While I personally prefer the J5's funk rock-ish version, this one does it for me especially when it segues to Take a Stroll. The coldest track the Tempts did during the psychedelic period imho.

Well, I just listened to "Take A Stroll Thru Your Mind" for the first full time. I mean, wow... even as a massive Temptations fan, I'd probably need to be as high as Norman was to appreciate that one. :rolleyes:
Lol @ TT123, well that's how I do it sometimes. ;)
Take a Stroll is trippy though, that's why I love it. Maybe I'm just a weirdo. :D
Not weird,just a temptaholic!!
Or a stoner? :DQuote:

I think you're all three midnight. :cool:
What is your favourite song from this album? Mine used to be "You Need Love Like I Do [[Don't You)" but I think it's "Psychedelic Shack" now. Everything about the track is just on point. :)
My favourite track on album is "You Make Your Own Heaven and Hell Right Here on Earth".Quote:

Reach Out & Touch your Soul' during "Take A Stroll" gave me goose bumps when I first heard the song back in 1970. Still feel it's a high point in the groups' "psychedelic/cinematic soul" era.
Almost forgot about that one martin, I love that one too. Love the The Tempts' original but also The Undisputed Truth's "Smiling Faces"-ish version.Quote:

Haha... :cool:Quote:
