The Three Degrees: a thorough album discography, impossible to find on the net?

[Westwood]

Hey guys, I finally managed to find time to look for all of their albums, however before I do that I wanted to compile a discography for the albums.
Wiki says one thing, Allmusic (I hate them) another, the girls' official website is the worst, content and style (so many times I've wanted to learn how to design websites so I could give artists the kind of style they deserve). They mostly list different titles, some omit some, etc.
This is as hard as when I was trying to get all Dionne Warwick's albums.
You can't find a decen discography on the net. Am I a retard in googling (don't anwer, I know it already lol) or is it possible there isn't a proper fan who listed them and and pointed out country differences in titles etc?
Some albums, like "International" and "Three D" (3D?) aren't in any country's ebay. Maybe they don't exist in that title? :(
Can someone paste one here or direct me to a good one?
Thankssssss

Thanks Pierre, this doesn't really help me with my current task but it will definitely come in handy when I want to get all of Gio's output ;)

.. it's also very annoying that nothing by the Three Degrees is available to purchase on DVD .. There is lots of Supremes material available on DVD .. but nothing at all from the Degrees .. thank God for U-Tube ..

[Westwood]

Lots of Supremes on dvd??? Where?
I have the Ed Sullivan appearances on the compilation dvds of his, the Reflections (pretty much the only real official one) and a live show (Amsterdam). Doesn't really qualify as "lots", unless I'm seriously out of the loop?

.. check out "The Supremes Classic Video Hits" DVD:
Amazon.co.uk: The Supremes: Classic Video Hits [2003]: Diana Ross, The Supremes, Mary Wilson, Florence Ballard: DVD

.. also "The Supremes Live : Come see about me" DVD:
Amazon.co.uk: The Supremes - Live Come See About Me DVD: DVD

I'm pretty sure those are just repackagings of the Sullivan and Live in Amsterdam shows, I remember checking them all in the past.

Yeah many albums from this era are confusing--trry to find Cher's complete discography for example. I, too was trying to get all of Dionne's discograp[hy from her Bacharach years and it took me eyars--even with much of itbeing reissued on Rhino Handmade.

By the way, how many of those special numbered limited editions did they do for Dionne? I hope I got all of them, the last I got was way more than a year ago.

Even before I became a eurodisco fanatic I was a Bacharach/David fanatic (yes I was a weird 12 year old lol) Anyway the Dionnes that Rhino Handmade released--I believe each had 5000 copies were

Windows of the World/Valley of the Dolls
Very Dionne
Soulful
Promises Promises/I'll Never Fall in Love Again


I wished they had done all the Sceptor albums--in the 90s Castle Music UK released on 3 discs the first 6 Dionne/Bacharach arranged albums (so the ones before the Rhino handmade). I only got the first two, when I was living in London in 2000 after high school, and now Amazon sells them used for 50+ bucks--one day I'll get the one I'm missing (I have it on LP already). I believe all these albums have now been reissued, as of last year, but one short album per cd, not two, but with some bonus songs, on Collector's Choice.

And of course the last Bacharach produced album for her has been out on CD a few years, her first Warners album, Dionne (with the hideous cover).

[Westwood]

Oh yeah I got all those 2 albums on 1 cd things, they looked awful ;)
I wanted to but all the individual cds but couldn't afford them. HOw many of them were, and were they only the ones that had been on 2fers before or even more albums?
I have the WB cds too :)

[EricHG23]

Yeah they do look awful--decent sound and notes though.

The Collectors Choice releases were did get into albums the 2fers never did but I haven't bought ANY yet--no money and the temptation to research them and then buy is too great, so can't say for sure

Thanks for the links, but these are all vg quality only. I never buy this condition unless I have to.
By now I have almost all their albums, I am only missing A Toast Of Love and International :-)
