The Undisputed Truth

Undisputed Truth's initial lineup of Joe Harris, Billie Calvin and Brenda Evans were easily accessible; a later edition with Harris, Tyrone Berkeley, Tyrone Douglas, Calvin Stephenson and Virginia McDonald was an acquired taste. This 20-song compilation contains tracks from each lineup. From the stalking "Smiling Faces Sometimes," to the psychedelic "Overload," they're here, including their original rendition of "Papa Was A Rolling Stone," that stiffed months before the Temptations' version received so much love it won a Grammy. Contains many unsung heroes, like the rocking "Mama I Got A Bring New Thing," the stompin' "Big John Is My Name," and acid influenced mutha's "UFO's," and "Spaced Out." Plus Billie and Brenda's cooing two part harmonies above Joe's clear-as-a-bell baritone on "Save My Love For A Rainy Day," and the thought provoking "You Make Your Own Heaven And Hell Right Here On Earth." ~ Andrew Hamilton, All Music Guide
