BACKGROUND INFO FROM ALLMUSIC.COM WEBSITE:
Time and legions of other soul superstars have obscured the fact that for a brief moment, Mary Wells was Motown's biggest star. She came to the attention of Berry Gordy as a 17-year-old, hawking a song she'd written for Jackie Wilson; that song, "Bye Bye Baby," became her first Motown hit in 1961. The full-throated approach of that single was quickly toned down in favor of a pop-soul sound. Few other soul singers managed to be as shy and sexy at the same time as Wells (Barbara Lewis is the only other that springs to mind), and the soft-voiced singer found a perfect match with the emerging Motown production team, especially Smokey Robinson. Robinson wrote and produced her biggest Motown hits; "Two Lovers," "You Beat Me to the Punch," and "The One Who Really Loves You" all made the Top Ten in the early '60s, and "My Guy" hit the number one spot in mid-1964, at the very height of Beatlemania.

COVER STOCK STILL SEALED WITH WHAT APPEARS TO BE THE ORIGINAL SHRINK WRAP INTACT. CORNERS WITH SMALL ROUGH SPOTS AND OUTER LAYER LOSSES ON POINT. NOTCH CUT TOP EDGE. A SMALL NICK DENT BOTTOM EDGE.
