For the first time ever, on the occasion of the group's 50th anniversary, every single from the legendary Diana Ross & the Supremes is now in one package--the 3-CD box set 50th Anniversary: The Complete Singles 1961-1969, featuring every A- and B- side, from the very beginning to their triumphant farewell, when lead singer Diana Ross left for a solo career.
Included are the group's 14 No. 1 Pop and R&B hits, from "Where Did Our Love Go" to "Someday We'll Be Together," and the smashes in-between--the iconic "Baby Love" and "Stop! In The Name Of Love," the controversial "Love Child," "I'm Gonna Make You Love Me," a duet with the Temptations. With these hits, the Supremes--Ms. Ross, Mary Wilson and Florence Ballard, who was replaced in 1967 by Cindy Birdsong--broke down social barriers and became cultural icons. They were the first American group to have five consecutive No.1 pop hits, representing Motown as a classic American success story, and were a beacon of beauty and class during a tumultuous decade.
Because it's "Complete," the beautifully packaged 3-CD box set also includes the early, though beloved, flops, when the "girls" were known around Motown as the "no-hit Supremes"--among them the rarities "Buttered Popcorn," featuring Flo, and "Your Heart Belongs To Me," a thinly veiled love letter to a boyfriend in Vietnam issued in 1962, well before the topic was reflected in popular music. It also includes rare alternate pressings, promotional releases including a group interview and a theme to a cult film, and much more. Also included: the much sought-after foreign language singles.
Diana Ross & the Supremes - 50th Anniversary: The Complete Singles 1961-1969 is housed in packaging similar to the acclaimed series The Complete Motown Singles, accompanied by a booklet filled with detailed information about each single, reproductions of spectacular-looking picture sleeves from around the world, and classic and rare photos of the world's greatest female group of all time.

Are you kidding me! A MUST have (both)!
I must of course have these both for my evergrowing Diana collection!
I hope there will be more deluxe editions in the future of Diana´s solo albums. And why on earth are there almost no Diana DVDs out there? Surely it is long overdue to release (for example) her 1983 Central Park concert, as well as a decent, official release of her 1979 show in Vegas (to name a few!).
Anyways, I am very much looking forward to these new Supremes releases! The DVD should be a fun watch - I already have the Reflections DVD, which is absolutely fantastic!
The album I would very much love to see re-released is this little oddity: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_Bit_of_Liverpool
