In hindsight, here is a better option.

When you were receiving offers from Company B, C, D, etc,
you should phone Company A, and say, "I really like what I
see from your company, what I have heard, etc. However,
I am receiving offers from other companies, and we need
to fast-track the interview. I really want to work for you,
hence this phone call. Can we work something out for an
earlier interview?"

At the same time you tell the other companies that you need
a couple or few days to "think about it." [They all will understand
you are shopping other jobs, so don't think you are hiding it :-) ]
Very very few companies will tell you to go away if you are
"thinking about it." Those that do, do you really want to work there?

Get the earlier interview, let them know about other offers, once
again telling them you want their job, and they will fast-track
the hiring process.

No earlier interview? They weren't serious about you.
