| In some compilations, we can find special mixes of well-known songs. Do somebody knows the story about each one of the five listed here?

| Well as far as The Supremes go, they seem they will always come up with slightly alternate versions to keep us interested, to make us happy and.....to pick our pockets lol. Motown seems to have loads or alternate takes and mixes and they are not shy to share them with us. I haven't seen similar doing in other labels/artists I know. |

| Thank you Westwood but this mix of the Supremes is just a re-edit and not a real alternate take. |

| I just looked up Heartache No 9 in the vault, and it says there's a 12" that was released in 1980 with a special remix of a similar running time. Disco Funk |
