Put together by esteemed writer-producer Norman
Whitfield, the Undisputed Truth were one of
Motown's flagship acts in the early-mid 70s, with 15
R&B chart hits - including their near chart-topper
'Smiling Faces Sometimes' and the original version
of 'Papa Was A Rolling Stone' - and a string of
best-selling albums.
Surprisingly, only one of the original four Motown
albums by the group's classic one-guy- two-girl trio
has ever been reissued on CD until now. Generally
regarded by fans as the group's best, it's a pleasure
to finally have these albums available digitally, as
they were originally heard.
"Nothing But The Truth" features the group's
eponymous debut plus their "Down To Earth" and
"Law Of The Land" albums in their entirety and as
originally issued by US Motown. It also features a
generous selection of non-album A and B sides,
previously un-reissued alternate single mixes and
edits plus other rarities from UT's golden era.
With typically extensive annotation and illustration
throughout, the sleeve note is based around a new
interview with Joe Harris, the group's featured male
lead throughout its Motown tenure.
Kent's latest addition to its ever-growing Motown
range will definitely win the approval of the many
Motown completists who have been clamouring for
the reissue of these albums on CD for many, many
years.
