I wouldn't know how to fill the long gap between late 1967 and Love Child. Somethings You Never Get Used To and tracks from the Reflections album just don't do it for me. I do think the Love Child album could have produced more hit singles [How Long Has That Evening Train Been Gone, Keep An Eye, I'll Set You Free, even Does Your Mama Know About Me]. Again, I don't know how to fill the gap until Someday We'll Be Together. I guess I can see Living In Shame and No Matter What Sign as follow-up singles to How Long or I'll Set You Free. I like the idea of combining the best of LTSI and COC earlier in 1969 and saving Someday for Greatest Hits 3.
