A very interesting best-of, if only because it also includes four tracks by the post-Diana Ross incarnation of the Supremes. This featured Jean Terrell (sister of Marvin Gaye song partner Tammi Terrell) as leader--only Mary Wilson remained from the original group.
The most notable track in this regard is "Nathan Jones," remade in the '80s by Banarama. It's a wildly imaginative psychedelic pop blues (check out the phasing on the vocals) that combines melody with mystery in a truly remarkable way. It's arguably one of the best singles released by either version of the group. That's not to stint the Ross-sung tracks here, however, particularly "Nothing But Heartaches," which remains among the most dramatic of the Supremes chart hits.
