Velvelettes Album Question

[daviddesper]

I thought I had just about everything by our girls, but this one has thrown me a curve....this morning on Pandora, they played a live version of "He Was Really Sayin' Somethin" and it said it was from the album "The Velvelettes' Needle in a Haystack." It did not show any graphics for the album cover.

Well I have never heard of an album with that title and I am not really sure I have ever heard that version of the song. All I know is the three different greatest hits collections, the Motor City album "One Door Closes" and the Marginal release where they are teamed up with the Royalettes.

So what album did this version come from?

I've had it for a couple of years. It's worth getting. Enjoy!

WHAT? This is a total surprise...and a darn good one too! I was trying to figure out if these performances were from the 60's. If these are from a later time, the backing band sure has a great classic sound. I'll have to get this!

Also, The Velvelettes anthology for $8.95 and no postage!!!!

This vendor has been mentioned often recently on SDF discussions. :-)

Thanks guys. I see I am not the only one who had not heard of this release. A 5 minute version of Needle sounds pretty interesting.

A crystal clear, relatively recent video...
