David offered to accept it back and send me something else in return. Can't remember what I replaced it with. Looking back, I think David had the 66 Roostertail track list and the Copa 67 audio mixed up. He had a lot of stuff.
If I remember correctly, the first VHS Supremes performances I had were from a guy named Mark who used to frequent the Flo Ballard group. He filled up a six hour VHS tape with nothing but Supremes performances, most of which can now be found on Youtube, including the full TCB and every single Sullivan performance, except Jean's debut. I still have the tape in a box, somewhere.
There used to be a lot of good will among Supremes fans then. There was some nastiness with the different fan camps, particularly the usual Diana fans vs Mary fans, but I don't recall things ever being as nasty as it has often been around here. Or maybe I'm looking back with my rose colored glasses on.
