The Temprees - Lovemen (Valentine Red Vinyl)

The Temprees were a Memphis soul vocal trio powered by one of the great falsettos in pop music, that of Jasper “Jabbo” Phillips. Their 1972 debut Lovemen, produced by Josephine “Jo” Bridges, is aptly named: this is one of the greatest make-out R&B albums ever made, with one smouldering slow jam after another - now freshly remastered all-analog from the original master tapes.

The groups' take on “Dedicated to the One I Love” is rightly considered the greatest version ever made, but “If I Could Say What’s on My Mind,” “Love…Can Be So Wonderful,” and “I Love You, You Love Me,” will get you and your partner’s hips swaying (and patch up any lovers’ quarrels tout suite, too). The heart on the front cover sums this one up…
