Editorial Reviews and Product Descriptions
Amazon.com
The title is a bit of a misnomer: The Supremes are anthologized in more comprehensive fashion on Motown's three-volume Greatest Hits series, while this package is denser, and has a higher hit-per-track ratio. But if you'd rather pick up one collection than three, and if you want a good, thorough skimming of cream from the group's catalog, this is the better choice. All of the familiar songs are here, with no major omissions--and they're packed in with a liberal helping of second-magnitude hits. For a collection that samples only the extreme top end of the Supremes' output, there's Every Great No. 1 Hit, also on Motown. It's missing a lot, but it delivers exactly what it promises. --Gavin McNett

I am writing this review on the assumption that you are familiar with the musical offerings of this legendary girl group inducted into the R&R Hall of Fame in 1988, and whose hits and top performances are well covered in any of the other 5-star reviews here.
My purpose in submitting this is to inform you that it is but one of a wonderful series from Motown. However, a search in Music under the heading Ultimate Collection will garner you thousands of hits, and even searching in Album Title will result in quite a few, ranging from Benny Hill and George Formby to 10cc and The Who, and just about everyone in between. Even Motown uses Ultimate Collection on a number of their CDs, but the best of the lot where they are concerned is this series, each with 25 tracks and similar cover art by David Irvin, and involving The Four Tops, Smokey Robinson & The Miracles, The Marvelettes, Martha (Reeves) & The Vandellas, Jr. Walker & The All Stars, Gladys Knight & The Pips, and Mary Wells.
It would seem, judging by the number of reviews submitted to date for each that Diana Ross & The Supremes were at the head of the Motown class in terms of public appeal. That might have been challenged had there been a release for each of Marvin Gaye, The Jackson 5, The Temptations and Stevie Wonder in this specific series but, alas, they were not included (or at least I haven't come across them). There are Jackson 5 and Temptations "Ultimate Collections" issued by Motown, but they don't follow this format. A Marvin Gaye Ultimate Collection is also available, but that is an import from the Dutch offices of Universal.
Forget the carping elsewhere about the sound quality. It is just fine, thank you, and as bonuses you get a complete discography of the contents, numerous photographs, and detailed liner notes, in this instance three pages by journalist Diane Marie Weathers.
One of the best such series available and may it never go out of circulation.
