The Supremes Live! In Japan

The Supremes Live in Japan is a live album released by The Supremes in 1973, culled from a live performance recorded on June 2, 1973 in Tokyo, Japan. The album was issued exclusively in Japan, and was not released in the rest of the world until 2004.

The line-up at the time of the concert consisted of original Supreme Mary Wilson, lead vocalist Jean Terrell and Lynda Laurence. The album was slated for release, but due to internal conflicts within the group and the sudden departure of both Jean Terrell and Lynda Laurence, Motown shelved the project. The album was released in Japan, but then suddenly withdrawn. The cover of the original album was used instead for a United Kingdom-issued compilation album released in 1974, compiling the Supremes' singles from 1970 to 1973.

The album was issued by Hip-O Select Records in 2004 as a limited-edition CD release, as was The Temptations in Japan.
