More Hits by The Supremes is a 1965 studio album by Motown singing group The Supremes. The album, their third regular studio LP, includes two number-one hits: "Stop! In the Name of Love" and "Back in My Arms Again", as well as the Top 20 single "Nothing but Heartaches".
The album opens up with a very popular album track b-side, "Ask Any Girl" from their "Where Did Our Love Go" album. It ironically ended side 2 of their previous album of new material. It was once deemed for single release with this new album mix. However, the prolific team of Holland-Dozier-Holland kept churning out new irresistible material that demanded to be released.
The album peaked at #6 on the U.S. album chart and #2 on the R&B album chart. It proved to be another multi-million selling album for the now aptly deemed America's Sweethearts. To further underscore their massive popularity, each girl's signature was autographed on the album cover. Like their British counterparts from Liverpool, the fans knew each of their names. If they didn't know before, this album insured that they would.

All songs written by Holland–Dozier–Holland and produced by Brian Holland & Lamont Dozier.
The opening track was to have been "Always In My Heart," the back side of "Come See About Me," but then "Ask Any Girl" was remixed as a possible A-side single and the remix opened this album. "Mother Dear" originally was to followup "Nothing But Heartaches" as a single but "Heartaches" not making number one spurred the label to seek another musical direction for the next single. "Always In My Heart" surfaced later as "You're Gone (But Always In My Heart)" on the "Supremes Sing Holland-Dozier-Holland" album (at the suggestion of a fan!). The problem with the title "Always In My Heart" was the royalties were being misreported to the standard tune "Always In My Heart." "Mother Dear" was rearranged with a stop beat and re-recorded but again rejected for single release. The songs were all released in stereo mixes on the stereo version of the vinyl album except "He Holds His Own", which to this day only exists in a mono version.
