HERE COME OL' FLAT TOP

I had heard the post-Diana Ross Supremes' version of "Come Together" before, and I happen to really dig it. It's a nice slice of 1970 whatever you want to call it, pseudo psychedelic soul or otherwise. (Not a Norman Whitfield production, Frank Wilson, another Motown in-house guy, did it.) I didn't know until last night that Diana Ross had recorded her own version the same year. I've no clue what the actual recording dates were, or if either had any knowledge of the other cover, but it's interesting to hear them back to back. I wouldn't be surprised if some bedroom DJ hasn't mashed these two. 

There's a link below to the blog that has mp3s of both, and if you want them, don't sleep. It looks like the links there are only good for a couple weeks. If you're not sure, there's links to both streaming at YouTube. Go get your compare and contrast on.
