A Good Collection, but not "Definitive"
But I wouldn't call it "Definitive" as it doesn't include songs like "Beauty's Only Skin Deep. If you love The Temptations, you'll love this collection of songs. " And it seemed to me that a couple of the songs ended more abruptly and didn't completely "play out" as I remember they did on vinyl 45. Still, these are great songs and never fail to put me in a good mood.


Yet Another Greatest Hits Collection...


Like all the previously released compliations, nearly all their best known songs are present like "My Girl", "Since I Lost My Baby", "Ain't too Proud to Beg", & "Just My Imagination (Running Away With Me)". Oh yes, another greatest hits CD from the Temptations.

The highlight of this collection has to be the psychedelic soul recordings like "Cloud Nine" & "Papa Was a Rollin' Stone" (If you're interested in these type of songs, check out Psychedelic Soul, a double disc collection which covers this musical period).

For me, the last good Temptations song was "Treat Her Like a Lady" (I still remember my mom bringing home the 7'' record more than 20 years ago). All in all, a good CD. Throw in some very colorful linar notes with photos & an essay & you have a collection that's worth getting if you don't own any of the previously released Temptation compilations.
