Album Notes & Community Reviews

Guided by the visionary production of Norman Whitfield, the Motown vocal trio's third album is a defining, fuzz-drenched landmark of psychedelic soul. Featuring highly extended, groove-heavy reinterpretations of tracks previously recorded by The Temptations, the dense, cinematic arrangements provide a perfect backdrop for the group's intense, socially conscious vocal deliveries. It remains a crucial text in the darker, more experimental fringes of 1970s R&B.
