DIANA ROSS/BABY IT'S ME STMA 8031 (-77) UK


 Her eighth solo album after quitting The Supremes. Been loving that combo ever since their heydays in the sixties and always listen for similarities to her work with them in her later stuff. And I do get one here reminding a lot of the good old days -"All Night Lover". But even if the rest doesn't sound a lot alike there are still stuff that make me sit straight in my listening chair.  Like the swinging "Gettin' Ready For Love", the funky "Baby It's Me" and "Your Love Is So Good For Me" or the yearning "Confide In Me". Alltogether maybe not as fun or uplifting as the old Supremes though a lot more mature, bringing somewhat deeper qualities. Add to that the audio on this press is tophole, forwarding a very cozy touch making me feel embraced and enticing me to listen again. So far from the cheerful love stuff you got from her old girl group. This is softer hugs from an older, more experienced, woman and if that is what you're after look no further. Issued and reissued on all possible formats all over the world through the years. Premiere US on Motown (M7-890R1). EU "50th Anniversary Special Edition" CD on Motown (37463-99571-2) came with the 12" single version of "Your Love Is So Good For Me" as bonus track. First UK had label as hown here in a matt cover with hard glossy picture/credit inner.
