Sky‘s The Limit

Quote from Cryptic Rock:

The songwriting team of Norman Whitfield and Barrett Strong really drove home some wisdom-laden and thought-provoking lyrics. Brought to life by The Temptations’ performances and Whitfield’s simply outstanding production, Sky’s The Limit is an album that crosses boundaries into Rock, Soul, but also much more.

All these positive allocates to consider, even still, the hand’s down highlight of it all is “Smiling Faces Sometimes.” Yes, the song would become a Top 5 hit with The Undisputed Truth instead, The Temptations’ twelve-plus minute edition is nothing less than an experience you have to hear to believe.

That is why it is extremely exciting to learn Elemental Music has selected it as one of their Motown vinyl reissues in 2024. Released on October 18th, this new limited edition release is pressed to a 140 gram vinyl, and let us just say the sound really pops with every twist and turn.

Sounding warm and rich, this new vinyl captures the magic of the original recordings. This is all while you also get the original cover and back art on a very solid single vinyl jacket. Overall, Elemental Records made an extremely wise selection by reissuing Sky’s The Limit to vinyl, because Cryptic Rock gives the release 5 out of 5 stars.
