Expanded Edition

On April 28, 2017, Universal Music Group released "Supremes A Go Go: Expanded Edition," a two-disc limited edition re-release. Disc one contains the digitally remastered original mono and stereo editions of the album. Also on disc one are bonus tracks, alternate vocals, and alternate mixes. Disc two features alternate vocals and alternate mixes. One of the high points of the edition is the inclusion of an early version/scratch mix of "Love is Like An Itching in My Heart", in which Diana Ross' first attempt and progress of the track are heard, and a "fantasy duet" of "Shake Me, Wake Me (When It's Over)" between the Supremes and the Four Tops.
