"You can't quarrel with the music on this C.D. but every time a new company inherits the Motown catalog we get the same albums with new titles (this is at least the sixth time this music has been reissued). Meanwhile, in the vaults, lie dozens and dozens and dozens of magical Supremes recordings with Diana Ross, Mary Wilson, Florence Ballard, Jean Terrell, Scherrie Payne and Susaye Greene on lead; solo turns by all these artists, including Florence's complete unreleased ABC album and its outtakes; dozens and dozens of incredible Martha and the Vandellas cuts, including an entire unreleased album, an unreleased Copa album that's incredible, and plenty of solo Martha; divine Marvelettes material and so on--ALL of it equal to anything that's been released over and over and over and over. I for one would like to hear and own it before I die. So MANY years have been wasted as this music languishes, unheard. Martha produced by Stevie, Diana produced by Smokey, Jean produced by Stevie, Wanda Rogers produced by Smokey. The Lost and Found albums were a beginning. Surely there's money to be made here beyond, yet again, oooooooo oooooooo ooooooooooo...."
2nd Millenium Installation even more Supreme than first

"Even though volume 1 of the 20th Century Masters contained some of the Supremes most memorable and recognizable hits, now those who have purchased it may be willing to buy the 2nd volume. Not only do they hear a continuation of hits with Diane Ross as the lead vocalist, but also of the young Miss Jean Terrell, who by far was a better lead vocalist for the Supremes (not many people knew that the Supremes continued after Diane left in 1970, due to the lack of promotion from the Motown family). The new Supremes debut single "Up The Ladder To The Roof" floored Diane's current solo single at the time "Reach Out And Touch", and continued with other songs included on the collection, such as "Nathan Jones" and "Stoned Love". Unfortunately, with each year, the Supremes gained less promotion (for one, the ED SULLIVAN SHOW closed the curtain, and he, for one, was a promoter of the Supremes). The 20th century masters should add a final and 3rd addition to the 70's Supremes string of hits that are treasured by Supremes fans to this day, including tracks with Scherrie Payne on lead vocals (who initially replaced Terrell in 1973), most notably "Where Do I Go From Here", "I'm Gonna Let My Heart Do The Walking (#40, billboard) and "Let Yourself Go". Even Susaye Greene (a Cindy Birdsong replacement) sang an excellent lead vocal on "High Energy", as well as several wonderful leads by original Supreme Mary Wilson. As a whole, the 2nd volume is worth buying, plus it will let a new generation hear a portion of the magic that continued after Miss Ross bolted for the door to pursue her solo career. My question is, "Will Motown stop remastering and re-issuing all of these worthless albums on CD that everyone ALREADY owns, such as "diana" and "The Boss" by Diane Ross, and possibly finally issue a few remasters of 70's Supremes albums that never had a chance to make it on CD, such as "Mary, Scherrie and Susaye", "High Energy", "The Supremes (1976)", and the other stuff that we WANT to hear and DO NOT ALREADY OWN THE SAME SONG OVER AND OVER ON EVERY CD that HAS been issued? No more "Greatest Hits"...get to the good stuff! Buy volume two, listen to the final 4 tracks and see what I mean!"
Good for a New Supreme Fan

"this a good start if you are just collecting the Supremes Hits collections 1&2.this second one is cool because they are showcasing the post Diana Ross Era.'Up The Ladder to the Roof" is one of there Best Songs ever they did.though Diana Ross left Her Stamp all over them you can Appreciate the last 4 songs as well."
