    The opening track, Martha & the Vandellas' 'This Love I've Got' {Paul Riser, William "Mickey" Stevenson, William Witherspoon} and the lack of the title's inclusion in the lyrics, reminded me of 'S.O.S. [Girl In Distress]' {William Stevenson, William Witherspoon, James Dean}. At times there were even occasional nuances of similarity in the band tracks.
    With Martha & the Vandellas version of S.O.S., the title & lyrics jelled. Marv Johnson's earlier version did not include the title in the lyrics, but was known for years as 'Joe & Moe's' on bootlegs.
    Hmmh... 1965 for both songs.... 2 common composers.....Might there be another 1965 recording of 'This Love I've Got' by Lord -knows -who that matches the band track with lyrics based upon the title? Perhaps it's in the vaults in an unexplored position on a reel just waiting to be discovered! As we've read here several times "With Motown never say never".
