The Temptations Sing Smokey is the second studio album by the Temptations for the Motown label, released on the Gordy Records subsidiary (G 912) in 1965. As its name implies, it is composed entirely of songs written and produced by Smokey Robinson, and several other members of the Miracles as well.

Several of the songs are covers of songs Robinson produced for the Miracles or Mary Wells, while the rest were originally recorded by The Temptations. Among these are three successful hit singles, starting with "The Way You Do the Things You Do", which featured Eddie Kendricks on lead vocals. The next two songs feature lead vocals by new Temptation David Ruffin – "It's Growing" and the group's signature song, "My Girl". - Wikipedia

I find comment 'bout my looks irrelativity
Think I'll go and have some fun 'cause it's all for free
I'm not searching for a reason to enjoy myself
Seems it's better done than argued with somebody else
Over, Under, Sideways, Down

Fool on the Hill is the fourth studio album by Sérgio Mendes and Brasil '66, released in 1968.

This is the first album featuring the second edition of Brasil '66. Mendes replaced all of the original band members (with the exception of lead singer Lani Hall). The dismissed members went on to form the short-lived group, The Carnival, which released one self-titled album in 1969. This is also the first appearance of Gracinha Leporace on a Sérgio Mendes album.

The album features two top 40 pop singles: the title track and "Scarborough Fair". The traditional English folk song (covered notably by Simon & Garfunkel) was featured in both the trailer and the soundtrack for the 1973 film Heavy Traffic. - Wikipedia

Explosion, also known as Equals Explosion, is the second album by the Equals, released in December 1967.

Probably most notable for:

"Police on My Back"

In 1980, the Clash recorded a cover version of the song for their album Sandinista!, and turned "the mid-paced soul-pop song into a charged-up, full-powered rocker". Their version featured guitarist Mick Jones on lead vocals, and was released as a single, but only in Australia. It was described as a "punk anthem at a time of political and social repression", and as their "most full-throated rock song since I Fought The Law." - Wikipedia

Haven’t heard anything from the Moodys in awhile. In my case, it’s more nights in red flannel. 😁 All I know is the album title kinda kicks ass.

Meet the Temptations is the debut studio album by the Temptations for the Gordy (Motown) label released in 1964.

Review by Bruce Eder

The Temptations' first LP, released three years into the group's history with Motown, is also a great record, even though it wasn't really an album so much as a collection of their early singles, hooked around their then new hit, "The Way You Do the Things You Do." Those expecting the classic Temptations sound should also be aware that David Ruffin is absent from all of the tracks except "The Way You Do the Things You Do," which was cut just after he joined, replacing Elbridge "Al" Bryant. The LP represents the evolution of the act and its sound, as well as a succession of producers...

Go Away from My World is the second American studio album by British singer Marianne Faithfull. Andrew Loog Oldham was the executive producer with David Bailey and Gered Mankowitz credited for the photography.

Though the song "Come My Way" had been the title track of her second British album, the version on that album was from a different session and a considerably different performance than that included here. - Wikipedia
