Tamla Special No. 1
Ordinarily, a label that merely gathers together the A and B sides of five or so of its recent output to assemble an album would not normally be of much interest, but when the label concerned is Tamla, then that is a different story. Whilst several of the tracks will be almost instantly recognisable, such as Money and Shop Around, there are one or two surprises, especially both sides of the Singin Sammy Ward & Sherri Taylor single. The rather simplistic artwork gives the impression that Tamla (part of Motown, in case you didnt know) was using this as an introduction to the label rather than a real attempt to break into the album market, but its a historic release all the same.
