MEET THE TEMPTATIONS is several years and a whole world away from The Temptations' later incarnation as the socially conscious face of Motown with such hits such as "Ball of Confusion" and "Cloud Nine." First released in 1964, most of the songs included here are fairly innocuous if impeccably performed '60s pop R&B, some of them ("May I Have This Dance," "Isn't She Pretty") carrying the faint but unmistakable whiff of '50s doo-wop.

The inclusion of the group's later hit "The Way You Do the Things You Do" in this subsequent stereo version highlights how far the group and Motown had come in available material and technical ability in just two years. Most of the thrill here is hearing voices such as those of Eddie Kendricks and David Ruffin that would soon become synonymous with the golden age of R&B in their earliest incarnations, transmuting even the most unpromising material into something exceptional.

Includes liner notes by Harry Weinger.

The Temptations: David Ruffin, Eddie Kendricks, Otis Williams, Paul Williams, Melvin Franklin.

Producers: Berry Gordy, Smokey Robinson, Norman Whitfield, Andre Williams, William "Micky" Stevenson.

5 stars Great early work from some soon-to-be icons
This album is just a teaser of the great things that were to come for the guys. There are great leads from Paul & Eddie. My favorites are: I Want A Love I Can See, The Way You Do The Things You Do, Just Let Me Know, Paradise, Dream Come True, Slow Down Heart, Check Yourself, & Your Wonderful Love.

5 stars History
Every Temptation fans should own this. Some of their do wop, gospel and blues influences can be clearly heard on this historic album. There's lots of great Paul Williams singing on this one.

5 stars History that sounds great.
Even with 1964 recording equipment this album sounds great. You just can't keep that great singing from coming through. The temps show thier do wop and rock and roll roots on this album in addition to thier sweet, sweet harmonies and stunning vocals. Anything lacking polish is made up for it with talent.

5 stars Great
As the Temptations first album, it is greatly unappreciated. There are some amazing songs on this CD that have never got the attention they deserve. Well worth whatever price it sells for. Buy two, just in case you scratch the first copy!
