Is it just my ears but does this album sound like it was recorded in Detroit with the Andantes on background.

Nope, this album was indeed cut at Hitsville with the funk brothers and the andantes. One of the final Motown albums recorded exclusively in Detroit.

Thanks for the confirmation. I was listening to the album with my earbuds for the first time and that "Detroit" sounds just really jumps out at you.
