The 68 selections on this triple-disc title represent the most comprehensive overview ever to be assembled of the Supremes' early-'70s back catalog. In addition to the studio albums Right On (1970), New Ways But Love Stays (1970), Touch (1971), Supremes Arranged and Produced by Jimmy Webb (1972), and Floy Joy (1973), there are plenty of rarities too. Primarily, a baker's dozen taken from the shelved Promises Kept project circa 1971/1972 and a few one-off songs that appeared on vintage vinyl anthologies. This Is the Story: The '70s Albums, Vol. 1 1970-1973: The Jean Terrell Years (2007) begins once Diana Ross had left the group to pursue a solo career. Mary Wilson and Cindy Birdsong resumed their international success with Jean Terrell -- sister of heavyweight boxing champ Ernie Terrell -- quickly picking right back up where they had left off with Ross. "Up the Ladder to the Roof" and "Everybody's Got the Right to Love" from Right On became hits and instant classics. New Ways But Love Stays found the first ladies of Motown topping themselves with the follow-up "Stoned Love," which became a number one crossover pop and R&B smash. The album is likewise worth checking out for the covers of Simon & Garfunkel's "Bridge Over Troubled Water," the Beatles' "Come Together," and Steam's anthemic "Na, Na, Hey, Hey Kiss Him Goodbye." Touch supplied the trio with the songbook staple "Nathan Jones," while Floy Joy followed with the title track -- which became the vocalists' last Top 20 single after eight consecutive years.
The remainder of the box set makes its collective digital debut here. Chiefly, the collaborative effort that yielded the album titled Arranged and Produced by Jimmy Webb. Because of its scarcity, there is a certain mystique surrounding it. Webb himself even penned a liner essay specifically for the occasion. By his admission, creating the timeless version of Joni Mitchell's "All I Want" and the golden age of rock & roll oldie "Tossin' and Turnin'" were as exceptional to make as they are to hear. A real find for Motown lovers and collectors are the presentation of tunes completed for the infamous Promises Kept long-player. Finally after years of debate and speculation, listeners are treated to the Supremes' doing -- among other things -- a haunting and mesmerizing reading of the Beatles' "Eleanor Rigby" and Carole King's "It's Too Late." Additional cuts worth mentioning are the gospel-infused "May His Love Shine Forever," that was on the Rock Gospel: The Key to the Kingdom various-artists package. Plus, "Bad Weather" and an overhaul of the O'Jays' "Love Train" -- both from the mid-'70s At Their Best (1978) compilation. Hip-o Select has done an outstanding job of presenting the music in a lavish hardbound book that houses all three discs and 44 pages of liner notes with lots of appropriate eye candy. ~ Lindsay Planer This Is The Story: 70'S Albums Vol. 1: The Jean Terrell Music Average Rating: (4.4 out of 5 stars)   List All Reviews 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.

 A Classic Collection of Sweet Music!
It is very evident that when Diana Ross left the Supremes something very exciting was about to evolve in Supreme History. As Jean Terrell stepped up to take over as lead the singer, The Supremes experienced a new charge of energy. Jean Terrell hit many homeruns with the group. The new material was vibrant, exciting and very soulful. This is a wonderful piece of music that will be cherished until the end of time. The producers knew exactly what they were doing when they were writing material for Ms. Terrell. This kind of music is felt deep down inside the soul. What a great compilation of wonderful music that will bring you back to some of the most memorable moments of the 70's Supremes. It is worth every penny and then some. Go out and buy this collection and sit back and listen to a wonderful package of music. The 70's Supremes made such sweet music. I was hesistant at first to puchase these CD's but it was worth it and I am enjoying all the pleasures of great music!

THE STORY OF THE "REAL" DREAMGIRLS
What a pleasure to relive the 70s Supremes at their best!!! This is the packaging that should have been part of the Motown 70s Supremes box set; Hip-O-Select shows you what quality packaging is... A Book concept for "...THE STORY" and I can't wait for the story to continue with the Scherrie Payne years!!
EXCELLENT!!! EXCELLENT!!! EXCELLENT!!!

The book-like album case is the best idea ever...! For its written from, you'll get all the TRUE stories told by The Supremes themselves. The music side, the sound quality may not be perfect but you'll enjoy every note especially those 'rare materials'... So if you are going to buy this,make sure you'll keep is safe... because this is a part of the history... this is the story!

What a pleasure to sit back and play and enjoy these CDs; not sure which one is the best but for certain they are "The Supremes" at their BEST. This is a must have for ANY Supreme fan! The FLOS are great in reworking the originals but these are new and fresh recordings of 'The Ladies'. Thanks and all I can say is more, more, more!
