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\u0026amp;B in their earliest incarnations, transmuting even the most unpromising material into something exceptional.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReleased: 2018-06-15\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFormat: Vinyl\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFormat: Vinyl\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReleased: 2018-06-15\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Love Vinyl Records","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49260035506418,"sku":"U4SK8H-VYO8-F9","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0830\/7018\/9810\/files\/temptations-meet-the-temptations_vgvD0.jpg?v=1779722506","url":"https:\/\/discandvinyl.com\/products\/meet-the-temptations","provider":"DiscandVinyl.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
