PS: One more thing; there's another true stereo version of The Marvelettes' "Please Mr. Postman" and it's on The Motown Box collection from 2005. It's longer than the single version and includes both the "don't pass me by" & "deliver de letter" lyrics towards the end of the song.

Glad you 'couldn't stay away' WWLFAC.

Wasn't the first LP reissue of the "Please Mr. Postman" album from the mid 80s in true stereo? I always thought it was. At the time, I had it on both cassette and LP. As I recall, the cassette was labeled as being in Stereo though the LP was a straight reissue of the original album and didn't indicate either way.
