The Tempts were the most successful male group at Motown, I believe their albums outsold the Miracles or the Tops consistently. They were also extremely creative and went through so many great singers and musical styles, hardly missing a beat.
I also have the "Psychedelic Soul" collection as well as the "One by One" collection, and both are fantastic examples of their 70s output, well put together, annotated and beautifully remastered.
I imagine as prolific as they were there must be lots in the vaults. We haven't even seen a "Lost and Found" set on them.
Aside from the Tops [[Lost and Found, Breaking Through) and the Miracles [[mostly straight album reissues), the male groups seem to have been neglected by the reissuers.
