Temptations - Bare Back (1978) {Atlantic ATL50504} Vinyl Rip 16bit/44.1kHz

Produced by Brian Holland, and he's imitating the Ohio Players blatantly, from the album cover on down. But the funk's not nearly as fiery as the Players' (title track), and it comes off as a failed attempt to keep up with trends - ditto for the overproduced disco numbers ("Mystic Woman"). The Tempts are at their best here when they stick with their earlier smooth balladeering (the lovely "Ever Ready Love"); the uptempo "I Just Don't Know How To Let You Go" is also enjoyable but slight.This album had never been released on CD.The rip is from LP in mint condition.Special thanks to the original uploader.
