"Beat Club" .. Presumably the German TV show?

It would be interesting to know when that was filmed, the song charted twice in Britain [[ on original release in 1967 as the follow up to "What Becomes of the Brokenhearted", and then again when reissued in 1969 )... I wonder if the same was the case in Germany?

John,

In think he means they didn't use the 45 version which had strings on it. :)

The stereo mix had them mixed out. :[[

Nice find btw Marv!

Cheers

Some of those Dean & Weatherspoon productions on JR seem to me to have been a little ahead of their time. Some really nice stuff which was a bit different, more sophisticated even than some of the other Motown things around then. Just me probably though. Did anyone else do a version of I'll Say Forever My Love?

They certainly had their own sound within the Motown Sound. Some of it a little on the soft side for me, but... You can always tell a DW song, too - they invariably start with the chorus.
