The Supremes' A Bit of Liverpool answers the British Invasion with pure Motown polish, presented here in mono for that punchy, everything-in-one-speaker sound.

Released in 1964, just as Diana Ross, Mary Wilson and Florence Ballard were bursting into stardom, the album found Motown's brightest new act turning the tables on the Beatles and their fellow invaders. Instead of competing with the British bands, the trio simply sang their songs, adding a sleek Detroit shine to every one, from Lennon and McCartney tunes to the Dave Clark Five's stomp.

"A Hard Day's Night" and "I Want to Hold Your Hand" get the full girl-group treatment, all crisp harmonies and a swinging rhythm section, while "House of the Rising Sun" makes for a surprising and soulful detour. The most satisfying twist is "You've Really Got a Hold On Me", a Miracles song the Beatles had covered, brought home to Motown where it began.

Ross's lead vocals are already unmistakable, light and confident, with Wilson and Ballard wrapping her in warm, effortless backing that makes even the most familiar tunes feel new.

It is a fun, fascinating snapshot of a moment when the transatlantic pop conversation was at its liveliest, and a charming curio for any Motown shelf or British Invasion collection.
