This is by special request. In talking about Motown's mono and stereo recordings with a fellow KZfaqr, this record came up and it was he who pointed out something interesting. I think I was aware that there were two different versions of 𝙄 𝙃𝙚𝙖𝙧 𝘼 𝙎𝙮𝙢𝙥𝙝𝙤𝙣𝙮, but the only difference I was aware of was on the fade out - one version has Diana Ross singing the phrase "𝘽𝙖𝙗𝙮, 𝙗𝙖𝙗𝙮, 𝙄 𝙝𝙚𝙖𝙧 𝙖 𝙨𝙮𝙢𝙥𝙝𝙤𝙣𝙮" pretty much in the same register as she had from the start, while another version seemed to feature an edit where you hear her going up a notch and singing that phrase with a bit more urgency and euphoric passion.
But, there's another slight variation that occurred with 𝙄 𝙃𝙚𝙖𝙧 𝘼 𝙎𝙮𝙢𝙥𝙝𝙤𝙣𝙮 which reveals that there were actually 𝙩𝙬𝙤 vocal takes for Diana's lead. Again, the variations between the two are so slight that the casual listener - and even one with a keen set of ears - might not notice it. Apparently the mono album and mono single/45 uses one vocal performance while the stereo album mix uses a different vocal.
But there's more: the stereo version of the album, 𝙏𝙝𝙚 𝙈𝙤𝙩𝙤𝙬𝙣 𝙎𝙤𝙪𝙣𝙙 𝘼 𝘾𝙤𝙡𝙡𝙚𝙘𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣 𝙊𝙛 16 𝙊𝙧𝙞𝙜𝙞𝙣𝙖𝙡 𝘽𝙞𝙜 𝙃𝙞𝙩𝙨 𝙑𝙤𝙡𝙪𝙢𝙚 7, uses a stereo mix that features the vocal take used for the mono LP and 45 mix.

Presented here are 𝙖𝙡𝙡 the mixes described above. If you don't have the stamina for it, or if you are a very casual listener, you are free to break away after the first part of this video. For Motown Fanatics and completists, this will be a virtually complete journey through the myriad of versions of this one.

In the 1960’s the FM radio stations such FM WNEW were broadcasting in stereo. When they played I Hear a Symphony by the Supremes, it was different from the either my stereo album or mono single version. I couldn’t find that version anywhere. Along comes the 2012 Hip-O Select release and there it was, excluding the few chords extended at the beginning, it was identical. There must have been a Motown special mix made just for the FM radio stations.

On the radio back then in the Mesozoic era, we did not hear Ross doing that slight harmony at the very end of the fadeout. Let's just say how great Mary and Flo sound and what a disservice to them it is that they're turned down so far in some of those stereo mixes. Those original mono mixes we heard on the radio are what made the group so successful and famous. Ironically, later we'd often hear the background vocals better on higher quality stereo albums (simply because the quality of sound was better). As for that final 2012 mix: it's heaven--even with Ross's ridiculous cooing during the bridge. She sounds great, M & F sound great (Flo the muscle of the original sound), and it's a joy to hear the instrumentation we'd never heard.

@@Branner Right. Being that radio only played the mono 45s, it would have only been the teenagers (or parents) who bought the stereo LP who would have heard that slight variation in Ross's vocal at the fade out. From what I've gathered, the stereo albums were a buck or two more than the mono albums so most just got the mono LP. Interesting that you mention the "cooing" we get to hear Ross doing on the instrumental bridge. These new mixes on the current CDs allow us fans to get a glimpse into recording sessions that we never had before. Sometimes we hear the singers when they may have been feeling their way through a song or vamping on a riff they probably knew was going to be cut on the final release. That's one thing we'll never know fully since that calls for knowing the operation of someone's mind. You bring up great points for discussion!

@@Tomovox_PAMS_Radio_JIngles As do you. Ross was often only given two or three takes, so they probably used the best of the best take. The real killer was "Nothing But Heartaches." As a kid, I was at a neighbor's who must have had the stereo album (More Hits) : suddenly the song was going on longer than I'd ever heard. That was the first time I became aware that there were different versions at times between mono and stereo.

Oh wow. Cool to know that. So the 2012 stereo mix at the end of video is amazing. Never heard this song like that before with Flo and Mary so clear. Love it

@@calvinguile1315 I have a confession: I used to just lay on the floor staring at Flo's expression on the album cover as the album played. I mean, Mary and Diana are pretty and awesome and beautiful but Flo was next-level. Her expression here is like a mix of angelic serenity yet there is a Detroit Fierceness there too. I think that's why I'm still drawn to this image - because who else could mix angelic with Fierceness and make it look so right?

This may not count, but the backing track on the 1965 “Mike Douglas Show” appearance is different, too.

@@metromonthly That was a case of the group being backed by the house band for the Mike Douglas Show and not a specially recorded track by The FunkBrothers. Anyone who appeared on the show performed live with the in-house studio band.

@@Tomovox_PAMS_Radio_JIngles I listened to the track again, plus an earlier Mike Douglas program where “Back In My Arms Again” was being introduced. It's obvious a live band is performing on the shows. The balance of the music is loud and brassy. But for the new songs, the instrumentation sounds different. Motown was strategic with its TV appearances. When a song was new, it had to sound like what was on the radio. For show tunes and older hits, it didn't matter as much. I think Motown supplied backing tracks for the new songs, but the rest of the show had a live band. Compare these two broadcasts and let me know what you think. • “The Original Supremes on The Mike Douglas Show 1965” - “Back in My Arms Again” was out for three weeks. Compare it to the other music from the show. The performance starts at 8:29. • “supremes mike douglas show.” - The show opens with “Back in My Arms Again” (with show tune treatment). By this time, the song is older and can have a different arrangement. The new song is “I Hear a Symphony.” It begins at 7:35. Compare the track to the other music being performed.
