The Fabulous Miracles

Some fans and discographers list the album title as "You've Really Got A Hold On Me", which is prominent on the cover and, adding to the confusion, is shown on some pressings of the LP as the main title on the spine and labels. Indeed, the original album label copy dated Feb. 8, 1963 shows the LP title as such, but Motown files contain a follow-up memo from two weeks later correcting the title. It is entirely possible that there were early runs of the LP jacket that did not include the corrections.
