LIMITED EDITION QUANTITY: 2000 Copies

In our continuing series of reissued and expanded Motown albums comes another 2-CD edition of a Supremes classic: I Hear A Symphony, a top ten Pop album and No. 1 R&B chart album in 1965. The limited edition set includes the original mono and stereo editions of the album —with the TRUE stereo version of the LP available for the first time ever on CD — that feature the smash hits “I Hear A Symphony” and “My World Is Empty Without You,” as well as the standards “Stranger In Paradise” and “With A Song In My Heart”; and covers of the Beatles’ “Yesterday,” the Righteous Brothers’ “Unchained Melody” and the Toys’ “A Lover’s Concerto.” (Fans will note that the mono edition of the album features alternate vocals of the better-known “stereo” LP.) Then there are the amazing bonus tracks…

I Hear A Symphony: Expanded Edition contains several more extra goodies: alternate vocals and extended mixes, and an additional song “All Of A Sudden (My Heart Sings),” recorded for but not included on the original album. Disc Two contains a complete and spectacular unreleased live show recorded at Detroit’s famed Roostertail. The September 1966 performance features seven songs from I Hear A Symphony; full versions of Supremes hits “Stop! In The Name Of Love,” “Back In My Arms Again” and “Come See About Me,” among others; plus more standards, among them their show-stoppers “Somewhere,” “You’re Nobody ’Til Somebody Loves You” and “People,” which has lead vocals by all three Supremes: Diana Ross, Florence Ballard and Mary Wilson.

Rounding the set out is a beautiful 20-page booklet with rare and never-before-seen photos, an essay by reissue co-producer George Solomon and the continuing Supremes timeline by co-producer Andrew Skurow.
