Free Music Notes for Merry Christmas
Free Music Review: "Christmas Is The Best Time Of The Year"
Hit: 5 Stars
The above title is a quote from Mary, detailed in the three pages of liner notes written by Andrew Skurow. The full paragraph in question reads "The Supremes were in the midst of a record-breaking string of No. 1 hits when Motown's Harvey Fuqua, who had produced their We Remember Sam Cooke LP, brought the project to the ladies. "We were all ecstatic" remembers Mary. Her eyes dance when talking about the album. "Christmas is the best time of the year!"
Not only is there nothing in these notes to suggest that these are not the original renditions (albeit remastered), but a reproduction of the original LP cover shows "STEREO" in bold letters at the top. So, I'm not certain as to what that 2-star reviewer is alluding to in the criticism of the CD. Perhaps, as they sometimes did back then, they released two versions of the vinyl LP, one in mono and the other in stereo.
In any event, this contains the original 12 tracks, with 13 to 16 added in for the CD release. Tracks 13 and 16 were first released in 1987 on the compilation The Supremes Never-Before Released Masters, but both with a different mix, including an acapella performance of Silent Night. Track 14 first appeared on the Motown collection Christmas In The City in 1993, while track 15 was previously unreleased.
Two of the original cuts, Twinkle, Twinkle Little Me and The Children's Christmas Song, were also released as a single with the A-side reaching # 5 and the flip # 7 on the Billboard Christmas charts in 1965 on Motown 1085. Twinkle, Twinkle Little Me then re-charted at # 26 in 1966, and # 10 in 1967.
Several beautiful pictures of the girls are included in the fold-out insert, and on the one showing them on a toboggan Mary says" My favorite photo is of the three of us on the sled that we used on the back cover (of the LP). It wasn't part of the original session. We were shooting an episode for Dick Clark's TV series, Where The Action Is, at Big Bear Mountain in California. In between we took loads of photos on the slopes."
Just a great Christmas album to have in your collection.
Merry Christmas Poster
UK holiday release. Nothing says Christmas like spending the holidays with a real diva! So, this season, enjoy diva Diana and The Supremes with this festive platter featuring 12 classic Christmas tunes performed by Motown's most successful trio. Includes 'White Christmas', 'Jingle Bells', 'Santa Claus Is Coming To Town', 'My Favorite Things' and many more. Add a little spice and Soul to your holidays! Spectrum.You can consider the Supremes another 1960s supergroup on Motown, a label that boasted it was "the sound of young America." The Supremes always were dominated by the diva Diana Ross--even at Christmas. Fans should note, however, that the fantastic "Silent Night," a previously unreleased song, does feature Florence Ballard's lead vocal, a rare occasion when lady Di is not front and center. This updated version of the 1965 record includes its original 13 songs, plus 4 tunes not previously available in one set, including producer-songwriter Henry Fuqua's "Just a Lonely Christmas." Merry Christmas from the Supremes is rich with original songs by Jimmy Webb ("MacArthur Park") and includes other nontraditional songs such as "Born of Mary," "Twinkle Twinkle Little Me," and "Little Bright Star." Together with its seasonal standards and R&B-pop arrangements, it's pure Christmas fun. --Martin Keller
