This is, of course, a collection of Temptations tracks, and mostly a fairly-obvious one, though stuff like “My Baby” (and its pretty-decent B-side, “Don’t Look Back”) had to be snipped to fit on the disc, and I was quite insistent on including the always-overlooked “I Want a Love I Can See,” which dates to 1963 and features a Paul Williams (!) lead vocal. (David Ruffin had yet to come on board.) The young lady with the 360-degree perspective was working for Van Raalte.

Once in a while for no particularly good reason I will call out “Time!” as though I were doing my own version of the Chambers Brothers’ “Time Has Come Today,” in which you hear this word shouted at regular intervals. (This particular lyric technique has largely fallen into desuetude: the most recent variation I can recall is the periodic call of “Science!” in Thomas Dolby’s “She Blinded Me With Science,” more than two decades ago. Updates will be welcomed.)

Time is also a good subject for a mix, and Monty has a two-disc mix of time-related songs, including most of the obvious ones (the Chambers Brothers were left on the shelf) and, in a stroke of genius, the Guess Who’s “No Time.” I will have to plunder this for a Time cycle of my own.
