A preowned UK pressing of The Temptations' 1973 album Masterpiece on Tamla Motown.

Produced by Norman Whitfield, Masterpiece marked a bold shift into extended psychedelic funk and social commentary — a world away from the group's earlier pop hits. The near-14-minute title track is a landmark of early 70s soul, and tracks like Law Of The Land and Plastic Man show the band at their most adventurous. An essential piece of Motown history, released in the UK in June 1973.

Track List:
A1. Hey Girl (I Like Your Style) (4:39)
A2. Masterpiece (13:54)
B1. Ma (4:46)
B2. Law Of The Land (5:08)
B3. Plastic Man (6:06)
B4. Hurry Tomorrow (8:08)

Grading:
Media: Very Good (VG) — plays well with light signs of use. The record has a couple of light marks and several spindle marks on the label.
Sleeve: Good Plus (G+) — the sleeve is intact but shows signs of wear around the corners and spine, along with some light staining on the back.
