"Pure Smokey" [LP] Pure Smokey was William "Smokey" Robinson's second solo album after leaving The Miracles. It was issued on Motown's Tamla label in 1974 and presents mostly songs composed by Robinson along with Marv Tarplin, another ex-Miracle who joined Robinson in California after leaving the group. Marv didn't only assist Smokey, he wrote, played guitar, toured, etc. Hits from the album include, "I Am I Am" (#6 R&B), "Virgin Man" (#12 R&B), and "It's Her Turn To Live," a tribute to mothers co-written by Tarplin (#29 R&B).

Robert F. ★★★★★

The vinyl is dead quiet between tracks, letting Smokey's smooth vocals really shine through. I’ve had it on repeat all weekend and the pressing quality feels excellent for a 50-year-old album.

Richard N. ★★★★☆

Side A has a warmer, more intimate feel compared to some of his later work, which I really enjoyed. The vinyl arrived in perfect shape, but the inner sleeve was a bit tight and scuffed the disc slightly when I first pulled it out. Still, it's a great pressing of a classic album for any Motown fan.
