Helen Willemse 20th Jun 2022		CD Album Diana Ross And The Supremes - Greatest Hits (1990)	This is a reissue of Greatest Hits 1988 Duchesse label. CD 352027
Helen Willemse 19th Jun 2022		CD Album Diana Ross - Red Hot Rhythm And Blues (1987)	love the alternates on the US album, in those days you could never just buy one or the other. You had to buy the European and US albums to get all the tracks plus the alternated mixes. USA Dirty Looks is a bit longer and different from the EU album version. However, in the Dutch stores we hardly ever got the long boxes. It made them cooler than the EU versions... but the stores often destroyed them or "lost" them. Love to see the long box on this one in the pics... awesome photo's!
Helen Willemse 19th Jun 2022		CD Album Diana Ross And The Supremes - The Never-Before-Released Masters (1987)	@Leonard pic nr. 3010025 is the third page of the booklet :-) Everything is oké now!
Helen Willemse 19th Jun 2022		CD Album Diana Ross And The Supremes - The Never-Before-Released Masters (1987)	@Leonard: added the "spread" as book 1 and 2 front cover as Frontneverbefore the one called "booklet" may be deleted. Looks like we both had a bad day/night LOL! I did the same for: https://www.45worlds.com/cdalbum/cd/wd72597 You'll see it when you get there. If you want me to do the same for the rest, let me know.
Helen Willemse 18th Jun 2022		CD Album Diana Ross And The Supremes - The Never-Before-Released Masters (1987)	People, something went wrong!! For some reason I added the wrong covers :-o Must be the heat.... so very sorry (again!)
Helen Willemse 18th Jun 2022		CD Album Diana Ross - Dance Songs (1985)	Weird chopped up disappointing album. Called K-Tel about the chopped up tracks and they said they got the tapes like that from Motown. I will never forget that... I think they were covering up their own mistakes.
Helen Willemse 17th Jun 2022		CD Album Diana Ross - All The Great Love Songs (1984)	I see you see my doubts... all these years I have it listed as Japan in my collector program. Just changed it too UK on my computer. You may both be right.... this stuff makes me dizzy :-p
Helen Willemse 17th Jun 2022		CD Album Diana Ross - All The Great Love Songs (1984)	This is a misprint... check out the text on the back.. you almost need 3D glasses to read it LOL! That may explain the little hole in the back cover. What do you guys say: US or UK?
Helen Willemse 17th Jun 2022		CD Album Diana Ross - Eaten Alive (1985)	I think this is a double? Higher up on the list with date august 23rd
Helen Willemse 16th Jun 2022		CD Album Diana Ross - Portrait (1985)	Tracklisting on the cover is wrong... I have entered the right order.
Helen Willemse 16th Jun 2022		CD Album Diana Ross - Icon (2012)	Should this not be Motown? Distribution is the part where it is distributed around the EU or US etc. Not the label..
Helen Willemse 16th Jun 2022		CD Album Diana Ross And The Supremes - Motown Legends (1990)	Released in 1977 as Motown Special.
Helen Willemse 16th Jun 2022		CD Album Diana Ross - All The Great Hits (2011)	Overpriced loudness war victim. 62 euro's with the promise it would be great. Boy did I get the shock of my life. Trust me, stick to the first pressing or better yet: the LP! I was playing a normal CD before this one, it is so loud.. the first notes of the piano woke the cats up and gave me heart attack LMAO!! It's nice for the collection but the price definitely is not! Booklet is the same as the 2000: 96k / 24-bit it even has the same text in it. it's stuck to the cardboard so I did not want to risk damaging it.
Helen Willemse 15th Jun 2022		CD Album Tamia - Tamia (1998)	@ Magic Marmalade, Peppercorn waves back but I can't place pic here hahahaha! Thanks for correcting my stupid error :-)
Helen Willemse 15th Jun 2022		CD Album Tamia - Tamia (1998)	@ Gregs45s, there you go :-)
Helen Willemse 15th Jun 2022		CD Album Michael Masser - Mahogany (2000)	Got the same CD but the background color on the disc is bright yellow.
Helen Willemse 15th Jun 2022		CD Album Diana Ross And The Supremes - The No 1's (2004)	PhilMH, I always wondered about the chopped heads... it was the first to be released in the Netherlands... bought it because they said the tracks were a bit different. On the EU version however... normal versions but at least they still got their heads. What idiot came up with chopping heads?? rolls eyes On some Dutch sites this album is called The No.1's expanded edition. I asked them if they knew the old version, no answer of course. This version on this page came later in NL, I bought it just have the heads :-p And then there is this so called "special edition" with the same tracklisting -_-
Helen Willemse 15th Jun 2022		CD Album Diana Ross - Lady Sings The Blues (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack) (1988)	Set the date to 1988 June 1st... if I find out the exact date, will correct it. It's too bad that one can not add notes afterwards, once the album is saved. If someone thinks he/she has the right release date, make sure to check the two cat. nrs and barcode first ;-) PhilMH, correct whatever I missed or did wrong. Sandbrain is my nickname by friends LOL!
Helen Willemse 14th Jun 2022		CD Album Diana Ross - Lady Sings The Blues – Original Motion Picture Soundtrack (1985)	PhilMH, been a Diana/Supremes collector for a long time.... I am using a program called Music Collector for years, you can put in a whole lot of info into it. Had this listed as 1986 because of Discogs, until today... for some reason I only just noticed the different cat. nr. today... bought the CD somewhere in the 80's... Every time a DR CD was released I bought it, some I ditched and bought newer versions of because they sounded better. Back in the day some CD's sounded like they were recorded in a can LOL! A nightmare is the right word for those cat. nrs.. man, since I rediscovered this site I am digging into the CD's and LP's again I am seeing things that drive me crazy hahaha! On the bright side, it is a good distraction from life right now. Gives the brain something else to worry about. Do you remember when in about one year time Polygram left and Universal stepped in and the entire back catalogue was rereleased...again (we need a tired smiley here). I had just bought The Boss remaster and a few months later it was released AGAIN... this time with bonus tracks. For a moment I stopped buying reissues, too much of the same. Untill the expanded stuff came yaaay! Anyway, thanks for your explanation :-)
Helen Willemse 14th Jun 2022		CD Album Diana Ross And The Supremes - The Rodgers & Hart Collection (1987)	@PhilMH, did I enter it as Germany? Probably because I was staring at the "Made In Germany" words. Of course it was released in more than one EU country at the time including UK which was sort of part of the EU. I can't remember what flag I entered if you corrected it, thanks!! :-) Shame it didn't make it to Australia.. would have been one to add to my collection LOL!
Helen Willemse 14th Jun 2022		CD Album Diana Ross - Lady Sings The Blues – Original Motion Picture Soundtrack (1985)	I have a real weird one here: Cat. Nr. on cover: MCD09046MD Cat. Nr. on CD: MOTD-758 Barcode: 050109904624 Both package and disc say: Made in USA Distribution MCA. Inner ring says made by JVC Text on disc is blue Does anyone have a clue as to when this was released? I've always thought it was a 1986 release. This thing is driving me nuts LOL! I have had this album for ages.. never noticed the different cat. nr on the disc LOL!
Helen Willemse 14th Jun 2022		CD Album Diana Ross And The Supremes - 25th Anniversary (1986)	On the EU release there is an error in the Coke Commercials. There is one Coke Commercial on it, tracknumber changes during the one track. Very strange.. I remember it was on sale very fast after release, we would soon learn why. Bit of a bummer if you bought for full price just shortly before.
Helen Willemse 14th Jun 2022		CD Album Diana Ross And The Supremes - 25th Anniversary (1986)	Barcode 050109538126 taken from the longbox that came with it. Unfortunately the cardboard box did not survive time. Oh bloody h*ll... here is another one; on my discs::: MOTD-5381 -_- Covers; same as this submission ... am not going to submit this one because of a different number on the discs. Am going to coffee and let this one slide LMAO! At least mine is not saying "reprinted with permission" on the back of the backcovers.
Helen Willemse 14th Jun 2022		CD Album Diana Ross And The Supremes And The Temptations - T.C.B. (1989)	Got mine in 1986, has a different cat. number on the front cover (top right) MS-171V1. Should I submit this release? Anything else is the same, even the left overs from the 2 on 1 release LOL! I do recall MCA rereleased the entire series twice
Helen Willemse 14th Jun 2022		CD Album Florence Ballard - The Supreme Florence Ballard (2001)	1-14 = unreleased ABC Records LP: You Don't Have To
Helen Willemse 14th Jun 2022		CD Album The Supremes - The Ultimate Merry Christmas (2017)	Mary and Florence were on vacation according to sources, no Supremes there on the original album. The Andantes filled in for the 2 ladies. This happened a lot, on a lot of albums there are no Supremes LOL! Silver Bells is a solo recording on the mono version.
Helen Willemse 14th Jun 2022		CD Album Diana Ross And The Supremes - Reflections (2007)	Most of these tracks were recorded with Florence Ballard and as The Supremes. Tracks 1, 7, 9, 11 were recorded before 1968. Tracks 3 + 5 = Diana Ross & The Andantes
Helen Willemse 14th Jun 2022		CD Album Diana Ross And The Supremes - Greatest Hits Volume 1 + 2 (1986)	I never understood why the CD was titled Vol 1 + 2.... it was a double album simply released as Greatest Hits. No numbers on the cover. All tracks recorded by the call sign THE SUPREMES but released as Diana Ross & The Supremes. Gordy probably didn't want to pay Florence Ballard for her work? Anyway, this album was rereleased as GOLD in 2005 as a double CD with Greatest Hits 3 and 70"s Supremes At Their Best. I have yet to see the original LP's sold as Vol 1 and 2 as 2 separate... never seen it, never found it. But Motown was lazy when CD's were coming up.. never bothered to release them as the originals were. But at least they could sell the CD as a 2 for 1 ;-)
Helen Willemse 13th Jun 2022		CD Album The Supremes - A Bit Of Liverpool (1989)	Reissue of the 1986 release, they didn't even bother to correct the back and inside cover in 1989? They just used the cover of the 2 for ones again. Print on disc is a bit different
Helen Willemse 13th Jun 2022		CD Album The Supremes - Unreleased Tracks (1995)	CD's from these labels were sold in record/CD stores... out and in the open in Belgium and the Netherlands. It was not rated as a bootleg in most EU countries. There are other labels that produce albums like this and look just as bootleggie as this one. Wouldn't worry about the format, it's a CD not CDR. This label has released many CD's from Motown and other artists, all by the book :-) Additional info on the tracks: 01 Let Me Go The Right Way - Live At The Apollo 1963 Mono The Supremes. 02 Are You Sure Love Is The Name Of This Game 1968 Mono Diana Ross & The Supremes 03 Come On And See Me 1966 The Supremes. 04 It's All Your Fault - Previously Unreleased 1965 The Supremes. 05 Ooowee Baby 1964 Mono The Supremes. 06 Send Me No Flowers 1964 Mono The Supremes. 07 Come On Boy 1963 Mono The Supremes. 08 Those DJ Shows 1961 Mono The Supremes. 09 Surfer Boy 1965 Mono* The Supremes. 10 Stay In My Lonely Arms 1967 Mono* The Supremes. Motown's Brightest Stars 1986 11 The Tears 1961 Mono Mary Wilson & The Supremes Motown's Brightest Stars 1986 12 Penny Pincher 1964 Mono The Supremes. 13 Heigh-Ho 1967 Mono Diana Ross & The Supremes 14 Do You Love Me 1964 Mono The Supremes. 15 Can't Buy Me Love 1964 Mono The Supremes. 16 I Want To Hold Your Hand 1964 Mono The Supremes 17 Chain Gang 1965 The Supremes. 18 You've Really Got A Hold On Me 1964 Mono The Supremes. 19 Take Me Where You Go 1965 Mono The Supremes. 20 Jonny Und Joe 1965 Mono The Supremes. 21 Baby, Baby, Wo Ist Unsere Liebe 1965 Mono The Supremes. 22 Chi Mi Aiutera - Italian/English 1966 The Supremes. 23 L'amore Verra' 1966 The Supremes. 24 Mother You, Smother You - Demo Record A Record With 1966 Mono* Christine Schumacher; The Supremes. 25 Coca-Cola Commercial 1965 Mono The Supremes. 26 Supremes Interview 1965 Mono The Supremes. 27 We Couldn't Get Along Without You 1966 Mono The Supremes. Tracklisting is a bit off on the CD cover.
