These will also be included on an expanded TALK OF THE TOWN which we hope to do [[someday). Interesting how back then they switched up an early and late show, not repeating most of the non-hits. I believe "Queen Of The House" was the only one included in both shows. We included a few numbers from show 1. For instance, they didn't do "You Can't Hurry Love" in the late show but we pulled it from show 1 feeling it was too important not to include. Same with "Somewhere" and "You're Nobody Till Somebody Loves You." Andy felt very strong that the latter two should have been on since they were such staples of their act. They were both used on THE SUPREMES box set. I got a message from a lady who had never heard a Supremes concert and was thrilled with this show, specifically mentioning "Somewhere" and "You're Nobody." So, Andy was right... I guess we sometimes forget that the big fans know this material backwards but new fans pop up all the time. It's all a compromise and a matter of opinion. I personally would have been disappointed to lose a lot of [[actually MOST of) the new mixes on disc 2 to include more of the often heard live tracks. But I really enjoy hearing opinions. We really try to give fans what they want, when we can.
