Recording began in 1966. Smokey Robinson handled much of the production. There is also production from James Dean and William Weatherspoon who would provide material for the The Marvelette's next album. Producers felt that the group needed to offer a sound more mature and developed that contrasted their previous recordings.[2] This album contains only two singles: "The Hunter Gets Captured by the Game" (#13 US, # 2 R&B) which was written and produced by Robinson, and its follow-up, a remake of "When You're Young and in Love" (#23 US, #9 R&B, #13 UK) which was the group's only single to reach UK charts.[3] The Marvelettes stopped at #129 US and was more successful on the R&B chart, at #13.
