- Meet the Temptations is the 1964 debut album by The Temptations for the Gordy label. It includes most of the group's early singles except for the first, "Oh Mother of Mine", and its b-side, "Romance Without Finance" (later included on a CD reissue of the LP); as well as the single "Mind Over Matter" (and its b-side "I'll Love You Till I Die"), in which the group is credited as The Pirates. Also included is the first Temptations hit single, "The Way You Do the Things You Do". The lineup on the cover features Eddie Kendricks, Melvin Franklin, Paul Williams, Otis Williams, and newest Temptation Davis (later David) Ruffin. Ruffin had just joined the act three months before this album was released, and actually only appears on "The Way You Do The Things You Do". The other tracks all feature original Temptation Elbridge "Al" Bryant, who was fired from the group in December 1963. Again, excepting the hit single, these tracks all date from the Temptations' slow-selling starting period (during which some Motown staffers referred to them as the "hitless Temptations"). Despite local success in Detroit and the midwest, the Temptations released six noncharting singles, and one, "Dream Come True", which made it to #22 on the R&B singles chart. Most of these songs feature Paul Williams as (main) lead, while Kendricks, Bryant, Franklin, and Otis Williams were given plenty of lead lines, ad-libs and harmony vocals heard throughout the album. Kendricks was also given a small handful of songs to lead as well, including the two charting singles. The album was originally issued only in monaural sound. A stereo remix of the album was issued along with the original mono version in 1966. The bonus tracks were added to the album in 1999.
- Meet the Temptations ist ein Album von den Temptations. Erst drei Jahre nach ihrer Vertragsunterzeichnung bei Berry Gordy veröffentlichten die Temptations ihre erste LP. Meet the Temptations ist deshalb hauptsächlich eine Kompilation von Aufnahmen aus diesen drei Jahren. Daher ist auf dem Album (mit einer Ausnahme) die Urformation der Temptations zu hören, also Eldridge Bryant, Melvin Franklin, Eddie Kendricks, Otis Williams und Paul Williams. Lediglich bei The Way You Do the Things You Do wird Bryant bereits von David Ruffin ersetzt, nachdem es intern zu Konflikten zwischen Bryant und dem Rest der Band gekommen war. The Way You Do the Things You Do, mit der Leadstimme von Falsettsänger Eddie Kendricks, wurde auch der erste große Hit der Gruppe. Für den Großteil des Albums übernimmt allerdings Bariton/Tenor Paul Williams (The Temptations) die Leadstimme dieses frühen Motown-Werkes, in dem der typische Motown-Sound noch nicht ganz gefunden ist, Gesang und musikalische Begleitung aber schon den späteren Maßstäben entsprechen. Da Meet the Temptations anfangs nur in mono veröffentlicht wurde, erschien im Januar 1966 auch eine Stereoversion.
