Understanding that the "Cream of the Crop" album appears to be bits and pieces found in the vaults, I still find a few of the tracks to be outstanding in a production type way.

"Loving You is Better Than Ever", "You Gave Me Love" and "When It's Too the Top" have such lavish and full instrumental backings. I wonder if these were among the last tracks that Diana and the Andantes recorded as DRATS.

I realize these songs were not quite as 'edgy' as what they were putting out at the time; but, do you suppose any of these [[let's add "Can't You See It's Me) might have had any potential had they been released as a single.

If I were in quality control and had to pick from the four as what to release, I might go with "Loving You is Better Than Ever". Yeah, I know it's a Smokey tune and we know how "The Composer" faired; yet I believe this would have charted at least in the top 20.
