Supremes This Is The Story: The '70S Albums, Vol. 1 1970-1973: The Jean Terrell Years CD

 This "Story" deserves a Pulitzer Prize
This set has been packaged in the style of a small autograph book. It opens to reveal pages of liner notes and other "memories of yesterday." Several rare or never-before-seen pictures (at least by the public) are included along with the three-CD set that covers all of the Jean Terrell-led Supremes albums minus the three that paired them with the Four Tops as The Magnificent Seven. In addition, there are tracks from what was proposed as the Promises Kept album. I actually saw a promo poster in record stores prior to the original scheduled release of the later shelved album. The sound on these discs is incredible! I have all of these albums as they were originally released on CD but the newer technology of today has yielded a better sounding product than those as now out-of-print CDs from the 1980s and 1990s were able to supply. I was able to hear background parts that I never heard before. The Jimmy Webb material is phenomenal. It shows the evolution of the group and a direction that was completely different from the Ross years and the Ross solo material of the same era. IMHO, Jean Terrell was on e of the best singers on the Motown roster, if not in the country during her reign. I saw her in person with the group more than a dozen times and she was always on point. This collection is a must-have. Only 5000 copies have been printed for this limited edition set. Once they're gone, you'll be at the mercy of eBayers.
