Back then one of the most successful Motown groups, with many international blockbusters (for more please check posts on some of their other albums https://monolover.blogspot.com/search?q=(F%C3%96RH*) ). This was the debute and it's good as such. Not yet the fully fledged hit-machine they would become, but all that secured later fame is already here - the vocals, the vigour and the Holland-Dozier-Holland composing. Languishing rather than bubbly and even if I prefer their up-tempo stuff there's so much feeling you can't avoid beeing touched. "Baby I Need Your Loving" is a today almost forgotten romantic classic. One can dive deep into the tracks "Where Did You Go", "Ask The Lonely", "Without The One You Love", "Love Has Gone" and Sad Souvenirs", all crammed with yearning. Certainly no pick-me-ups, but could be perfect as background to precious love meetings. This UK mono is cut a little too loud for my taste, almost bursting the seams at a few places, but still ok as mood setter. Premiere US and Canadian on Motown (MT/MS 622), also cassette and 8-track. Sixties issues in Holland, South America and Downunder. Japan 2013 remastered CD on Motown (UICY-75841). First UK (as mono only) had label as shown here in a laminated flip/back cover.
