Available in true stereo on _Diana Ross and the Supremes' Greatest Hits Vol. III_; on a good system you can hear those weird beeps bouncing all around your room. (You can also hear a couple of extremely crude splices before each repeat of the chorus at the end.) This is in Bb, but I think the 45 was sped up to B. Anyone have an original pressing to compare?
