Yet Another Greatest Hits Collection...
dwood78 | Long Beach, CA USA | 02/01/2009
(4 out of 5 stars)

"Oh yes, another greatest hits CD from the Temptations.



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)".



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."
A Good Collection, but not "Definitive"

"If you love The Temptations, you'll love this collection of songs. But I wouldn't call it "Definitive" as it doesn't include songs like "Beauty's Only Skin Deep." 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."
