Yea, it sounded so fresh until I got to towards the end of "Baby, I Need Your Lovin'?" I thought to myself, "What happened to that sparse instrumental emphasized by the bass where Diana is singing "In the midnight hours......." at 2:21 with Mary and Florence in the background singing, "Baby, I need your loving'?" At that time, I wanted my mono version back and have not been able to find that mix of it since. Yes, the section was on the stereo version, however, it was just too different. Also I recall that "You Can't Hurry Love" had way too much reverb and "aliveness" for my taste. I didn't remember that on what I was hearing on the radio at the time. Just a "Reflection" here, everyone!
