Editorial Reviews

To those who adore the subtle, remarkable, and distinctive voice of Mary Wells, the fragments of a live performance presented here as a "Greatest Hits" package are too little -- yet valuable because of Wells' professionalism and power. It wouldn't have been that difficult to turn these truncated tapes into something extra special; "My Guy," the chestnut, isn't even a complete version and is in desperate need of a video dance mix to make it acceptable. There are only six tracks from Wells, and the producers, Kim Lyon and Gary Peet, should have gone the extra mile and added some audio from the superb and unexplored pre- and post-Motown catalog that this artist generated before her untimely passing. Quantum Leap's Lyon and Peet really need to start paying attention to the collectors' market out there and putting some care and concern into these packages. Liner notes, dates, times, and performers playing with the star attractions are all mandatory. There are under 19 minutes of Mary Wells here, rounded out by material attributed to the Contours and the Crystals recorded live at the Rock 'n Roll Palace in Orlando, FL -- a not very exciting 12 or so extra minutes tacked onto this package. ~ Joe Viglione
