Sotosound
I know people poo-poo fold downs as being inferior, but I always thought that the Brian Holland mix of TOHOM was a genuine mono mix, but of course that all changed after I heard it in it's true format on the 'Anthology set. I, like the rest, appear to have had been fooled!
I'm pretty sure the UK [[and the rest of the world) got some fold downs early on too, as Marvin Gaye's 'Little Darling' seems to be the stereo L.P mix [[no strings of course) on TMG 574. Also TMG 546 'Don't Mess with Bill' by the Marvelettes strangely uses only the left or right [[can't remember which) channel of the Stereo L.P mix! I guess that's why people wonder why it sounds so different to the US 45!
Cheers
