Letter Full of Tears [60th Anniversary Diamond Edition Clear Vinyl] in Bloomington, MN

A good anthology of early tracks by
Gladys Knight & the Pips
, these were recorded for the Fury label in the early '60s. They were far from a polished act at the time, and didn't get the caliber of material or production they'd receive later at Motown. But the potential was shown on several tracks, notably the title cut, which the group did when
Knight
was only 12 years old. They later made another version of the song for Motown. This has better sound than some earlier Collectables titles. ~ Ron Wynn
