to perfection. Hits like `Baby Love', `I Hear a Symphony' and `Where did our Love Go' should forever remain on our radio dials and music shelves as representatives of what was once called soul music. If you would like to experience the disciplined sound that put the Motor City on the map and which put together the mold for all other girl groups to pursue. Buy this CD as a starting point. You will not be disappointed.

While hardly as superfine a Ross vehicle as the Chic-produced Diana of a year later, 1979's The Boss does offer a few tracks of prime Ashford and Simpson-helmed disco-pop. Foremost among them are the title track (also heard on this augmented CD reissue in an even better 12-inch remix), "No One Gets the Prize," and "I Ain't Been Licked." All three offer a mix of sass and vulnerability that's among the diva's most pleasing stances. "All for One" and "I'm in the World" try too hard in their ways to reinvent Ross's showbizzy anthem "Reach Out and Touch," but neither truly offends. --Rickey Wright
Customer Reviews:
Still a classic in 2006.......2006-11-12
This album is one of my all time favourites by any artist. Diana is at her peak and the music has been sent direct from heaven courtesy of legendary writers Ashford & Simspon. I still get goosebumps when I play the classic dance numbers "No One Gets The Prize", "The Boss", "I Ain't Been Licked" and the smooth mid-tempo grooves of "It's My House" and "Once In The Morning". And the ballads are wonderful too - esp "All For One". We went and saw Diana live in concert in Melbourne and Sydney just a week ago (Nov 2006) and the crowds went wild when Diana belted out "The Boss" and esp when she let loose with her vocal dynamics at the end just like on the 12" extended single (included on this CD) - of course a standing ovation and a stunning vocal that everyone deserves to hear/feel. My three favourites on the album are "No One Gets The Prize", "Once In The Morning" and "It's My House" - all glorious productions. Diana fan or not, do yourself a favour and buy this classic album!
"THE BOSS" IS A CLASSIC~BRAVO DIANA !!! .......2006-10-10
When Diana Ross went into the studio to lay down the tracks for this delicious classic that I have loved since its release, this great singer was in rare form and did some of the most inspired singing of her long and totally brilliant career...from the opening "No One Get's The Prize" it is clear that this is going to be one hell of a ride with a legendary singer in top form!!! Diana is loose, funky and supremely soulful and the material and arrangements are equally inspired and superb. The follow up release "Diana" which is another tremendous classic went through the roof but "THE BOSS" has always been my personal favorite from this Supremely Talented Diva...next track is the ultimate survival athem and "I Ain't Been Licked" is another reason why "The Boss" is the ultimate musical treasure chest of classic performances as Diana infuses this great song with a edgy and urgent vocal that is nothing less than stunning...one of those incredibly great songs that you will play over and over and love it more with each listen...Diana needs to get back into the studio with Ashford and Simpson as they are a match made in musical heaven..."All For One" is another glorious track with Diana in top ballad form infusing this classic song one with a completely gorgeous and passionate vocal performance that is nothing less than brilliant...title track "The Boss" is another song turned into an athem by Miss Ross as she infuses this great song with a tremendous vocal that is loose and wildly soulful...every song in this great collection is a winner and this is a must have for anyone who enjoys a legendary singer at the peak of her wonderous powers...BRAVO DIANA and thanks for this wonderful musical treat that is your complete masterpiece for us all to savor and enjoy until the next one...a great companion to this awesome CD is the Import DVD "Diana Ross In Concert" which is a incredibly great HBO special taped in Las Vegas during "The Boss" tour and this amazing 80 minute tour-de-force performance hopefully will be released in the US!!!
A Masterpiece.......2006-04-16
This album is the greatest achievement of Diana Ross' career. Miss Ross sings in a way that she has ever in her career. From the opening track, "No One Get's the Prize," to the title track and especially, "Once In the Morning," every vocal is a thrilling surprise. The vocals on every track show that Ross can sing the way she's always demonstrated during her live performances, but seldom on records. This record is one of Ashford and Simpson's best production, along with Gladys Knight & the Pips', "About Love." If you are a new Ross fan, this is the record the have, in all it's remastered glory. Simply, a Masterpiece!
No doubt!.......2006-01-31
The Boss is The Bomb. Yea, yea, the next album was "chic" and all that, and perhaps commecially her best seller. When they were in vogue, put anyone on a Chic groove and they sold by the truckloads, i.e. David Bowie, Sister Sledge, etc. Even Lady Madonna got some of their flavor. Having said all that, if you must own at least one Diana Ross album, it's got to be this one, hands down.
Who's the boss?.......2006-01-20
You're right: in another review I referred to The Boss as being Diana's best solo effort after her first solo album in 1970. Any similarities? You bet! Ashford & Simpson are back in charge here, as there were in the late sixties and early seventies. Apparently they know how to get the best out of Ms Ross. Strong tracks with excellent rhythm and back-ups. Catchy lyrics for Diana to sing in a voice that seems to have a range larger than ever before. Looking back at that period, I feel this must have been the top of her success. Surely, about a year after this record 'Diana' was produced by Edwards and Rodgers (Chic), but personally I believe she emulates he Chic-sound on that one (she had no choice), whereas The Boss is still very Motown, combined with late seventies disco. Diana's voice sounds great here. From the eighties recordings it slowly loses its power, perhaps because of the lesser material to sing, who knows?

MYSTICAL DIANA .......2007-07-28
I call this the MYSTICAL Diana/Supremes LP. From the Bizarre intro of REFLECTIONS (HDH claimed that they were walking in the studio one day and heard an engineer making wierd sounds with his equipment. They quickly borrowed the idea for the intro to REFLECTIONS!) the songs echoe a deeper and pondering Miss Ross. BAH BAH BAH sounds like a Kabbalistic Dirge. The ODE TO BILLIE JOE prefaces Ross' later work as JaZZ diva. The stunning UP, UP AND AWAY has a sadness that is ironic. The Tour De Force is I CANT MAKE IT ALONE. This is Diana's most resplendant song in the 60's - equal in it's FORCE and IMPACT Dusty's ALL I SEE IS YOU and YOU DON'T HAVE TO SAY YOU LOVE ME. Ross's voice is Strong but Majestic and the melody is haunting. She sings 'the pleasures of my life, I placed them into your hands, now suddenly you've gone, and make a change in plans, that won't include me now...that world of pleasant dreams, is but a nightmare now...it's all over now that dream is over now'. The depth and beauty of the song are perhaps the reason why it was never released as a single - it was too beautiful (as Billie Holiday once wrong of her song Same Old Story). This is a Beautiful albumn. The lovely ALL I KNOW ABOUT YOU - an old Side B that was never released in the US on LP is a great addition. This is the Diana/Mary and Flo at their best - Diana's blossoming style and her close promixty to Biliie's sadness are coming to fruition. Brilliant.
REFLECTIONS of the charming Supremes album!.......2007-07-24
The NEWLY re-packaged "REFLECTIONS" CD by Diana Ross and The Supremes is issued in a charming mini-album jacket!! An exact dublicate of the original album cover artwork presented back in 1968. In addition, this beautiful Japanese import also features two bonus tracks (See track listing). Truly a charming way to reissue this delightful reflection of Diana Ross and The Supremes. (12 original tracks and 2 bonus tracks- Japan)
