Wax Loves present a reissue of Meet The Supremes, originally released in 1962. Meet The Supremes is, not surprisingly, the debut album of one of the greatest groups in soul music history, The Supremes, led by the inimitable Diana Ross. Featuring the group's earliest singles "I Want A Guy", "Buttered Popcorn", "Your Heart Belongs To Me", and "Let Me Go The Right Way", none of which were chart smashes but have since become regarded as classics. Full of that early Motown sound the world knows and loves, this is a perfect entry point into the illustrious career of Diana Ross and The Supremes.

Not to be confused with the Supremes of Motown and Diana Ross fame, this Supremes were a male vocal group from Columbus, Ohio. They recorded the fantastic "Don't Leave Me Here to Cry" at Cosimo Matassa's famous studio in New Orleans in 1957, and the record certainly has a strong Crescent city flavor, especially in the shuffling rhythm track. On the flip, there is the beautiful ballad "Just For You & I", the pairing surely making this one of the best doo-wop double-siders ever.

"The debut album by Diana Ross' Supremes originally came out in late 1962, right after Motown's boss Berry Gordy signed them and changed their name (the group was previously referred to as 'The Primettes') and immediately before Barbara Martin left the band (which cost her being cut from the legendary '3 on the barstools' cover, and the loss of any royalties from the album). Mainly a collection of their early singles, Meet The Supremes features pure soul gems like 'I Want A Guy', 'Buttered Popcorn', '(He's) Seventeen' and many more little classics recorded by this quartet of seventeen year-olds who, although still far from the international star status they would soon achieve, helped pave the road to the definition of the classic 'Motown Sound'."
