The Supremes

In the early days of the CD age, Motown released an astonishing number of CDs, including a whole line of single-disc sets that contained two original records on one CD. Motown's initial CD two-fers were criticized in many quarters for shoddy, unattractive packaging and indifferent remastering, but less discriminating consumers found them perfectly acceptable, since they offered a lot of music at a reasonable price. By the mid-'90s, Motown eventually phased these discs out of print, replacing them with remastered individual discs, but some of the records never were re-released on CD, which made this series valuable for Motown collectors. This particular disc contained two fine Supremes compilations, More Hits and Sing Holland-Dozier-Holland. Since these are hits collections, there isn't any of the filler that plagued Motown studio albums, and it's a better, more consistent listen, especially since this disc contains two complete records on one disc. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine, All Music Guide
