Digitally remastered from the original Motown masters by Kevin Reeves at Universal Mastering Studios-East [U.S.].
Some listeners may hear momentary flatter in "I Did It All For You" on Disc 1. This anomaly is also present in the song's original vinyl release and, we discovered, in the original eight-track session recording. It could not be corrected in mastering.
Thanks to John Lester and Andrew Skurow for research assistance.
