"A bit of Liverpool" by The Supremes (1964)

If you can't beat them,join them.

While "british invasion" swept away some big stars,others managed to cope with changes - Supremes recorded the whole album of songs by british artists,toured UK and posed for the pictures in new british fashion. it smeels very much like jumping at the bandwagon to me - if it moves,cover it - and it makes me think what would they do in cause Josephine Baker with her banana dress came in fashion (surely they would all go bananas). Yes we know, it wasn't girls but big bosses telling them what to do and that is why Supremes 1960s discography thematically have nothing in common ,as they hit left & right,trying to outdo Connie Francis at the game. Supremes sings country... Supremes sings Sam Cooke... Supremes sing Christmas... Rodgers and Hart... Funny Girl... Supremes singing Yiddish,hell yeah.

How does it sound? Cutesy,as expected. Songs are well known and copied not for note,so it's not even a matter of different interpretation,more a matter of different voices. If you ever wanted to hear "House of a rising sun" sung by Minnie Mouse,this album is for you. Surprisingly,"You really got a hold on me" by Smokey Robinson is also here because he influenced british rock aristocracy.

Music is of course,nice,but we already know originals so this is a bit pointless.
