This is a great collection of two full albums cut by these two Motown supergroups at the height of their fame, along with several bonus tracks, b-sides etc. It's a keeper. Motown brought in the best they had to help produce these tracks, including Otis Redding and Nicholas Ashford (of Ashford and Simpson fame),and it shows. They also picked a great collection of songs, including older Motown classics and the great duet "I'm Gonna Make You Love Me." I especially love Mary Wilson's great vocal on "This Guy's In Love With You," and the poignant version of "A Place in the Sun."

The second cd finds the Temps on the verge of their Norm Whitfield "psychedelic soul" excursion, and perhaps they were testing this out a bit with some funky tunes, including a wild version of The Band's "The Weight."

In all, a great re-release and a substantial addition to the canon of these two great bands. If you like this, you may want to pick up the video for their NBC special which immediately preceded this release, T.C.B. A lot of fun for Motown lovers.
