Didn't The Return of the Marvelettes have a Marvelette on it? I always thought Wanda was on the cover...

Yes. Wanda was the only one whose face was shown clearly. But, it's likely that the other two women did NOT sing on any of the LPs recordings, unless they were two of The Andantes [[and I don't think they were).

If we don't know who the other women on the cover of "Return of The Marvelettes" are, how do we know that they are "artists"?

I like luckyluckyme's answer - Lynda Laurence was brought in to replace Cindy Birdsong after "Floy Joy" was recorded, but it's Lynda on the cover, not Cindy.

On Facebook some time back, one of the female members of the Undisputed Truth said that she was one of the women who posed alongside Wanda for the cover. She even revealed that the horses were fake.

Yes, that could be. From Wikipedia:

"The record's cover instead featured a new picture of Young and two fake Marvelettes [[reportedly Billie Rae Calvin and Brenda Joyce Evans of The Undisputed Truth)."

If that report is right, then there would be more than one correct answer to this question.

On "Return of the Marvelettes" "Uptown" IS The Marvelettes.

I found the Facebook quote from Brenda Evans of the Undisputed Truth in another thread.

"Yes Billie and I thought we were scheduled to do session background work that day. We didn't have a clue what was happening. We wasn't told anything about the Marvelettes. We were put on two fake horses incognito. Motown at that time didn't tell us what was going on. I had forgot we did that Photo for a couple of decades."
