A Bit of Liverpool, released as With Love (From Us to You) in the UK, is the third studio album by the Supremes, released in the fall of 1964 on the Motown label. It was produced by Berry Gordy with Hal Davis and Marc Gordon doing the mixing.[2]

The Supremes performed the Beatles' "Eight Days a Week" on several television shows including Shindig and Hullabaloo, though the song did not make the album. The album featured covers of recent hits by British Invasion acts and also included two songs originally by Motown artists that had been covered by British groups: "Do You Love Me" (a UK hit for both Brian Poole and the Tremeloes, and the Dave Clark Five; and "You Really Got a Hold on Me" (an album track by The Beatles).[3] The album just missed the Top 20 in the U.S., peaking at No. 21. While not quite as prolific as the Beatles, the Supremes enjoyed three albums charting simultaneously in 1964–65.
