This is part of MCA's 20th Century Masters: The Millennium Collection series.
A handy primer for the uninitiated, the 11-track budget-priced 20TH CENTURY MASTERS VOLUME ONE is an excellent overview of the Temptations' very best '60s singles. Probably the most consistently talented group of Motown's golden era, The Temptations released literally dozens of terrific singles, but the compilers of this collection managed the difficult feat of paring down this tremendous pile of work down to a solid overview of the group's absolute finest moments. Other than Norman Whitfield's psychedelic anti-drug song "Cloud Nine," the anthology sticks to the Temptations' masterful string of Holland-Dozier-Holland love songs. There's simpluy no arguing about the quality of songs like "My Girl," "The Way You Do The Things You Do" and "Ain't Too Proud to Beg," and even lesser-known singles like "Beauty is Only Skin Deep" are classics. Fans already have all of these songs, of course, but this is both a great introduction and an indispensable party album.
Producers: Smokey Robinson, Norman Whitfield, Frank Wilson, Nickolas Ashford.
Compilation producer: Harry Weinger.

$8.65
BIGGER AND DEFFER was the album which took LL from up-and-coming artist to the mantle of both pop star and rap legend. The title track, the album' s opening mission statement was only one of BIGGER AND DEFFER's memorable hits--"I Need Love," a disarmingly gentle ballad pushed the rap genre in a new direction, contrasting the album's otherwise hard edge with "soft" keyboard track and a confessional, vulnerable lyric. "Go Cut Creator Go" blends crushing guitars and myriad other samples in what remains one of hip-hop's slickest turntable tracks. Though the requisite hometown shoutouts abound, LL extols the virtues of one of New York's less-frequented attractions in "The Bristol Motel," a sordid spot in his native Queens.
LL Cool J rocketed to the top of the hip-hop world in 1985 with Radio, his astonishing debut, but he lost his footing a bit with Bigger and Deffer, his mildly disappointing follow-up that proved to be a commercial breakthrough all the same. It's a powerful album that gets underway with a bang, as LL raps, "No rapper can rap quite like I can," and makes his case throughout the album-opening ...
