Brian, sorry to point out another difference between the contents of the Complete Motown Singles CD series and the original commercial 45, but I have just checked my 1971 stock 45 for you, and it was indeed issued in mono. Kent and I must've both been checking this at the exact same instant, as his latest reply beat mine by just 2 minutes.

Crap! What is wrong with those morons at Hip-O Select? They sure dropped the ball on "Motown Singles 11A," didn't they? It is the single most effed-up volume in the entire series.
It's possible that the mono single was a fold-down, though... I've been told that "I'm Gonna Make You Love Me" was, and I'm pretty sure that "Got To Be There" was, too.
Thanks, guys, for all your help on this.

A fold down wouldn't be too much of a surprise. Many of the late period Mono Motown singles were folds.

My commercial copy says "MONO".
Motown got several of those singles wrong in the Singles
series.

Just heard this one on American Top 40 this weekend.
I still chokes me up.
It was number twenty on its way down, FYI.
