A worthy remastering, this is the CD version of the eight-song cassettes released by Motown in 1989. Three extra tracks have been added, which is not nearly enough; these would be better buys if they contained at least 15 songs, since most of the tracks are less than three minutes. Three lead singers are featured: Gladys Horton, Wanda Young-Rogers, and Ann Bogan. Bogan shakes the walls with the rip-snorting, in-your-face "Everybody Knows But You." Young-Rogers sings many choice selections, including an eloquent "Message to Michael," the charming "You the One," and "Tonight was Made for Love." The two big hits here, "Playboy" and "Beechwood," are sung by Gladys "Please Mr. Postman" Horton, who before Young-Rogers defined the Marvelettes sound. ~ Andrew Hamilton, Rovi
