If you're looking for nostalgia, don't buy this album. Go for the "Ultimate Collection" by Diana Ross and the Supremes. The latter album has all the songs that this one does plus many more! If I had been more aware of this, I would not have bothered with this one!

There are a number of far superior compilations for them, including Anthology and Ultimate Collection. This is simply not worth your time or money.

Excellent package of all 12 of their #1 hits. Only thing better would be one of their anthology or "best of" cds that have all of their hits included.

The Supremes produced some great music in the 60's, and this is a good collection of it, even if it lacks some of their songs. Definitely deserves a solid four stars.

It would have been awesome if "Ain't no mountain high enough" were on the cd but still a must have.

"1964/1969 The Supremes Billboard Top Pop # 1 Singles" should the accurate tittle of this release that's merely a batch of honor of the legendary, complex, talented Motown trailblazers!

The Supremes have far much sophisticated material than the one placed in this compilation, this is their "commercial achievement" not their artistic diversity. If your looking for the second move to the 1970's Supremes, post Diana Ross when the group returned to its original format of "FEMALE TRIO" that was discarded in 1966/67 when Motown Berry Gordy to please his then new sexual muse Diana Ross under the contract that bind them restructured the group into "LEAD & BACKUP SINGERS" (musical dog & pony show Diana Ross & The Supremes) forever keeping Florence Ballard, Mary Wilson & later Cindy Birdsong who would replace Florence as she would not stand for the charade that kept them forever under Diana's shadow!

After Diana Ross achieved her well documented manipulative take over and by 1969 abandon the group for her "solo" career with the arrival of Jean Terrell, Cindy Birdsong together with THE QUINTESSENTIAL SUPREME Mary Wilson will see the group reach new artistic glory that can be also found here under Motown/Universal-Hip-O-Select releases like "The Supremes - This Is The Story 1970-1973 The Jean Terrell Years" & "The Supremes - The Final Sessions" & don't forget another release "Magnificent" a full compilation that team them up with "The Four Tops"

I wouldn't settle for the material that radio has been hammering for over four decades now, there's so much to The Supremes to discover, enjoy the ride!
