"I got this on tape from a bargain bin on a whim. Usually that doesn't work out too well, but this is a gem. Since all the tracks are from 1968, they all have similar production. Most have drums in one channel, vocals center, backing vocals in another channel, they sound live, etc. The sound is really great, artists today would do well to copy it. All the tracks flow together and the record is sequenced well. Side one is all the bigger names: The Delfonics, Marvin Gaye, The Temptations, Smokey Robinson, and James Brown. Side two starts with another Temptations song, and then artists I was not familiar with: Johnny Taylor, Jerry Butler, The Impressions, and The Dells. There are no weak songs. Everything here has aged well. No matter your taste or age, get a compilation like this if you can find it."

Good good
