I came across this concert poster dated October 1965 from Vancouver, B.C. Canada. I immediately noticed the billing. How can this be explained?

Is it really 1965? A google search of photos of the Supremes at The Cave shows Cindy Birdsong in the line up. I think the poster is later than '65 and has the wrong photo of DRATS.
Isn't that photo from circa 1966? I believe the women are all in the same wigs as in the photo for their HDH album.
It can get confusing. There first few billings from Flamingo July 1967 on were The Supremes with Diana Ross.
Yeah, they have definitely used old Supremes photos for latter singles, posters, etc. Most likely in an effort to save on the time and costs and photoshoots. However, I have also seen very rare instances of the Supremes introduced as "Diana Ross and the..." pre-1967.
Wouldn't be surprising if they used old Supremes photos to promote DR&TS performances. In fact, I KNOW they were doing it because of the histories of groups who often had old photos used to promote their shows and the members weren't with the group anymore so it's common to see that type of poster.
I have an old poster saying Diana Ross and The Supremes with the Jackson 5 and has Flo on the poster.
