| "—" denotes the album failed to chart or was not released | ||||||
- 1 The Supremes Sings Ballads & Blues, was assigned a catalog number (Motown 610) in late 1963 and given a projected release date. Although it was not released, several of the tracks originally recorded for it appeared on the album The Supremes Sing Country, Western and Pop in spring 1965.
- 2 The Supremes, Live, Live, Live!, a live concert recording, was scheduled for release on Motown 625 in early 1965. Although no official track list is available, the live set from the expanded fortieth anniversary edition of the Where Did Our Love Go album features tracks that were slated for inclusion on the album. The Where Did Our Love Go anniversary edition liner notes indicate the possibility of tracks from the Motor-Town Revue in Paris were also considered.
- 3 There's a Place for Us, an album of pop standards, saw release as an expanded volume in 2004, thirty-nine years after it was completed.
- 4 A Tribute to the Girls, was another project that Motown planned for The Supremes yet was never completed. Several tracks were featured on the expanded release of There's a Place for Us.
- 5 Pure Gold, an album of greatest hits-like material, planned for release in May 1966, but was cancelled.
- 6 The Supremes and the Motown Sound: From Broadway to Hollywood, with no formal track listings having been produced for this album, it is widely believed that the album would have been based around the group's then-current number one single, 'The Happening', and earlier vaulted material, notably from the featured recordings from There's a Place for Us sessions.
- 7 Diana Ross & The Supremes Sing Disney Classics, featuring covers of songs from films produced by Walt Disney Productions, began in 1967 and was completed by year's end. However, the album was never given an assigned catalog number and was shelved. Songs recorded for the album, including "When You Wish upon a Star", "I've Got No Strings" and "Whistle While You Work", have appeared on several Supremes compilation albums. "Chim Chim Cher-ee", "A Spoonful of Sugar", and "Zip-a-Dee-Doo-Dah" still remain unreleased.
- 8 Promises Kept, a 1971 set by the "New Supremes" produced by Clay McMurray, Bobby Taylor, Ashford & Simpson, and others. The album was never finished, and the Supremes were instead assigned to work on Floy Joy with Smokey Robinson as producer. Some of the Promises Kept songs appear on the 2000 Supremes box set and the 2002 70s Anthology. Thirteen other tracks from the sessions are included on The Supremes box set This Is The Story: The 70s Albums Vol. 1 - 1970-1973.
Note
- US chart positions below #100 were compiled from Billboard magazine's Bubbling Under Hot 100 Singles and Bubbling Under R&B/Hip-Hop Singles charts.
