Vintage Supreme Satisfaction July 26, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
When Hip-O Select announced the latest installment of its Lost & Found series, Diana Ross And The Supremes Let the Music Play, the play list seemed to be top heavy with alternative vocals and mixes. However, deeper digging into this release reveals some extraordinary gems. Connoisseurs of the legendary harmonies of Florence Ballard, Mary Wilson and Diana Ross will find a treasure trove here.
Unearthed from the legendary Motown vaults is (I Can't Get No) Satisfaction from the sessions intended for the Supremes A Go-Go lp. Diana bites into the Rolling Stones classic with gusto, no doubt taking some satisfaction from the fact that the Supremes knocked the Stones out of the number one spot not once, but twice in their heyday! From the same 1966 sessions, comes Mickey's Monkey, It's Not Unusual and an alternative vocal for Uptight (Everything's Alright).
Other fascinating discoveries include the Beatles I Saw Her Standing There and Buddy Holly's Not Fade Away recorded for their 1964 album, Bit of Liverpool. In a playful twist, the girls change the lyric to I Saw Him Standing There, forgoing the "Ooooh" in the chorus for "Oh" which throws off the listener accustomed to the Beatles original version. A raver, and rollicking good fun indeed!
Side two features a pair of spiritual hymns which harkens to the Supremes early influences from attending the same church. Diana gets to stretch her vocal talents with some early forays in jazz vocals taking on Canadian Sunset and Autumn Leaves, foreshadowing Lady Sings The Blues. Perhaps the most exciting revelation is the Supremes version of the Norman Whitfield classic, Ain't No Sun Since You've Been Gone. Their take oozes with street credibility and if this track had been released, it may have set a new direction for the group in the psychedelic soul forum. Berry Gordy obviously had a wider audience for Diana Ross in mind and may have withheld this sure-fire hit for that reason. Interestingly enough, it wasn't offered to any other Motown female group. Equally startling is the alternative vocal for Love Child, featuring an additional verse.
To close off this set is a series of Detroit DJ Scott Regan's radio promos. The sound clip of the girls telephone call to him from their dressing room during an engagement in Las Vegas is quite revealing. According to the information provided in the booklet, there are about another 100 unreleased Supremes recordings in the vaults and diehard fans will not rest till they all see the light of day.
Some criticism has been passed on this project for having packaging and a booklet made from recycled materials. In light of the fact that this release is ten dollars less than the previous releases in the series, this is a minor point of contention. Hip-O Select deserves recognition for their sensitive approach to releasing this important musical document. Supremely entertaining and fully satisfying!

We've done it again! The Northern and the Southern David Bishop in agreement about Diana Ross and The Supremes!
I think it is worth copying the track list here (with a few notes!), as Amazon is not currently showing it:
Disc 1
1. You Can Depend On Me
2. Tears Of Sorrow (Motown re-recording, from Diane's boots)
3. Because I Love Him
4. Hey Baby (version 1) (Flo Lead)
5. Too Hot
6. You're Gonna Come To Me (version 1)
7. You're Gonna Come To Me (version 2)
8. It Makes No Difference Now (alternate version) (Mary, Flo & Diane turns at lead, wonderful harmonies)
9. Come On Boy (alternate version)
10. Just Call Me (stereo mix)
11. I Saw Him Standing There (3 part harmony lead, Flo on top)
12. Not Fade Away (as above but better yet! Eerie, awesome harmonies)
13. Ooowee Baby (alternate Mix)
14. It's All Your Fault (version 1)
15. Hits Medley: Come See About Me/Baby Love/Stop! In The Name Of Love
16. Cupid (alternate extended mix)
17. Take Me Where You Go (version 3)
18. Back In My Arms Again (alternate vocal)
19. You Can't Hurry Love (alternate vocal) - alternate lead by Diane, with mistake!
20. Mickey's Monkey
21. Uptight (Everything's Alright) (alternate vocal)
22. It's Not Unusual
23. (I Can't Get No) Satisfaction
24. Come And Get These Memories (alternate mix) (Mary lead, as on 'A Go Go')
25. I Can't Help Myself (alternate mix)
26. Let The Music Play (alternate vocal)
Disc 2
1. Don't Let True Love Die (extended version)
2. What A Friend We Have In Jesus
3. Every Time I Feel The Spirit
4. Believe In Me
5. The Beginning Of The End Of Love (stereo mix)
6. People (unedited version) (Diane lead (Flo did it elsewhere))
7. Over The Rainbow
8. Wish I Knew
9. I Can't Give Back The Love I Feel For You
10. I'll Set You Free (alternate vocal)
11. Ain't No Sun Since You've Been Gone
12. In The Evening Of Our Love
13. Love Child (alternate vocal) - with additional lyrics!
14. Those Precious Memories
15. I'm Livin' In Shame (version 1)
16. MacArthur Park
17. You're Gonna Hear From Me
18. Canadian Sunset
19. Autumn Leaves
20. The Look Of Love
21. Someday We'll Be Together (alternate vocal)
22. BONUS: Scott Regan Promos - 6 mins Fascinating radio interviews and 'phone ins from the girls, to Detroit radio station. Flo was a great flirt!
So you see it is a double, and well worth it. The alternate versions are significantly different than other released versions in most cases. Diane (note my over familiarity!) does leads unless stated. Too much of disc 2 is just Diane, but that is the way it was going. I freely admit, however, that I believe Diana Ross was obviously the great star in there. Tracks are broadly in date order.
A must for fans!

An AMAZING collection of rarities - that is truly brilliant. What Ross does with SATISFACTION, CAN'T HELP MYSELF is amazing. Her gospel renditions of What a friend, and Everytime I feel the Spirit, are so moving one wonders why she never released a gospel song. The purity in her voice, the magic of the Ross of the 60's is reason not to pass this up. The first CD of the pre-hit supremes is astonishing - Diane's voice sounds completely different. Her version of OVER THE RAINBOW is in a different take and foreshadows the work she would on LADY. This is amazing.

I have just received my copy of this album . It does not dissapoint.
This shows why Diana Ross has become the global superstar she is today.
Some of these lost and found tracks are pure magic.Her version of Macarthur Park is fantastic as are so many other tracks. 'The Look of love' is very different to the recently released one from the 'I love you'CD.
It's great to hear Flo and Mary on a few of the tracks.Also you get to hear snippetts of chat with the producers and a few duff lines GREAT !!
It is unbelievable that all this was in the vault. No wonder Diana was so skinny on the 60's she must have been chained up in the recording studio to produce such a massive body of work as she did with the Supremes.
An absolute must have for any true Supremes fan.get your copy quick as it is a limited edition.
