Could anyone confirm that the Velvelettes - These Things Will Keep Me Loving You (with alternative lyrics) ever saw the light of day on a CD?

Much obliged.

Hi Brian,

What? The actual recording or the fact that it's strange to hear such a familiar 45 with different words? I know Chris pulled lots of stuff from the vaults including a few that surprised a few of us. That version of The Sparkles Try Love etc. (Can't remember who it was now). Al Pollard has the acetate of it. Also he pulled a track by The Magnetics from the same source didn't he? (Or maybe he just covered that one up I forget). All great tracks though.

Without searching for the old thread, AFAIK the TMG580 issue with the original words was the mono take, the stereo take has the different words and this was the one used for the reissued single and - am I right? - all the subsequent reissues.

Hello Dave , Motown chartbusters 6 was the first LP I ever bought aged 14 , and for years thought the version on the album WAS the original version .It wasn't until I bought a Soul label copy that I discovered the difference !! Best Wishes ,Eddie
