"Following the release of the Diana Ross & The Supremes 25th Anniversary Collection, a series of Motown Legends CDs and Audio Cassettes were released including bonus tracks on the CD versions.Disc 2 of this set was first released as the Motown Legend series as Come See About Me; was re-released as a series of Motown Classics and in 2005 the Motown Legend version as Rock On Breakout Years-1964. That version comes with a slip cover of a rare early photo of the Supremes singing Stop! In the Name Of Love on Hollywood Palace. Disc 2 of this set was released as the Motown Legend series as My World Is Empty Without You. Both included unreleased material from the 25th Anniversary Collection. A third Motown Legends series release, Stoned Love was a 70's Supremes collection that has as it cover picture a shot of the original Supremes. This compilation's first disc replaces that disc with 10 singles covering the first US top 100 hit, Your Heart Belongs To Me through the first single with Jean Terrell as lead singer, Up The Ladder To The Roof. The sound of this compilation is superb! However, the packaging needs to be improved because the front and back covers are not printed in the same manner, which is confusing when trying to open and close the outside packaging that can be opened from either side. Also, the song listing for the first disc in the enclosed booklet does not match the song play list on the cover of the outside packaging. The CDs come in a tri-fold wallet with hard crytal trays. The booklet includes classic photos of the original Supremes and an essay that is up to date, but erroneously states all the US 12 #1 hits are in the collection. The other packaging woe is that the face plates for discs 2 and 3 are printed as the original Motown Legend releases, indicating bonus CD tracks. The Supremes are Forever Legends and a worthy of a collection with better packaging. But, for the collector and those who are buying their first Supremes CDs you won't be disappointed with the legacy of these fine recordings including 16 singles, 7 of which reached #1 on the US Charts,rare recordings and covers of pop and Motown hits."

I'd love to know what tracks are on this

"Dear Amazon,



It's very difficult to purchase a box set of music when you don't list the ****ing track names that are on the discs."

"I love the Supremes, next to Elvis, they are my favorite vocal artists and I have just about everything song that you can purchase of them. I purchased this box set as a collector's item. I have all the songs on this set on other CDs. The tracks sound great but I discovered that only the first CD is new, the other two were released before individually from the Polygram Special Markets Company in the '90's. Still, I love the box set and the Supremes recordings are still great even after forty years or close to it. Supremes' fans would love this set."
