The Tempations - All Directions

Limited edition LP

Features the No. 1 hit "Papa Was a Rollin' Stone"

Deluxe 180-gram reissue including original artwork and credits

A superb album produced by Motown's psychedelic mastermind Norman Whitfield. It reached No. 2 on the Billboard 200 in 1972, making it the band's most successful non-collaborative album on the chart. It also became their 12th album to reach No. 1 on the Top R&B Albums chart.

All Directions features the No. 1 hit "Papa Was a Rollin' Stone," which was a 12-minute cover of a Whitfield-produced Undisputed Truth single. "Papa" won three Grammy Awards in 1973: Best R&B Performance by a Group for The Temptations, Best R&B Instrumental Performance for Whitfield and arranger/conductor Paul Riser, and Best R&B Song for Whitfield and lyricist Barrett Strong. It is widely regarded as one of The Temptations' signature numbers.
