Artist:	THOMAS, CARLA
Title:	Gee Whiz
Label:	ATLANTIC
Format:	LP
Price:	$12.00
Catalog #:	ATL 8057LP

"Thomas' first album was built around the huge title hit, and also included her follow-up single, 'A Love of My Own,' which reached the R&B Top 20, although it wasn't nearly as popular as 'Gee Whiz (Look at His Eyes).' The record is far more pop-oriented than the sound for which Stax would become known, with both the material and the arrangements showing substantial influences from pop standards, doo wop, and even (particularly in the songs with backup vocals by the Anita Kerr Singers) Nashville country." --All Music Guide

Title:	The Queen Alone
Label:	SUNDAZED
Format:	LP
Price:	$19.00
Catalog #:	SC 5137LP

"As shown on Carla and The Queen Alone, Carla Thomas was to Memphis' Stax Records what Aretha was to Atlantic: the label's reigning matriarch, able to wrap her glorious voice around 'B-A-B-Y' and 'Let Me Be Good To You,' chart-toppers from the precocious songwriting team of Isaac Hayes and David Porter, as well as R&B standards like Willie Dixon's 'Little Red Rooster.' Backed by the Stax house combo, fronted by Booker T. and Steve Cropper, Carla also shows off her storied versatility with knockout renderings of 'I'm So Lonesome I Could Cry' and 'I Fall To Pieces'." 180 gram LP reissue, originally issued in 1967 on Stax.
