Live at London's Talk of the Town is a 1968 live album released by Diana Ross & the Supremes on the Motown label, recorded at the Talk of the Town nightclub. This performance marked the first time that new member Cindy Birdsong had performed overseas with original Supremes Diana Ross and Mary Wilson, a year after original founding member Florence Ballard was ousted. The group performed a variation of standards, show tunes, and their own classics with British rock stars Mick Jagger and Paul McCartney reportedly in attendance. The songs recorded are from the group's 1968 European tour. That European tour also garnered a famous Swedish television special that was used as a catalyst to promote this album.
The album includes "Medley: The Leading Ladies", a solo spot for Diana Ross. It is a variation of a medley she first performed on her second starring role on their television special, "G.I.T. (Gettin' It Together)" that also featured The Temptations. The contemporary hits go up to the first two Top Ten singles from the "Reflections" album.
Songs omitted from the recording are "I Hear a Symphony", "Unchained Melody", "Somewhere" and "Queen of the House".
