different strokes for different folks and i respect your opinion, but i'm sure people would be chasing many of their 45's if they hadn't been such big hits and not saying things like this. many peoples views are tainted by the 'diana ross was a shit to florence ballard' opinion as well, which may or may not be true, it probably is.
some of the b-sides are worth it on their own, 'precious little things', 'you've been so wonderful to me'. If post-Diana 'stoned love' was an unreleased acetate it would be worth £1,000's, and 'come into my life' is a great disco/rare groove record, or are we not including the mary wilson/cindy birdsong/jean terrell/susaye greene eras?
they suffer from being so popular and the fact that everyone knows 'baby love' and thinks it's the epitome of soul, when it's clearly not. one of the least inspiring 'supremes' records i've had the misfortune to suffer is that awful 'back by popular demand' motorcity insipid monstrosity that got a few plays, i always thought it as strange that only that and 'stormy' (presumably because it was unreleased) ever seemed to get spun. i remember playing 'some things you never get used to' at the end of a northern do yonks ago and the place erupted, it is the funk brothers playing the music after all. mind you, most people were on their 8th pint by then, which might have had something to do with it...
