Hi
I wonder if anyone can help me with this. Does the booklet for the expanded edition of 'last time i saw him' give recording dates for the bonus tracks on the final cd? I'm looking for the relevant dates for ' i want to go back there again' and 'why play games'.

If the booklet doesn't give the dates, what would all you experts' best guesses be? For example, as the parent albaum was released in 1973, is it fair to assume that the tracks above were also recorded that year, or might they have been later/earlier.

thanks in advance for any help
PJ

The track for "I Want To Go Back There Again" had been recorded circa 1970 and was recorded [[and unreleased) by Syreeta.

On what day, was the first day of the recording sessions of Diana Ross' solo version of "Ain't No Mountain High Enough"?
Also, on what day did The Detroit Symphony Orchestra record for this song? Thank you, musical historians.
