I finally got hold of a reel to reel machine that could play back the "
Supremes A Go Go" tape I found on eBay. While the "You Can't Hurry Love" track is not the wild psychedelic alternative version that was hinted on a blog I once stumbled upon, it certainly is different indeed. Just before the musical bridge, Diana distinctly sings, "I've been waitin', I've been taken." For some unknown reason, this particular version of this recording has never appeared on any other compilation, at least not to my knowledge.
Was my search for the "holy grail" of
Supremes recordings worth it? Yes indeed, but as we all know, the actual hunt
is actually often
more fun than obtaining the object of our desire!
