Am I correct in my understanding that all 60s Motown recordings were made first in mono versions?
A large number of Hitsville recordings were then released as singles or on albums in mono versions only, while many remained in the vaults. A smaller selection were recorded and released as stereo versions.
What was the criteria for creating a stereo version - for example, was it simply that the particular track was scheduled for release on an album?
