AARGH! The CD case lists the complete album versions of "Love Hangover" and "Ain't No Mountain High Enough," but the idiots at Motown put the 45rpm versions of these songs on the album. I hope this is a temporary screwup and not an intentional lie. The CD is only 61 minutes long; surely there is room for the complete album versions (which would result in about seven extra minutes of music). The two stars are for the music, which is wonderful, of course. But somebody's head should roll at Motown for stating that the complete album versions of these songs are on this CD, since they are not! This is the reason I bought this CD! Conveniently, there is no "quality control" number at Motown listed on this CD; nor is there a web site. Disgraceful! I hope Ms. Ross is reading this!

She wan't the first legendary black performer, but she most certainly is the most successful. This set, a revamped, remastered issue of the original 1981 LP, chronicles the stylish post-Supremes singles that elevated Diana Ross from 60's pop sensation to 70's and 80's superstar. All the really big hits are here: the early soulful Ashford and Simpson collaborations ("Reach Out And Touch," "Ain't No Mountain High Enough," "Remember Me,"), her trademark dramatic ballads ("It's My Turn," "Touch Me In The Morning," "Theme From 'Mahogany'," "Endless Love"), and her blood pumping dance records ("The Boss," "Love Hangover," "I'm Coming Out," "Upside Down"). This edition of the album adds two of Ross' more daring hits--the swingin' "Last Time I Saw Him" and her heart-stopping rendition of Billie Holiday's "Good Morning Heartache" from 'Lady Sings The Blues,' neither of which, oddly enough, made the cut the first time. While the new "Motown Anthology" covers much more ground, and her RCA hits are nowhere to be found, "All The Great Hits" gives fans the songs that launched a solo icon.

Just got my copy today and it contains the album versions of "Love Hangover" and "Ain't No Mountain High Enough." I highly recommend the cd, the sound quality is excellent.

The previous reviewer beat me to it but it bears repeating... this version does NOT contain the extended versions of Love Hangover and Ain't No Mountain High Enough. Don't be fooled by the CD label. A big disappointment.

I have had this album on the original '91 cd reissue for 10 years. Originally, when I was 12 years old, my Mom's boyfriend at the time tried to win me over by giving me a boombox and some of his Motown and R&B cassettes. This was what first introduced me to Diana Ross, beyond the Supremes hits I heard on the oldies station at the time. I cried the first time I heard "Touch Me In The Morning". It moved me in that little girl's heart kind of way, (although at 12 the lyric "touch me" made me blush). I loved this cassette and never quit listening to it.

To this day, I think it is the single best Diana Ross one-disc compilation. The remastered sound on the '91 was TERRIFIC to begin with, so I don't understand why people are saying that this reissue of the reissue has better sound, unless it is a little louder.

However, I feel that the Supremes medley was wonderful! The songs flow in an emotionally appropriate way and her best work with the Supremes is in it. And thank god it does not have the tacky canned beats added in like they did with the first Supremes medley! This medley fits better than the two newly added cuts because originally, this cd was about half artful disco (7 cuts) and half lush ballads (7 cuts) + the Supremes medley. To add "Last Time..." and "Heartache" messes it up a little because one is country/swing and the other is jazz. And also, "God Bless The Child" is in my opinion much better, though it wound up on the B-side of the single way back in the day.

The only vast improvement on this cd reissue is the addition of extensive liner notes from the original LP.
