A less than 4 star rating for this tremendous album? Are you kidding me?!? This is one of the all-time great funk rock albums ever recorded! -
It's interesting the short version of STANDING ON THE TOP is on this album whereas most would have released the full version, however, the full version exists on The Temptations album REUNION.
