Comment by PhilMH SUBS:

Re the note about Eddie Kendricks - his family name was actually Kendrick without the S, and "Isn't She Pretty' was originally recorded in 1961, presumably before he added the S. By the same token, the sleeve notes refer to Davis Ruffin rather than "David" - again, his real name.

Comment by Helen Willemse:

This was later released as Motown Special in 1977. I wonder if there was a Supremes only version as well? Can't find it anywhere..

Comment by arjayvee SUBS:

Really bad photo choices for the cover as Florence was gone from the Supremes before they duetted with the Temps, and this lineup of the Temps was not the one that did these recordings.

Comment by johnnyhotspur:

When collecting both US and UK Motown LP's, it's funny how you spot slight differences in some of the titles! Track B5 starts off with 'You' on this UK issue but the US prefer 'You've'.

@Neil.Forbes-55: Thanks for that tidbit. I have long wondered about that third sleeve and now know that I have the complete package after all!

Comment by RogerFoster:

Presumably this "Rowan & Martin's Laugh In" comedy skit was the source of the cover art.
