Supremes - You've Got To Pay The Price

"You've Got To Pay The Price" was produced by Al Kent, who had releases the instrumental version on Ric Tic 127 in 1967 and has been a Northern Soul favourite ever since.
Jean Terrell cut a vocal version which was intended as a sole release, then she re-cut it (13th January 1970) and Mary Wilson and Cindy Birdsong's vocals were added (23rd January 1970).

Did we also forget that Gloria Taylor recorded the vocal version first on the Silver Fox label?........An often covered Ric Tic classic from the '60s......superbly done by Jean Terrell & The Supremes.....should've been released as a single

@Vincent50 NO It is defo Mary and Cindy on this. I have it down on my recording log as Mary Wilson and Cindy Birdsong vocals added 23rd January 1970.

The songs with Jean and the Andantes was only a tiny few and they were all done in 1969 on the recording log I have, then from 1970 onwards Mary and Cindy were on the tracks and the Andantes were no more THANK GOD!. xxx

@Vincent50 That is what I thought, but it turned out to be Mary and Cindy. xxxx

@bradly2007 I must agree. that boxset is awesome, I bought it when it first came out and love the book style of it, I recommend it to any fan who loves Jean, Mary and Cindy. xxxx

@wiganjoe OMG, I always thought it was the Andantes on this with Jean as it sounds so much like them, wow I am so pleased now that it is Mary and Cindy, I can start listening to it again now I know it is Mary and Cindy. It is incredible. xxxx

This is a great version of this song. I'm amazed that this was never released back when it was recorded!

Nice version. I think that Gloria Taylor did a version on Polydor (UK). . Al Kent was one of the first Ric Tic 45s that I bought.Thanks for the posting

Jean sounds so fine here & this great singer finally gets her just due with the release of the 3CD masterpiece "This Is The Story" and what a stunning one it is!
