Now this is a classic. There are 7 songs on this great CD and every song is sung with the mastery, that only the Tempts could sing them with. I've waited a long time for this CD to be released. As I've said on other reviews about The Temptations, this CD shows the true greatness of the underated Damon Harris, and for me, opened my eyes, finally to the greatness of Dennis Edwards. Dennis sings his 'you know what off' on "Let Your Hair Down " and " You Set My Soul on Fire". Damon is excellent as usual, on " I need you " and he and Richard are great on " Heavenly ". Richard,Damon and Dennis are great on "Ain't No Justice " ,as well . I especially love the song entitled " Zoom ". It reminds of " Papa was a Rolling Stone " . They all seem to be having a lot of fun singing this song, and I have fun listening to them sing it. " 1990 " is a very underated, but great song too. Finally, let me add that the social messages are as important today as they were when The Temptations sang them. The entire CD is definetly worth five stars.

This is a tremendous album. I have been a long time fan of Edwards and Damon, who I always felt gave Ruffin and Kendricks a run for their money, and this album demonstrates their superior vocal skills. Now, for my money, "All Directions" (feat. 'Papa was a Rolling Stone') and "A Song for You" (feat 'A Song for You', 'Memories') were better overall albums track for track, but that's like saying I prefer Lexus to Mercedes. Where I actually prefer this album to any Temps album is the tenor of the messages in the lyrics, artfully reflected in great vocals with a music score that is intelligent, and not overblown (sometimes I feel that current artists don't understand that, often, less is more). I was pleasantly surprised, and encouraged, by what I see as an effort by some record labels to finally begin to fill some of the disgraceful gaps in album reissues in the R&B genre. "Greatest Hits" compilations can never, NEVER do justice to reflecting the concepts that are instilled in true album releases. Good for you, Guys. Keep it up!!!!

I grew up listening to The Temptations, and I bought his album when it was initially released. I was never a fan of the radio hits "You've Got My Soul On Fire" and "Let Your Hair Down." They aren't bad songs, but for me they just didn't live up to their previous hits, or some of the hits that followed on the album "A Song For You." But the rest of the tracks on "1990" more than make up for the shortcomings of those two tracks. "Heavenly" is a smooth a love ballad as you'd ever want to hear, and is equaled by "I Need You." "There Ain't No Justice" is an excellent social commentary. "Zoom" and "1990" both could have been hit singles, in my opinion. Overall, "1990" is a disc worth having, and it's about time this one was released on CD.

Having collected every LP and CD by the Temptations this is very close to their best work. As with all Norman Whitfield tracks the production is excellant. Every track is outstanding, but prefering their faster tracks I feel the best track on the CD is Let Your Hair Down.
