About this copy: This copy of All Directions is a 1972 U.S. pressing on the Gordy label.

The cover is M- and still has the original shrink wrap.

The disc is M- with one or two very faint sleeve scuffs, but no spindle marks on the labels and no significant marks on the vinyl.  Clean disc!

This disc was pressed at the RCA Hollywood pressing plant on “Dynaflex” vinyl; it weighs only 95 grams.

This comes from our own collection; we bought it sealed and probably played it twice.

A nice copy of a classic R&B LP.

Background: Released in 1972, All Directions was the sixteenth album by the Temptations.

The album reached #2 on the U.S. charts, helped by the single “Papa Was a Rolling Stone.”  The album reached #19 on the UK chart.

Allmusic.com gave All Directions a 4 1/2 star review:

A monster album, the one that put them back in the spotlight and signaled that Norman Whitfield had saved the day. Damon Harris had replaced Eddie Kendricks, and there were many doubters convinced the band was finished. Instead, Whitfield revitalized them via the majestic single, “Papa Was a Rollin’ Stone.” Despite its length, Whitfield’s decision to open with an extensive, multi-layered musical suite and tease listeners was a master stroke.
