I was also disappointed that on the Mary Wells "Dear Lover" set they failed to include the entire album, when adding 6 more tracks would have easily fit on the compilation CD.
I've enjoyed the Beatles songs much more than I remembered, maybe time away from hearing them has aged them well. I like the self titled album as well, but I don't think the material up to par with her Motown material, though I think 20th definitely tried to duplicate the Motown Sound on the arrangements. But whoever wrote the songs, they were just no Smokey Robinson.
