As someone who has followed the Temptations for 40plus years I looked forward very much to the release of this collection,and as far as collections go it's really good,one thing you will find though is that a lot of the early songs like The way you do the things you do,My girl and others are in mono and yet the original albums when they were released on cd these songs were in stereo,the version of old man river on this collection for me wasn't as good as on the Temptaions live album,I definitely feel you should still have this collection but albums like Temptations sing Smokey,Temptin' Temptations,and just about all of their 1964-1975 music is timeless after they left Motown for a short period in the late 70's and returned they have never seemed quite the same but occasionally they'll do one like the Phoenix rising cd which gave us Stay,but hey I'm a fan for life just in a different way...
