The Temptations – The Temptations Greatest Hits (Vinyl LP, 1966, Gordy GLP 919, Mono, Rockaway Pressing)

Why This Record Matters
This 1966 compilation gathers the Temptations’ early Motown hits including “My Girl,” “The Way You Do The Things You Do,” “Get Ready,” “Ain’t Too Proud To Beg,” and “Beauty Is Only Skin Deep.” The collection became a long-running seller during the group’s classic 1960s period. It documents recordings from the era associated with the group’s breakthrough work with Motown songwriters and producers.
