Product Description
This exclusive Select edition of this album includes an incredible 14 bonus tracks, more than the original LP, and heres how: weve added two more songs from the original LP sessions, including People, featuring Flo, and I Am Woman, You Are Man, different than the later version released on The Supremes Sing And Perform Funny Girl; three songs from another legendary unreleased album, A Tribute to The Girls, which was discovered to be unfinished; an outtake from I Hear A Symphony, All Of A Sudden My Heart Sings, originally from the film Anchors Aweigh, here produced by Holland-Dozier, who also produced seven of the eight tracks included here from another unfinished unreleased album, The Supremes And The Motown Sound: From Broadway To Hollywood. Total: nearly 78 minutes of music from the Motown archives, 26 tracks, only 9 of which have been issued and spread around various collections before.All of this beautiful music comes in a deluxe digipak, with a new essay, detailed recording annotations and many rare and never-before-seen photos of the one and only Supremes.

 *C*H*A*R*M*I*N*G* Collection of the American Songbook April 10, 2008
THERE'S A PLACE FOR US by the Supremes might not be everyone's cup of tea, particularly those who are used to hearing the Motown sound from this group, but it's fantastic nonetheless.
If nothing else, THERE'S A PLACE FOR US shows off the versatility that was the Supremes as Diana Ross, Mary Wilson, and Florence Ballard tackle American standards like "Put On A Happy Face," "You're Nobody Till Somebody Loves You," and "Strangers In The Night," putting their stamp on the songs without losing any of the original familiarity.
They also handle beloved Broadway favorites like "People" and "The Sound Of Music" with ease, sounding right at home.
Hip-O-Select has done a fantastic job (again) remastering the tracks and they sound as if they were recorded yesterday.
If you enjoy listening to standards and Broadway showtunes, you'll like THERE'S A PLACE FOR US.
Don't Pass This Up! March 27, 2008
This is the sound of three young friends doing what they loved to do - their feelings of excitement and joy can clearly be heard in their voices.
The harmonies in this album are pristine, creative and unique. Leads are shared and the three perform as a group in the same vein as highlighted in the albums "Where Did Our Love Go", "More Hits By The Supremes" and "The Supremes Sing Holland-Dozier-Holland" - when the group (Mary, Flo and Diane) was truly a "group" in every sense of the word!

After listening to this CD I understand why Motown never released it. It was out of Diana's range at the time.. I love Diana Ross but this IS NOT Diana at her best!!
One Of A Kind October 8, 2007
This is the Supremes as you've never heard them - singing standards. A treasure of classics.
what a find! September 9, 2007

i bought this re-release on a lark. and i am so happy i did. i never knew there was a 'lost' album of the supremes. i was positive that most unreleased material had found its way out on box sets or as bonus tracks on album re-released to cd.
i am most happy for one track and one track only. 'our day will come' features mary wilson on lead vocals. that smoky, silky voice is one of the most seductive in 1960s soul music next to dusty springfield, mary wells and that woman that sang leads for sergio mendes. she has always had the uncanny ability to make me feel like she is singing just for me and i treasure that aspect of her style the most.
that said, i wish there were one more track that featured florence ballard besides 'people'. i can still hear that and think that berry gordy was just way too out of line not to let her sing leads more often. where wilson was chiffon velvet, ballard was fire and diamonds. it would have been great to rest the silvery tingle of diana ross more often. as least the re-releases let that happen. sadly, there will come a time when everything is out and there's no more to look forward to.
let's hope they spread it all out over a 50-year period.
