MORE INFO FROM ALLMUSIC.COM
Mr. Gordy's instincts about the versatility and crossover appeal was pretty much confirmed when the single, "Where Did Our Love Go" was promoted at the 3 major radio formats simultaneously in July 1964 (an extremely rare occurrence before we became "Civil Rights America". The previous single, "When the Lovelight Start Shining Through His Eyes" impressively became a penultimate #2 R&B chart hit. But the even more exciting news is that it made the Hot 100 Top 25....ultimately hitting #23. This paved the way for The Supremes to be viewed as a Pop/R&B group.
With their first #1 in pocket, the second soon to be, The Supremes became the American Ambassadores friendly rivaling The Beatles British Invasion Crusade. Diana's infectious enthusiasm disarmed the limited minded bigots they might encounter. In fact, the girls were warmly embraced across Europe, Africa, Asia, South America and the Anglosphere territories. Underscoring the fun and magic, internationally, the album was entitled, "With Love, From The Supremes.
Releasing a direct music confrontation, "A Little Bit of Liverpool" was The Supremes response to The Beatles taking on the Motown Sound on "The Second Beatles Album". Probably the most striking marketing move was the way the girls were styled in traditional British suits posing in front of the original EMI International offices (Diana remains an EMI artist from 1962-present...ironically so has McCartney for most of his career).....
