The story is that for somebody who has such a large catalogue of music, so much of it (as is the case with many Motown artists) isn't available on CD.

Diana Ross
Last Time I Saw Him: Expanded Edition 2-CD set





RELEASE DATE: June 18 2007
CD Edition limited to 5000 limited edition copies

Last Time I Saw Him, a classic Diana Ross album overlooked in the digital era, finally makes its CD debut.

Recorded and released in 1973, Last Time I Saw Him, with a title track written by Michael Masser and Pam Sawyer, was the follow-up to Diana’s No. 1 Touch Me In The Morning. Masser, the Four Seasons’ Bob Gaudio and Motown’s own Ron Miller and Tom Baird contributed to the LP; one of Baird’s tracks, "Turn Around," written by Harry Belafonte, was a holdover from a previously unreleased album.

"Last Time I Saw Him," the title track, shot straight up to the top of the Adult Contemporary chart while making a respectable splash in the Pop & R&B top 20. However, the album and its subsequent single releases failed to make its expected impact. With Diana working on her second film, Mahogany, and with additional projects taking precedent, the album faded away.

Hip-oSelect.Com now presents the original album remastered, the ultra-rare Japanese Quadraphonic release, TEN previously unreleased bonus tracks from the sessions, and the unedited version of the title song. It’s all packaged with a beautiful booklet that features detailed recording data and a new essay by Motown chronicler Andrew Skurow.
The 10 unreleased cuts include original songs, and stellar covers of the classic Skyliners’ hit "Since I Don’t Have You," the Carpenter’s "Let Me Be The One," the Motown underground favorite "I Want To Go Back There Again," and an early version of Diana’s own "Where Did We Go Wrong."

DID you know... "I Want To Go Back There Again" uses the same track as the previous version by Thelma Houston. Its producer, Hal Davis, went on to produce Ross’s "Love Hangover" and Thelma Houston’s "Don’t Leave Me This Way" - which, in classic Motown coincidence, was originally assigned to Miss Ross.

Only 5000 copies

I`m glad i ordered mine today....

David Ruffin`s first solo albums was also released as a limited edition through hip-o-select, but it`s very hard to find now.

Anyone have it?

Thas because it's SOLD OUT its the only HipO-Select release to sell all 5000 copies.

You ever check out HipO-select, they have alot of great unreleased Supremes material, like the 40 Anniversay Were Did Our Love Go double disc.

Yeah, i meant it`s hard to find anywhere, not even on ebay....

I rarely visit HipO-select, cause they don`t ship to international destinations, but i love soulmusic.com (David Nathan`s page)


For those who are interested, his two collections "The motown solo albums" vol. 1 & 2 is on sale at amazon UK

Really? It seems like all of Stevie's stuff is still in print (am I wrong?), but I guess he is kind of an exception while Diana had such a hit and miss record in the seventies with albums.

SunnySkies said:

Yes, I have it. It's a GREAT album and well worth tracking down. I think it was limited to 3500 copies - crazy.

I have this album on vinyl Found it last year for only 3 or 4 bucks.My favorite song is "Sleepin"....a very sad and moving song.

SunnySkies said:

the song "Love Me" from this album is one of her most underrated singles

SoulAlive said:

Yeah, that`s the one where she sounds like Michael Jackson "He`s just sleepin` mister"
