More Hits By The Supremes [Vinyl]

More Hits By The Supremes has many virtues, but two stand out: the increasingly distinctive, confident sound of the trio, one year after the release of their first chart-topper, and the remarkable creativity of the other trio involved in its making, Holland/Dozier/Holland. Diana Ross, Mary Wilson and Florence Ballard were now bona fide superstars as this, their fifth album, was released on July 23, 1965. They had become the first recording act in history to achieve five No. 1 singles within twelve months, and these young women were now as individually identifiable by music fans worldwide as the four members of the Beatles, whose “Eight Days A Week” was knocked off the chart summit by “Stop! In The Name Of Love” that March.

More Hits By The Supremes became one of the group’s six Top 10 albums on the Billboard pop rankings, peaking at No. 6 in October ’65 and enjoying a 37-week chart run. It was initially released as a vinyl LP in mono and stereo, and subsequently on tape (cassette and 8-track cartridge) and compact disc, including a CD coupling with The Supremes Sing Holland-Dozier-Holland.
