The original here had a better rhythm to it.

Something I just learned today. The Four Tops singles almost always charted higher in Canada than in the U.S.! Interesting.

That's VERY interesting and pretty cool! Funny how some performers rate higher across the board in some countries than here in the U.S.

What I like about this being able to hear the Tops' backing vocals so clearly. A lot more going on than you can really tell on the fully mixed singles/album tracks.

Agree it's so good hearing the backing vocals so clearly! LEVI at his Best as Always! Amazing sometimes how quickly The Four Top put vocals, often before rushing off to the airport, they really paid their dues even before signing for Motown.

I've seen with my own eyes, Levi rushing off and into the airport in Detroit!

Marv, those background vocals are gorgeous! And how those Motown strings are soaring! Where did you find this mix?

"Er, guys. That's great, but it'll never get airplay. Firstly, it's too long, and secondly, it goes off the boil a lot, and the kids will switch off and lose interest.

"Do you guys think that you can do what you did to 'Band Of Gold' and trim it down to less than three minutes of pure, hard-hitting magic?

"Yeah? That's great! Let me know when it's done.

"Oh, by the way. Those backing vocals are absolutely tremendous. So sophisticated and multi-layered. But they're just too much for today's kids. Can you push them back in the mix a bit, please?"
