The Beatles albums [[and others) have been released with mono and stereo versions on the same disc. Aside from the expanded sets, which Motown CDs contain the mono and stereo albums? For sure, Marvin Gaye's "When I'm Alone I Cry" is one example [[31453-0356-2) from 1994. What other official releases have received the same treatment?
Aside from the Expanded/Deluxe Editions of albums by The Supremes [[or The Marvelettes' Forever More box set), I can't think of any official releases where the mono & stereo versions of an album were combined on one disc [[except for Marvin's When I'm Alone I Cry and the upcoming Tribute To Nat King Cole digital release). Would love to see more of the different mixes of Motown album cuts come out so I hope that Keith Hughes gets his wish.
