NEW CD RELEASE!!
LIMITED EDITION - MINI-LP PAPERSLEEVE GATEFOLD REPLICAS
"Psychedelic Shack" (1970) by The Temptations is the album which represents the bands’ full-blown submergence into psychedelia. Completely written by Norman Whitfield and Barrett Strong and produced by Whitfield, "Psychedelic Shack" almost completely abandoned the “Motown Sound” formula; hard rock guitars, synthesizer sound effects, multitracked drums, sampling, and stereo-shifting vocals give most of the album’s songs a harder, less traditional feel than The Temptations’ previous work.
"Psychedelic Shack" was the final album completed before the third incarnation of The Temptations (Dennis Edwards, Paul Williams, Eddie Kendricks, Melvin Franklin, and Otis Williams) broke apart.
Recorded between November 1969 and February 1970,
Hitsville U.S.A., Detroit, Michigan.
