As I mentioned elsewhere, I have recently acquired a fantastic 1974 Supremes Fan Club Newsletter.

It talks about the completion of SUPREMES 1975, and talks about how Suzanne DeP was pushing for IT'S ALL BEEN SAID BEFORE to be the first single, but the group didn't feel like that was the sound they were going for.

1) Was Suzanne right? I've always felt like IABSB had "smash" written all over it.

2) Was HE'S MY MAN the better choice?

3) Did the Supremes [[ultimately Mary) REALLY have that kind of veto power? I mean, obviously yes, but it's surprising to me that after almost 2 years of no contract or recording, that they finally get a LP together, then start picking and choosing?

Lastly, 1975 was smack in the middle of a 1950's revival; AMERICAN GRAFITTI, SHA NA NA, HAPPY DAYS, and RICHARD NADER'S "REVIVAL" concerts were exploding; would the SHA-LA BANDIT, It's ALL Been Said Before, or The SHOOP SHOOP SONG have been a good fit for a single?
