Actually, it seems many of the Motown singles seemed to have been mixed at this point, '68 on, with less of that reverb and red-zone hot sound and more of a dry mix. The Miracles' "If You Can Want" is a very dry mix as well.
Was this more of a trend in the recording industry at the time, going for a more natural, dry mix?
