Motown’s most consistent hitmakers and the most popular female group of the Sixties, The Supremes sang in a polished style that bridged the worlds of pop and soul. Fronted by Diana Ross during their peak years, they epitomized the classic Motown sound. Beautiful, musically versatile, and unique, the original Supremes were America’s sweethearts, setting records that no group has yet equaled. This quintessential collector’s edition contains their long unavailable debut album, Meet The Supremes (Motown, 1962), produced by the legendary Berry Gordy. In addition, we have included 5 bonus tracks from the same period, which together with this remastered LP constitute the best introduction for anyone wanting to explore The Supremes’ early years.
