Mary Wells - Bye Bye Baby

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.
