Horrible Remastering! Horrible Track Selection!

"I purchased this CD because it looked cool and Diana Ross is my favorite singer. I was not expecting such a shoddy product!Complaint #1: BAD SOUND! Whoever remastered this used noise reduction which is an absolute no-no. The result is an icy, glassy, slightly robotic sound that is audibly discernible. As the songs fade out, it sounds like seagulls are flying away! Where is the guru Bill Inglot when you need him? Complaint #2: Bad track selection! In fact, it is an INACCURATE track selection! Disc 3 features 6 songs by The Supremes after Diana Ross left the group. This is bizarre and unfair to both Diana Ross AND The Supremes. True fans know who sang which songs, but what a disservice to do something like this, and not even mention it in the (skimpy) liner notes.In summary, if you want a great 2-disc set of Diana Ross, get "The Motown Anthology" (released in 2001). And if you want a good 2-disc set of the 70s Supremes, get "The Supremes: The 70s Anthology" (2002)."

BEWARE

"If I could, I wouldn't give a single star. Don't be a fool--this could be considered commercial cheating. In fact, the bonus CD has nothing to do with Diana Ross at all! And the person who wrote the liner notes was even intelligent enough not to sign. There's much better than this; this is going very low."

"This must be one the most annoying collection of Ms. Ross. There has been so many collections of Ms Ross. Most of these release are repeatative. I think the best collection I have ever bought recently is Diana Ross - The Mowtown Anthology and To Love Again and Diana Ross - Diana (Deluxe Edition) I loved the alternate and unreleased versions of certain songs. Universal start releasing some creative and rare collections of Diana Ross work. I hope Universal Records are reading these reviews."
