AMAAAZING. I'm really excited for these releases. They were so great near the end. It's such a shame Motown constantly held them down those last few years before Scherrie and Susaye left.

I think it's criminal that "Bend A Little" was never released until just recently. That should have been the lead off single from Supremes 75. "It's All Been Said Before" was scheduled as the first single, it was even given a release number, and I hear Suzanne DePasse was pretty stoked about the song, but Mary nixed it because she wasn't signing lead on it... so "He's My Man" it was. Which was good, but I think "It's All Been Said Before" was better. This set has also got the version of "Give Out, But Don't Give Up" with Mary singing lead, which is WAY better than the Scherrie led version that got released. They had some gems of message songs as well, when you look at the negative mesages in Hip hop and rap today, and compare with this, it makes you wonder when the world went to hell:
