It's amazing that one of Lamont Dozier's most satisfying LPs appeared on the miniscule, short-lived M&M Records. No, there's nothing as pointedly woeful as &Fish Ain't Bitin',& as compelling as &Why Can't We Be Lovers,& or as gripping as &Trying to Hold on to My Woman,& but on his previous albums, the pickings got slim once you got past those songs. Not so here; there's enough to keep you listening through all nine selections, with the standouts being &You Oughta Be in Pictures,& the pulsating &The Pressure Is On,& and the toe-tapping, handclapping &Shout About It.&
