The Ultimate Collection A brave effort at cramming one disc full of Temptations classics, The Ultimate Collection nevertheless makes a couple of puzzling choices. Why, for instance, include "Error of Our Ways," a very minor mid-'90s hit, and ignore "Beauty Is Only Skin Deep" or "I Could Never Love Anoth...	The Ultimate Collection Cramming 25 songs onto a single CD, this set captures the Tops during their peak 1960s years, when they rode the pens of Holland, Dozier, and Holland to the top of the charts. Combining the writers' pop melodies, a gentle Motown groove, and Levi Stubbs' earthy lead vocals, the gr...	The Temptations They were the rhythm and blues sensation five singers who created a sound and style that redefined the boundaries of popular song. But there was a price to be paid for their meteoric rise and when the pressures became to great to bear rivalries threatened to tear them apart forev...	The Ultimate Collection Smokey Robinson and the Miracles' 25-cut disc is the single most impressive one of Motown's Ultimate Collection series (which features 17 artists).

The Best of the Stylistics This is an early collection that gathers the group's hits up to 1975.

very good music
i found all the music that i was looking for and some that i had not heard in years by the super group the temptations

THIS IS THE ONE TO GET.
Most audiophiles are aware that Motown has mostly a mess for original tapes. There are also many monoaural tracks peddled on too many 'greatest hits' compilations. More to the point: this is the best Temptations CD I have heard -- better than Compact Command Performance. It sounds as thought some tracks are the 'electronically rechanneled for stereo listening" versions. But, hey, ... what are you gonna do? You want Temps or not? It also seems through my old Sony V900 headphones that they went too heavy on the bass. If you have Cooledit, or something similar, you may wish to use it on these tracks. All considered, I can tell you I was in high school when Cloud Nine came out, and I am really enjoying listening to all of these cuts! This is the one to get, alright.

5 stars minus 1 for redundancy
Definitely 5-star material, performances, and sound quality, but this is a complete clone of the recent "My Girl : The Best of..." anthology. It all comes down to packaging, and therefore the nod goes to "My Girl" for its ample track-by-track notes and commentary by original Tempt Otis Williams.
