Factory Sealed CD Temptations
Review - Amazon.com
Everything that made Motown's original Greatest Hits series truly great is here, from the 12 brilliant 1964-66 singles to the nothing-fancy front cover. Hardly less powerful than larger packages, this set ranges through the varied approaches the company's assembly line brought to the group's early hits: the intricate metaphors of "My Girl," the heartbreak of "Since I Lost My Baby," the outright rush of "Get Ready." One of the records that helped build the Detroit soul empire. --Rickey Wright

- Greatness immortalized, priced right, priceless.

This early Temptations Greatest Hits collection not only includes power singles like "My Girl" and "Ain't Too Proud To Beg" from the original five Tempts--Paul, Eddie, Otis, David Ruffin and Melvin--but also some of their lesser known hits favored by some of us who had been with them from the beginning, like the smooth "Don't Look Back" and "I'll Be in Trouble". The CD is priced right, and yet, priceless. For the budget impaired like myself, this and the Vol. 2 collection will help me acheive Temptations nirvana until I can work up to the "Emperors of Soul" collection.

- Early Hits

There are more complete compilations out there for the Temptations, but this one has their early hits that are missing from other greatest hits and best of... packages.

- Gordy 919

There seems to be two different Motown CDs for The Temptations Greatest Hits. The CD pictured has the exact vinyl record tracks in Lp order, but the orignal Gordy (Berry Gordy) unique to Motown cover and reverse artwork does not have the black and white back cover Lp artwork featuring The Temptations in step, a wonderful image of Motown talent at work. There's another Motown CD with the exact full Lp picturesleeve artwork, the same 12 tracks, the same Motown sound, but with complete Lp artwork.

Amazon and other references suggest the same release date for the Motown CD, February 3, 1998. The Berry Gordy Lp art is some of the best American Lp artwork I've seen. The artwork matches the Motown sound, and has sold in the billions- worldwide.

Check resources for both CDs. You can't go wrong with Motown recordings

- Unhappy with product

I returned the item as it arrived without the plastic case that should have come with it. Don't know if I'll order it again from another purveyor.
