Where Did Our Love Go is the second studio album by Motown singing group the Supremes, released in 1964. The album includes several of the group's singles and B-sides from 1963 and 1964. Included are the group's first Billboard Pop Singles number-one hits, "Where Did Our Love Go", "Baby Love", and "Come See About Me", as well as their first Top 40 hit, "When the Lovelight Starts Shining Through His Eyes", and the singles "A Breathtaking Guy" and "Run, Run, Run".

Contents

The album peaked at No. 2 on the Billboard Pop LP charts to become one of Motown's biggest selling studio albums of the 1960s and is considered a pop and soul classic. This despite the fact that the lp was assembled with mostly hit singles and B-sides fleshed out with a couple of tracks in the vault. There were no productions specifically created for this album.
