The Temptations were,in my opinion,the most talented male group ever to grace the Motown label; true giants not only of Motown at its height but even now,in Soul music - they deservedly get a lot of respect. Harmonies of rich gritty vocals blended with instrumental precision as backing,are here.Gutsy hard-edge but disciplined,riffs that dare you to sit still. This album has a feel-good "live" feel and when it says on the cover -"full dimensional soul" - that's what you feel you get whether by speakers or headphones. Tracks like, "I can't get next to you";"Just my imagination"; and "Lady Soul" - are attention grabbers. "Lady Soul" is the final track and although just a simple song, it is well executed and perhaps that's why it is well-loved, particularly by women. Though I'm not female, "Lady Soul" is why I bought this album - it's only on a few of their album compilations and though I first heard it long ago in the days of vinyl and cassettes, I still love it and therefore wanted it on CD. I can't name even one track here that disappoints me. Deez boys wuz badd! The price is also very fair for what you're getting. You can see I've no talent for writing reviews but I know what makes me say, "yeah,that's good,very good".

There just comes no better than this.
20 Oct 2000
Format:Audio CD
This is the one definitive collection. The Tempts were as good as it got back in the day.
All their early hits were here. Early on is one of my favorite pairings: "My Girl" for the good days ('sunshine on a cloudy day, when its cold outside I've got the month of May') to its lyrical opposite for the bad days, "Since I Lost My Baby" ('sun is shining and plenty of light, a new day has dawned both sunny and bright, but after I've been crying all night, the sun is cold, and the new day seems old').
Some of the best love songs of the '60's are here: "I Wish it Would Rain", "You're My Everything" and "I Could Never Love Another". They made us happy, and they made us want to cry. Also are their great party songs that made you want to get up, like the funky "Cloud Nine" and "Psychedelic Shack" and "Runaway Child".
Testimony to their greatness is that irreplacables like Eddie Kendricks and David Ruffin were some how replaceable, and the Temptations kept on rolling out the hits.
This is perhaps the best collection Amazon has for sale.

This one of the Temtps best album they have EVER created!
18 Nov 1999
Format:Audio CD
I ordered this beautiful album about two weeks ago. and if I say this is one of their BEST one yet, please believe me! Once you hear it, you'll want to play it every day! I listen to it in my car and at home. Everytime, I leave my house, I grab two things: My purse and the Temptation CD. ANTHOLOGY. I can even identfy EACH singer's voice, in every song that is sang. There are beautiful songs on this particular album that I have never heard over the radio. Melvin Franklin's voice on "Old Man River", makes chills come all over me. The man was tough! David, Eddie, Paul, Melvin and Otis are the artists who grace this CD. If you buy it, you won't be disappointed. I can assure you! I'm a HUGE fan of the Temptations.

3 *'s FOR THE CD, 5 *'S FOR THE TEMPTS
30 Dec 2004
Format:Audio CD
Did someone over at Motown have a brainfart or something. Why are these Motown tracks being "remastered" in MONO? The entire first disc of this 2 disc set is in mono. I have the old Compact Command Performances CD which includes 8 of these tracks and on that CD they're all STEREO. What's the deal?
Can't fault the music. One of the greatest acts to come out of Motown, or anywhere else for that matter.
