- 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.

- A little bit of everything

I suppose true aficionados of the Temptations will not be satisfied with this "Definitive Collection", but I'm just trying to add to a music collection that has a smattering of something for every musical taste. This collection is perfect for that. It contains mostly songs I have heard and recognize, a few I did not. It's not something that I'm going to listen to hundreds of times, but when it randomly comes up on the Amazon Cloud Player, it's not going to make me get up out of my seat to change the music.

The Amazon MP3 store makes it all too easy to impulse buy music just because you happened to hear a something on the radio and wanted to hear it again. I heard "Just My Imagination" one night on the drive home and decided that I wanted to hear it at least enough more times that I could remember all the words, and that's why I bought this.

Frankly, I'd pretty much stopped buying music at all. As a young adult, I got tired of packing and unpacking the record collection every time I moved and as an older one with kids, Records and CDs were simply not a priority. But now, with hard drives large enough to hold every CD I own and the Amazon Cloud Player available to archive it all, I'm suddenly buying music again. It's nice to be able to add to the record collection without adding to the already overloaded shelves of media that are too hard to catalog. With my own music just a click or two away, I've started to enjoy my music collection, and to add to it again.

- Great CD

I like this cd because it actually had the real great hits on it. Most cd's like this will have songs on them that you've never heard of and didn't deserve to be on the cd. I would recommed this cd.

- Enjoyed the CD

What can you say if you grew up during the time of Motown/Temps you enjoy the CD. It came quickly and was a great price to boot.

Great CD and received in a very timely manner. I've listened to it so much, I may have to order another copy before I wear it out!
