THE SUPREMES/SUPREMES A GO GO MOTOWN 649 (-66) US MONO

 

  I've been a steadtfast Supremes fan ever since I first heard them in the mid-sixties. So even if I already have both UK stereo and mono versions  https://monolover.blogspot.com/2023/04/the-supremesthe-supremes-go-go-tml.html  I couldn't resist this early US mono press when spotting it in a bin a while ago. Maybe I should be satisfied enough with the UK:s, but as they were an American trio and this was released a couple of months earlier it is more of an original and together with the small dissimilarities enough for me to justify a buy. Apart from the label design the logo on the front sleeve differ and this also have "The sound of young America" banner on the rear, missing on the UK. To my ears audio is about the same. The UK is cut a bit louder, but they both come out great. A lovely album conveyed by an excellent mono mix whichever you choose. Premiere US press had label as shown here on heavy vinyl in a glossy cover with Motown ad inner.  (YZÄ*)  (ÖXCÅ*)  (FÄV*)  (TÖMÖ*)
