Hi guys, had this info but lost it somewhere. Apart from Supremes - Stoned Love what other releases are alternative or album versions on these labels. ? 

[Happy Feet]

Marvin Gaye , Little Darling .

There are six Al Green singles on Motown Yesteryear. Of these I think Take Me To The River was previously only on an album. Not sure if the others are alternate versions.

Hi Dave ,

                 A great Question but for me very difficult to answer. Motown Yesteryear / Collectables was a kosher series by motown to get another bite of the sales Cherry!   "Stoned Love" being the most known alternate take ,but ,without playing it and all  the others the lable times would not help,as 2.49 not 4,05 (on long version ) is stated on the lable.  The "Little Darling"is a different take ,with No strings at the behest of EMI uk who preferred a  more "earthy " version, but again .Us  45s come with strings and other european takes,, its pot luck. 

                                                                   Cheers John .
