Reissue, originally released in 1961. Ground-breaking girl group the Marvelettes were the first successful female group and the first hitmaking act for Motown after the Miracles. Gladys Horton formed the quartet in the Glee Club of Inkster High School with Katherine Anderson, Georgeanna Tillman, Wyanetta Cowart (known as Juanita) and Georgeanna Dobbins, who dropped out prior to the Motown deal, replacement Wanda Young sharing lead duties with Horton. Debut single "Please Mr. Postman" is the immortal classic that spawned the debut album of the same name, part-shaped by Smokey Robinson and Marvin Gaye, a must-have capturing their budding glory. Clear vinyl.

The third album from Motown girl group The Marvelettes, Playboy, was originally released in 1962, shortly following the success of the hit title-track and the immortal "Beechwood 4-5789." If these two floor-filling classics weren't enough, the album is rounded out by the gorgeous ballad "Forever," which would make the charts a year later, the ace B-side "Someday, Someway," and six more numbers written by folks with names like Smokey Robinson; Berry Gordy, Jr.; and the unparalleled team of Holland-Dozier-Holland. More Motor City perfection on Rumble.
