This definitively FUNKY song was recorded by The Tempts for their 1972 album All Directions...



Now, I absolutely adore the song [[and its versions by Edwin Starr and Yvonne Fair) but have many questions about it...

The sound quality is "fuzzy" and in mono and it sounds as if it were recorded live. In fact, the single release of the song [[the B-Side of "Mother Nature") states that it was "recorded live at the Funky Monkey"...

However, the DFTMC website lists the track as having been recorded in Motown's Golden World studio... so it's not live? Is it a "fake" live recording?

Thanks for any help
