Charly Records presents Gladys Knight & The Pips - Letter Full Of Tears (60th Anniversary 'Diamond' Edition) 

This LP Special Edition collates, for the first time, the complete recordings from the groups breakthrough hit to the famed signing with Motown Records. This vinyl LP of ‘Letter Full Of Tears’ is the definitive introduction to the group’s foundation years, where Gladys Knight’s voice was as surprising as it was brilliant, fully formed, and distinctive from the start. It also showcases the breathtaking group harmonies, honed from nearly a decade of performing together.

This was the time when the group perfected – through hours on stage and working with famed Motown dance coach Cholly Atkins – the routines that would make them stand apart and excite audiences. In short this is where the legend of Gladys Knight And The Pips began! This fabulous package contains the complete Fury and Maxx productions including the Top Ten Billboard R&B hits “Every Beat Of My Heart” (#15), “Letter Full Of Tears” (#3) and “Giving Up” (#6). Curated and annotated by Dean Rudland, Acid Jazz.
