Love Hangover, Redux: Hip-O Select Plans Deluxe Edition of "Diana Ross"

January 11, 2012 By Mike Duquette Leave a Comment

And now Hip-o Select unveils its first new catalogue set of the New Year: a deluxe edition of Diana Ross' legendary 1976 self-titled album.

Ross' first studio LP in three years, following 1973's Last Time I Saw Him, was produced by Michael Masser, who'd rose to prominence with his work on Last Time - writing the title track - as well as Motown stalwarts Hal Davis and Nickolas Ashford and Valerie Simpson. The leadoff single had been released the previous year, a sweet, irresistible song from Ross' starring role in Mahogany (1975), directed by Motown head Berry Gordy himself. The parenthetically titled "Do You Know Where You're Going To," written by Masser with legendary songwriter Gerry Goffin, was a deserved chart-topper.

But it was far from the only gem on the record. Another single, the proto-disco "Love Hangover," became another No. 1 hit. Beautiful tracks like "One Love in My Lifetime," "I Thought It Took a Little Time (But Today I Fell in Love)" and a cover of the beloved Charlie Chaplin theme "Smile" pepper the album, giving it a feel that's light but never slight.

In the tradition of previous expanded editions of solo Diana albums, Diana Ross features the original remastered album with a sweet batch of bonus tracks across two discs. Notable highlights include original single masters, the ultra-rare "Coming Home," released on a Japanese flexidisc for Coca-Cola; a cover of Elton John's stellar "Harmony" along with two unreleased tracks from the album sessions, and alternate takes of nearly every track on the original album.

Diana Ross is yours to order today, which you can do so after the jump while perusing the set's track list.

    I wonder if that "Love Hangover (Alternate Version #1)" is the long lost Tom Moulton mix. It's been "out there" and it's tremendous.

      Wow, never heard the Tom Moulton mix. That would be amazing to hear.

      I just learned that the ship date has been pushed back on Hip-O-Select. The new date is February 7th (the website has been updated).

    Disc 1 tracks 10 & 11 were a 1975 single. They were NEVER released on this album.

    Hope I'm not too late for Hip O Select to correct their liner notes if necessary!
