   There are a few mistakes on those box sets, so anything is possible.  I seem to recall a wrong mix of a Junior Walker song being used, and for sure there was a wrong mix of "Mama's Pearl" by Jackson 5.

	I remember when the Complete Motown Singles box sets first came out, Brian W and others were corresponding with the compilation producer Harry Weinger regarding several incorrect versions that appeared on the series, and Weinger reportedly suggested that he was going to look into reissuing new discs with the corrected versions on them. I don't know what ultimately became of that, but I do recall being impressed at the painstaking lengths that Weinger underwent to try to get everything accurately represented on those box sets.

	It seems they left no stone unturned, but given the huge scope of the box sets and massive number of songs each one covers, I don't fault the producers if a few things slipped through the cracks. It's possible the "second pressing" version was labeled as such on a tape they pulled from the vault, but did they really have ALL the original 45s, including pressing variations, to check each version against what was on the tapes?

	Agreed... As kids today might say, no shade being thrown here against Weinger and company!
