Covid-19 Music… part 18… The Supremes, Where did our love go
The Supremes, Where did our love go, Motown Records… So I have been going through my records and noticed that I have two copies of this album with slightly different covers. Both records are the same, and both are great. I think it’s worth having two copies as a just in case type of thing. …
