THE SUPREMES/THE SUPREMES A' GO-GO TML 11039 (-66) UK MONO


    Posted the UK stereo version three years or so ago    https://monolover.blogspot.com/2019/11/the-supremesa-go-go-stml-11039-66-uk.html  . Now it's time for an update - this time with the mono. The stereo mix and audio are very good and certainly enjoyable, but this mono also adds some power and cohesion I didn't get there, without losing clarity. They're both pleasing as they are making it impossible to choose, so I'm happy the bins have been good to me and I've found both. Most of what I wrote on the stereo three years ago still goes for this, so here I go again...No secret I'm a big Supremes fan and collector, picking all decently used and appropriately priced I can find with the ladies from the used bins. By now I have most of their recordings, some of them many times, but for every unique item there's always something new and special to me...like a luscious sleeve design, differing track orders or songs and/or versions I didn't have before. This ticks all those boxes. Partly a greatest hits collection with numbers such as "Love Is Like An Itching In My Heart", "This Old Heart Of Mine" and "You Can't Hurry Love", here coupled with a couple of tophole cover versions like "These Boots Are Made For Walking", "I Can't Help Myself", "Hang On Sloopy" and "Money"...all of them infused with something new and exciting and not standing back to any of the originals, thus keeping me cinched to the listening chair and I couldn't be happier. In today's deranged world filled with violence and climate anxiety it feels good to be caught in something this pure and lovely. Issued and reissued on vinyl and CD all over the world through the years, also 4-track, 8-track and cassette. Premiere US on Motown (M/MS 649). US 2017 2xCD "Expanded Edition" came with all original stereo and mono cuts plus twentynine alternate mixes and/or versions. First UK had label as shown here in a laminated flip/back cover with ad inner.
