B is interesting, but it's just two or three people jamming on some chord changes that someone happened to record. It's a complete throwaway.
'I Know I'm Losing You' is AMAZING.

A is a great track, but B without a shadow of a doubt; wonderfully woozy weirdness.

That's an interestingly horizontal psych track, B. New to me! But A is just everything exciting and urgent and ace about this pop music thing.

B
gets a vote for being a little more off the beaten track.

A. I had fun with the other one but voting against the Temps track would feel like voting against the Statue of Liberty or something.

A - But I love them both. You can't win against top tier Temptations with a noodly fun piece like the second one.

A is by far the best example of that kind of thing we've had so far. Dramatic and stately without overdoing it.
B has a nice sound and is intriguing for a minute or so, but basically it's the sound of somebody who's just found a couple of new knobs on the effects board and doesn't really know what to do with them.

a I much preferred the earlier material by the Temptations, when they were more pop and ballad oriented. That said, they were the only one of the great Motown acts of the ’60s who carried on into the ’70s without turning to shit, but for me this is one of their lesser singles. 5 / 10
b a minute in, and nothing has happened. It's an instrumental, then? And one that doesn't develop, or spark off, or in any way reveal itself to be an attempt to engage with the listener, just lies there purring for three minutes, then expires. Oh well. 3.5 / 10
