That version of "I've Gotta Be Me" was recorded in 1971 during the GOT TO BE THERE sessions. It's not a 1969 outtake. I agree with you regarding the fact that there were definitely more unreleased J5 tracks from 1969. Bobby Taylor has said that they recorded almost 40 tracks before the first album was out. A lot of those have come out over the years on various sets and compilations but not all of them. We know "TO SIR WITH LOVE" was recorded during those first sessions but that hasn't been released yet so I'm hoping a full set will be appearing by years end.
