I Need You
The Temptations
1990, 1973
Think you know the Temptations? I thought I did too, until I was in Academy LPs one day about three years ago and that cool bald dude (I never caught his name) put “Ain’t No Justice” (from this LP) on the store turntable before filing it in the $1 bin. Well, it never made it to the bin.
This is easily one of the best, if not the best LP from the Temptations’ “psychedelic” period, but very few people seem to know it or have even seen it. If I was one of those competitive record dudes, I wouldn’t be posting this song because the drum breaks are sick! And I haven’t really heard anyone use it for anything big. The look I get from people when I play it for them is too priceless to keep it to myself. My friend Tony gave me the look when I played it for him but then I gave it right back when he played me the Jay-Z remix he made with it.
I buy this LP whenever I see a clean copy of it for cheap. I have three right now and I know I’ve given at least a few away. If you buy vinyl, keep your eyes peeled because I’m guessing that there are no plans to reissue this anytime soon on CD!

Ain’t No Justice – yes, is the best
I can’t find the album “1990″ in my country (Romania) and I’m sad but this is the life, isn’t it? Thanks for shareing my oppinion.
