Product Description
For the first time ever, on the occasion of the group's 50th anniversary, every single from the legendary Temptations lineup through 1971 is now in one package. This 3-CD box set features every A- and B- side, from the Temptations very beginning to the moment original members Eddie Kendricks and Paul Williams left the group.Housed in packaging similar to the acclaimed series The Complete Motown Singles,this box set is accompanied by a booklet filled with detailed information about each single, reproductions of spectacular-looking picture sleeves from around the world, and classic and rare photos of the world's greatest male vocal group of all time.Included in this box set are the group's 13 No. 1 Pop and R&B hits, from "The Way You Do The Things You Do" to "Just My Imagination (Running Away With Me)," and the smashes in-between--the iconic "My Girl," "Get Ready," "Ain't Too Proud To Beg," the controversial "Ball Of Confusion (That's The World Is Today)," "I'm Gonna Make You Love Me," a duet with the Diana Ross & the Supremes. With these hits the Temptations broke down social barriers and became cultural icons. Because it's "Complete," the beautifully packaged 3-CD box set also includes the early material, when the "Tempts" were struggling to hang in as Motown grew more and more successful. Among the early rarities is their debut single, "Oh Mother Of Mine," which was never on an LP; a stab at novelty on the short-lived Mel-o-dy label, where the Tempts moonlighted as "the Pirates"; and the local hit "I Want A Love I Can See." Also included: rare German and Italian versions of "My Girl" and more.
Customer Reviews
Great collection and sound fab. Now for those who want the stereo many cd out there with the hard left to right fake stereo, much like the Beatles eary music.For those who don't like this, please note the CD box says "Singles" and Singles AKA 45's were in mono only. So Hip-o is doing it correct for what they were back when released to the public to hear on there radios then go to the store and buy the LP's Mono or Stereo versions.If you want some fun stereo mixes then look no further than the Motown Box on Shout which will have stereo and the songs from many Motown artist will sound different due to the mixes used.When mixing from mono to the Stereo be it the Temps, Beatles or who ever you will always noticed a harder brighter sound to those mixes.Mono was mixed first in the studio because Stereo back in the early 60's was a new format and many did not have stereo record players yet, so the slow move away from mono took several years. To me as long as they have taken the time to master the music right, they will sound just fine on Vinyl and CD's and I have no beef in that arugement, both can sound great or crappy depending on the care taken in producing the final product.Ths is an excellent set and sounds as it should.
