The Undisputed Truth - Nothing But The Truth (2017)

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.
