While There’s A Place For Us had a track listing, most of the unreleased lps didn’t. And in most cases we have more than enough tracks to make one. So what would u have released?
Ballad and Blues
1. This is it
2. He means the world to me
3. I’ve giving you your freedom
4. A breathtaking guy
5. I’m the exception to the rule
6. Long gone lover
1. Bye baby
2. Everyday I’ll love you more
3. Mr blues
4. Come on boy
5. My imagination
6. I idolize you
Well our German friend put together an expanded version of this album so here's the artwork front and back....

The tracks to what would have been the album are recognised in DFTMC - "My Imagination" shows, for example "unreleased; LP [[M): Motown MT610 Supremes Sing Ballads And Blues" so the track list is known.

It's a similar story for the Disney album for which the tracks are also recognised on DFTMC. Some pics of the bootleg here.

One of out own members also produced an amazing cover for the Disney album which can also be seen here

Shame about the grammar on the artwork!..."Classic's"
Yes that's unfortunate - and the catalogue number is also wrong at 659 [[which is the Rodgers & Hart album). Disney is 671. Otherwise, a beautiful piece of work.
In the WDOLG 40th expanded edition it lists a couple tracks but not 12. In none of the official published material has there been a listing of the full lp
But even w Disney and sing broadway to Hollywood the group recorded more than enough tracks. The lps would have been single disc and so only holding 11 or 12 songs. So the question still remains as to what our recommendations are for the releases
Well, we know the track list for There's A Place For Us. But what i wonder is if the mono masters exist and if they are any different than the stereo mixes. In 1965, Mono mixes were more often different than the same as stereo. So can we get the mono to complete that album?
interesting question! hadn't thought of that but given all of the other lps from this period, that very well could beQuote:

That's a lot of potential tracks. The first five i listed all sort of fit one style - bright, bouncy, campy. the remaining 11 are more mature, MOR etc. and of course had they not released the R&H set, some of those could have been combined with these to make a solid set.
IMO the B2H tracks just aren't as strong as the R&H ones. some are really quite strong but others are just ok.
