How about "Its The Law Of The land" off their "Masterpiece" L.P.

In Britain it was released as a 45 and managed to reach #41 on the charts.

The poster has an earlier incarnation of the group on his video .. "Cloud Nine" era, wich is a shame, but I thought you all might like to see the label scan.

Thanks, classic shot during their " Live At Copa sessions'".......by the way that was Mr. Babbitt on bass......and it was amazing how the Tempts hand-claps has been a consistent trademark of the group.........never more evident than in this great record......
