As the first Temptations hits package Motown released, Greatest Hits, Vol. 1 appeared a little over two years into the group's career, but it remains an excellent hits collection. Not all of the 12 tracks were giant hits -- "The Girl's Alright with Me," "Since I Lost My Baby," "It's Growing" and "I'll Be in Trouble" never became as ubiquitous as "The Way You Do the Things You Do," "My Girl," "Ain't Too Proud to Beg" and "Get Ready," all of which are included here -- but the lesser-known tracks are terrific in their own right and help make the album a dynamic experience. Nevertheless, those minor hits and album tracks date Greatest Hits, illustrating that it was released during the group's extraordinary run. They also mean that anyone looking for a definitive single-disc collection should look to the latter-day collections, which contain all the hits from this album and Greatest Hits, Vol. 2 and thereby offer a better bargain for the casual fan.

Track listing: Way You Do The Things You Do, The - My Girl - Ain't Too Proud To Beg - Don't Look Back - Get Ready - Beauty Is Only Skin Deep - Since I Lost My Baby - Girl's Alright With Me, The - My Baby - It's Growing - I'll Be In Trouble - Girl (Why You Wanna Make Me Blue)

For its extraordinary contribution to the contemporary music, superb production, craftsmanship, fine musicianship, revolutionary significance and influence it exerted on numerous generations of musicians, songwriters and general public, or for some other inherent quality, this album was voted one of top-200 albums of all time in one of the largest poll of critics, music reviewers, show business professionals and producers ever organized: the poll, which was conducted by Paul Gambaccini, the legendary BBC Radio A&R man, surveyed more than 50 top music professionals (including Roy Carr, Jonathan Cott, Robert Christgau, Cameron Crowe, Chet Flippo, Ben Fong-Torres, Charlie Gillett, Greil Marcus, Murray the K., Lenny Kaye, Bruce Morrow (a/k/a "Cousin Brucie"), Tim Rice , Lisa Robinson, Robert Shelton, Ed Ward, Joel Whitburn, Pete Wingfield, etc.).

The so-called "MINI" (or Juke Box) LPs ARE NOT to be confused for regular 7-inch, 4-track EPs which were widely commercially available. The 7-inch MINI LP's were made EXCLUSIVELY for use in Jukebox machines or for other promotional purposes and were usually accompanied by the set of 4- or 6 jukebox labels (usually, but not always, replicating the original cover artwork). The MINI LP's were NEVER commercially available in any way, manner or form, and are usually NOT listed as a separate category in the record collecting price books and directories. Unlike EP records which usually came with 4 tracks (2 on each side), MINI LPs were exactly what the name suggests: a mini version of the complete 12-inch album, usually with 3 (or even 4!) tracks on each side. MINI LPs were, therefore, supposed to be representative snapshots of the artist's latest album. We proudly present here a mighty rare specimen of the original JUKEBOX LP, complete with a set of jukebox labels (please see the image below). Mouthwatering is the right word here. Good luck finding one of these anywhere!
