Carole,
do you know if Jimmy Ruffin recorded the demo version of "It's So Hard Being A Loser"?

I don't know. Like you, Martin, we can only go by the info Keith Hughes gives us in the recent Contours set.
It does seem odd that a demo vocal was recorded by ? and the, the very next day, Dennis Edwards recorded his lead.

When the Jimmy Ruffin anthology was being compiled, there was not enough space for the complete recordings. It was decided that previously unreleased tracks should be included at the expense of some material that was freely available - probably the right decision.

Perhaps one day the [[Jean Terrell) Supremes version will receive an official release.

What do you reckon the better title for a song is - "On the Avenue" or "In the Neighbourhood"?
