The Supremes were hot in the mid-'60s, and Motown tried to capitalize on the trio's success. And why not? Where Did Our Love Go? almost aced the Pop 200 album chart, zooming to number two. Its successor, More Hits by the Supremes, did almost as well (it went to number six). An album of British remakes titled A Bit of Liverpool surprised everyone by going to number 21 -- unheard of achievements for an R&B or soul act, so an album with America's darlings singing songs by the late Sam Cooke seemed a good bet. But despite its relevance -- Cooke was killed in December 1964 -- it only went to number 75. The public took this baby for granted and so did Motown, who didn't even release a single from this collection. The Supremes performed a Sam Cooke medley on the successful (number 11) The Supremes Live at the Copa to heartfelt applause. Diana Ross, Mary Wilson, and Florence Ballard's sweet renditions of "You Send Me," "Cupid," and "Bring It on Home to Me" sound like winners, not to mention the party animals: "Chain Gang," "Shake," "Having a Party," and the delightful "Wonderful World."

 (EXCERPT FROM AN ONLINE REVIEW BY ANDREW HAMILTON, ALL MUSIC GUIDE  /ALLMUSIC.COM/)

A TRIVIA QUIZ: WHAT WAS THE ONLY AMERICAN BAND THAT COULD SUCCESSFULLY COMPETE WITH THE BEATLES AT THE PEAK OF BRITISH INVASION?...The band that had an unbroken string of # 1 hits at a time when climbing up to # 50 on US charts was a metaphysical concept for most American groups? If you answered Beach Boys...BEEP!!! You were wrong (how silly of you - why would we ask trivia question on Beach Boys in a Supremes auction?).The answer is: Supremes, of course.This ORIGINAL Motown LP is a tribute to the just-departed king of Soul, Mr. Soul himself - Sam Cooke. It is one of the girls' rarest albums ever and includes their reworking of the Cooke's gorgeous "A Change is gonna come", plus 10 other songs. .Track listing: You send me - Nothing can change this love - Cupid - Chain Gang - Bring it on home to me - Only 16 - Havin' a party - Shake - Wonderful World - A change is gonna come - Ain't that good news.

·                               CONDITION:

·                               THE RECORD

(IMPORTANT NOTE: unless otherwise noted, ALL records are graded visually, and NOT play-graded!; we  grade records under the strong, diffuse room light or discrete sunlight)

(a)          WE GRADE THE VINYL AS NEAR MINT. The original luster is very much intact, and the vinyl shines and sparkles almost like new.

(b)          The record has a "deep groove" (an indent in the label about 1/2-inch from the edge of the label, which on SOME labels is associated with very early or first pressings).

(c)           The record is pressed on a beautiful, thick, inflexible vinyl, which was usually used for the first or very early pressings. Usually, the sound on such thick vinyl pressings is full-bodied, vivid, and even dramatic. Do not expect to obtain such a majestic analog sound from a digital recording!

(d)          Of course, this is a full-bodied ANALOG recording, and not an inferior, digital recording!!!

·                               THE COVER

COVER IS STRONG NEAR MINT,  STILL IN ITS ORIGINAL ►SHRINK WRAP

The following flaws or imperfections are noted on the cover:

-        Cover has JUST A HINT of ring wear (nothing significant); On the scale from 1 to 10 (1 being the least, and  10 being the most severe), we assess the severity of ring wear as 1.  (VISIBLE ON BACK SIDE ONLY)  

-        Cover shows JUST A HINT of yellowing on both sides, apparently from aging.

NO OTHER VISIBLE FLAWS OR IMPERFECTIONS ON THE  COVER
