  • Description

    Limited edition 180g vinyl audiophile pressing, original album + 4 bonus tracks.
    Mary Wells developed a unique stage persona that was both shy and sexy at the same time. She became a star when Berry Gordy signed her as a teenager and her first Motown hits (such as "Bye Bye Baby" and "The One Who Really Loves You") helped to define the emerging sound of the Detroit label in the early 1960s. Presented here is Wells' magnificent and long-unavailable debut album for Motown, Bye, Bye Baby. This is the material upon which Mary Wells' reputation and personal style were built.



    Mary Wells: vocals; Eddie Willis: guitar; James Jamerson: bass; Richard "Popcorn" Wylie: piano; Benny Benjamin, Richard Allen: drums; Paul Risa: trombone.

    Backing vocals: Wanda Young, Georgeanna Tillman, Wyanette Cowart, Katherine.



    Recorded in Detroit between 1960 and 1961.

    Produced by Berry Gordy Jr.
