For Andy, George and Harry. I know you guys have most likely not been able to get the green light on A Bit Of Liverpool, Country and Western, We Remember Sam Cooke ect. but if or when Sing Holland-Dozier-Holland comes out is there any way you guys would be about to push for the stereo and mono version of the Rogers & Hart with all the unreleased recordings and alternate mixes? Would love to have this album in expanded form :p
To be fair, an expanded edition of Rodgers & Hart did come out. [[Lordy! 15 years ago!). Though I would definitely welcome a more comprehensive collection [[as you describe) -- ie the mono album and any other alternate vocals/mixes they could find. It's a terrific album, and I play it quite a bit.
This is one album where I think nearly all of the cuts left off were better than nearly all of the ones that made it onto the initial release. I think there are 3 or 4 of the original songs that I focus on. I play the outtakes so much more. Btw, I also vote for a more comprehensive expanded edition.
It seems impossible that the re-issue was released 15 years ago. I agree with you, the tracks from the vault were superior in my opinion as well. Add my vote for an expanded release, perhaps coupled with the Disney LP.Quote:

This is my favorite 60's Supremes album. To me, it's their best album. I too would love to see it get the expanded treatment, but only after the rest of the later 60's album get released first.
I would love see Sing Rodgers & Hart Expanded look like this:
Disc One:
- Original Mono Album & Original Stereo Album remastered
Disc Two:
- The Complete Sessions - Brand New Mixes
- Alternate Vocals/Versions
