DIANA ROSS DELUXE EDITION

Here’s a brand new deluxe edition of Diana Ross’ legendary 1976 self-titled album, her studio LP in three years, following 1973′s Last Time I Saw Him. As with previously expanded editions of solo Diana albums, Diana Ross features the original remastered album with some 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  “Harmony” along with two unreleased tracks from the album sessions, and alternate takes of nearly every track on the original album. The album is produced by Michael Masser. Included here is "Love Hangover" which was her fourth number one single. It was released in March 1976, and rose to number one on the Billboard Hot 100, Hot Soul Singles and Hot Dance Club Play charts simultaneously.
