Sad To See It Go: No

I've had a few copies of this in my lifetime, in fact I still have a stereo one.  The mono copy I got a lot of dollar records last June sold in 4 months.  Considered the penultimate white boy soul duo, this was always a mainstay of "must have" lists.  That said, it never really moved me.  "You've Lost That Loving Feeling" was heard too much even when it was usurped by the heavily influenced Hall & Oates.  I would say I've heard it in my lifetime more than "Unchained Melody" even though that one has like triple the streams (54M to 18M just one one of many versions up on YouTube).

This compilation put out by Verve in 1967 was revised a couple times and has fallen out of print.  Phil Spector sued after Verve took over in 1966, but their popularity was waning on Verve's timeline.  The Phillies and Moonglow tracks were bought by Verve, so there was no re-recording for this Greatest Hits.  This one is all I really needed although I've had some others creep in from other dollar lot purchases.

I've tried to replicate the Mono version when they are available and linked the stereo editions otherwise since there isn't a version of the album posted.

It is what it is.
