George,
I was looking over the booklets while giving the set another listen and something caught my eye that I've not yet seen addressed here-
The replica 1967 tour book [[pg 21) Program
[[Subject to change)
lists Let Me Love You Medley
What songs were part of that medley?
I’m not George, but it’s Let There Be Love, Let Me Love You, Spring Is Here, Love Is A Many Splendored Thing
ok I am ready for Reflections now.
George, was there any thought into a new mix of Heatwave or Same Old Song, both have good Ross vocals but seem weaker than the other tracks.
Has anyone else noticed the error/ misprint on the back cover of the EU edition of the CD where it says "...all of Disc 3 previously unreleased" instead of Disc 2? Is this mistake also on the US edition?
Let There Be Love Medley [[known as the Let Me Love You Medley) is on Live at the Roostertail on the I Hear A Symphony Expanded. They also sang it at the Copa but it was a bit of a mess and a let down after the Roostertail performance. We actually had included it but swapped it with Queen Of The House. I would have loved to have done remixes of Same Old Song and Heat Wave but there just wasn't room. I love doing fresh mixes of everything. I love discovering other elements and longer fades etc.
George [[and all), forgive me, but I don’t recall ever hearing/having the Supremes singing “Love Is A Many Splendored Thing” as part of a medley at the Roostertail in 1966 or elsewhere. They sing “Let There Be Love” on the Roostertail set included on IHAS:EE, but...I don’t hear Splendored or any of the other songs mentioned as part of that medley. What’s the story?
The medley actually consists of "Let There Be Love" which goes into a song called "I Love You" [[they sing WE love you) and at the end of the medley they sing "cause love is a many splendored thing. So they don't actually sing the song just that one line.
Just searched Youtube for the Motown Story version of You Keep Me Hangin On and found this:

This version does seem to have more prominent background vocals when compared to the Play List version.
Also, interestingly, if you listen the the music playing behind Diana's intro you can hear, what sounds like, the alternate drum backing track used for the alternative version released on the Expanded HDH album.
Hello George! I have a question about that first, original version of "It's The Same Old Song" on the A-Go-Go set; there are points in the song where it's just down to the bass and that heartbeat bass drum. Am I imagining it or is the bass in a totally different key during those "intermissions" than it is on the rest of the song?
It's the darndest thing that this song has a very rudimentary sound and yet it's spellbinding. I absolutely love that thing to pieces. So much that I can rarely get past it before playing it about 6, 7 times in a row. It's just something about the rawness that is fascinating.
interesting! i know the team doesn't want to release anything that would come across as "a mess." A few did make it onto Copa - Nothing But heartaches is a bit rough, as is Tonight. What happened with Love?
are there other tracks between Copa 65, Roostertail and Copa 67 that were performed but cut from the X Editions?
I love hearing how the live tracks evolve. Like how they continually added comedy bits to Queen, or how the spiced things up a bit on you Can't Hurry Love by Copa 67. very interesting
I'm chuckling because I swear, I thought I was loosing what was left of my mind each time I played that song! At least now I know, there is something there, and I'm very, VERY glad the decision was made to leave it as is. Sometimes, it's little quirks like this that makes a song more interesting and enjoyable.
I love the way that the percussion on "You Keep Me Hangin' On [[extended)" sort of transforms the track into a cha cha.
I think I like this new version even more than the officially released version. I have a feeling H-D-H were experimenting with this beat. It's similar [[not quite the same) to the beat heard on Chris Clark's "Love's Gone Bad". They also had another beat they were trying out on a Kim Weston song, "I've Got A Weak Heart" that I never heard on any other H-D-H song.
I also love the bass on this extended version. It does some slick moves that in places that are just so funky.
this is still one of my favorite Supremes albums. I hope we don't have to wait a year for the next release. looking forward to Reflections.
more fresh mixes....Going Down For The Third Time is the bomb. love it
Buy the cd! For me, it’s worth it just for the versions of YKMHO and Remove this doubt
