The production's all present and front and centre, but the songs are a bit wishy washy.

I like ones. These tasteful ballads, less so.

I wonder what kind of contract Motown had all these musicians on?

I'd describe them as plodding rather than tasteful.

Awesome edit.

Track 7 - I Don't Want To Lose You.

Really really nasty ones. I'd imagine.

I mean, there must be well over 20 people playing the backing.

Classical musicians trying to make ends meet etc...

This is a right duffer.

There's barely a recognisable song present.

Some kind of lump sum deal I imagine.

Last track - You're What's Missing in My Life.

Sprightly arrangement.

More promising.

Is that BB King?

And full use of their recording for perpuity with all copyright given to Motown Records

Young Hearts Run Free.

This album has gone on longer than 26 minutes.

Half a song repeated to fade.

I liked a couple of the tracks, but that second side was a dreary slog to get through.

★★

It is over.

It was competent but undistinguished and nondescript.

Now to look back at the thread and see what everybody else made of it.
