The Tams & the Impressions - More of Tams & Impressions Greatest Hits (CD)

All Music Guide

MCA Special Products' More of the Tams the Impressions' Greatest Hits sparks the question -- where is the original The Tams the Impressions' Greatest Hits? It doesn't exist. That's a salient point, since the collection relies on second-tier Tams songs and front-rank Impressions hits (such as "People Get Ready" and "Amen"), resulting in an uneven listen, especially since the tracks alternate between the two groups. Nevertheless, the record is a good, entertaining listen, since the Impressions were brilliant and the Tams were very, very good, indeed -- and even if some of these songs weren't hits, they were still good songs. The result is a collection that's worth its budget price, even if it is nowhere near definitive.
