Guest MBarrett Posted June 3, 2009 Share Posted June 3, 2009 Circa 1964 Pop/R & B crossover stuff was the order of the day. So a Supremes album with covers of "British Invasion" groups (Beatles/Gerry & the Pacemakers/Animals/Dave Clark Five) probably seemed a good idea at the time. The result was "A Bit of Liverpool" Tamla 623 ("With Love From Us To You" TML 11002 in the U.K.) IN RETROSPECT - BIG MISTAKE!! Below just one example - you will see what I mean. Mind you those outfits they are wearing on the cover always make me smile. I think came from a set of photos taken when the Supremes came to the U.K for promotional appearances in 1964.

Epic Posted June 3, 2009 Share Posted June 3, 2009 Never heard them (& I don't wish to) but the Albert Finney album & the single featuring "Granny" off The Beverly Hillbillies cannot be part of Motown's finest moments. My personal hate is "Tune Up" - Junior Walker, I thought you were supposed to do that before you start recording. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Tabs Posted June 3, 2009 Share Posted June 3, 2009 Irene Ryan (Granny from The Beverly Hillbillies) appeared on the album for the Broadway show Pippin, released on Motown. From memory she died soon after. What!!! Wasn't Albert Finney a serious actor,as for Granny,not too sure..Are you messing here? P.S. Tune Up is rubbish but 'What does it take' is brilliant!!
