If you are going to a desert island and can only have one CD, take this one. It is my absolute favorite CD. Every track is dynamite. There isn't a clunker on the whole thing. Very upbeat. Very consistent mood and tone. It's very interesting that the Dramatics never came close to this level before or after this album.

Can't imagine anybody not liking this, but nobody seems to have heard of it.

When I was a lot younger, I played this vinyl album over and over. One of my all time favorites and just listening to the songs again, especially the soul-stirring "In the Rain" made all of my troubles float away on the chords of some of the most beautiful music ever recorded. This album is one of the greatest blessings of my life!

The version of the great "In the Rain" on this album is NOT the full-length album version (almost 5 minutes long) but the single version (about 3 1/2 minutes). It appears someone got lazy in their remastering and just tossed the one from the Greatest Hits on here. It's a shame because this is a great album.

CD IS AWESOME i CAN'T GIVE IT A BETTER REVIEW THAN ANYONE ELSE WHO GAVE IT 5 STARS.

Now i have to address length of " In the Rain" there seems to be some controversy.

I made sure before I ordered it was the original album version 5:12 not 3 1/2 mins

I did so by emailing the person who i wanted to buy it from used and she told me.

it seems those who got robbed with the radio single version of "in the Rain on this cd got one from early on & they were heard & it got fixed on versions out there now.

But again to make sure ask first or if u find it outside of AMAZON check it first.

This is a wonderful CD for Dramatics' fans. Transaction went very smoothly and I received it in a very timely manner.

Never mind the In The Rain version hick-up. This is surely one of the the GREATEST Sould/Funk albums of all times. Get it, play it to your children so they know what good funky soulful music sounds like.

This 1972-released classic album put the Dramatics on the map. The title track, "In The Rain" and "Hot Pants In The Summertime" are naturally considered all-time Soul classics and this CD should be in any serious '70s R&B fan's collection. I gaveit (only) a 3-star rating because the original version of "In The Rain" was omitted in favor of the single version.
