Comments and Reviews


Ed Pauli 8th Dec 2024		Was this the first greatest hits album in a double LP gatefold format????



Bgray1 24th May 2024		Fourth label variant images added.



LaurenceD SUBS 18th Jun 2022		Added alternate "T-254" label scans from my copy, except for side 2, which is identical to image 1233917, with "TM-254".



caseellerbroek SUBS 19th Apr 2017		That track certainly is a mystery. I've got both records and this is the first time I've really listened to it. Completely different. I can't identify it, but it must have been some sort of mix up.



nafalmat 4th Apr 2017		This album when releasesd in the UK contains one of the real mysteries about Motown. The UK version was released in 1966 and simply titled 'From the Beginning' as the Miracles hadn't had in UK hits at that time. It was whittled down to 14 tracks and made a single album in the UK. The mystery about the UK album is the track 'Mama done told me' which is a completely different recording and song to that on the US release. The track on the UK album had never been released in the States and does not appear to have been released ever again anywhere. I've never come across anybody who has ever been able to shed any light on this track. It certainly doesn't sound like Smokey singing lead, in fact it may not be the Miracles at all, although the lead voice could be Bobby Rogers. Most of the words are not clear as the recording is not exactly high fidelity, it is uptempo and sounds like a late 50s recording. It starts with the words 'We're gonna have a whole lot of fun, we're gonna dance until the break of dawn', and it is definitely a different song to the familiar 'Mama Done Told Me' on the US LP.



TheDroid 4th Jan 2017		Added front cover variant with the "modern" Tamla logo, back cover, gatefold and label variant images.



W.B.lbl 31st Mar 2015		The later stereo issue was among the first, on the cover, to feature the replacement "modern" Tamla logo.
