Sensational compilation album from The Supremes, jam packed with all their fantastic Motown hits from 1964-1967. Deservedly reached the top spot in both the US and UK. You can't get much better than this. (US:1 UK:1)

"This collection passes all the criteria by delivering hit after hit after hit. If you are looking for an introduction to The Supremes, or already like them, this is the collection for you. It was great to see these all together. I had trouble picking out my favourite song, but couldn't narrow it down. I tried a top three, and then a top five, but there was always another song that should be on the 'Best of the Best' list."

"This is all you need to satisfy a craving for Supremes' music. All of the hits are included in their original recordings. One of the great girl groups of the 1960s and for that, we salute Diana, Flo and Mary."

"The classic Motown Sound is unmistakable, and still makes for some of the most earnest pop music ever recorded. No bandwagon chasing, trend following artists in search of a quick buck, just pure and honest soul sung with unbridled joy."

"This is an amazing collection of songs, bursting with classic pop gems which are the best soundtrack to a sunny morning, the best intro to a feel-good day. The young Diana Ross tears through them with such dedication, conviction and gusto one cannot but be completely won over and delight in her little dramas."

"The Supremes 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' music from today’s artists give this one a spin."

"They are the most important female group ever bar none. Great songwriting and production and the songs are timeless. This is a must have compilation of some of the most important songs, not only on Motown, but the world."
