Product Notes

Digitally remastered two CD set containing the two solo albums - plus bonus tracks - recorded by the legendary Gladys Knight in the late '70s. Aside from two obscure '60s singles, Gladys' name had never appeared as a solo performer until 1978. From the early '60s, with family group Gladys Knight & The Pips, she attained international recognition over a period of seventeen years. In 1973, after racking up a third #1 US hit with 'Neither One Of Us (Wants To Be The First To Say Goodbye)' for Motown, Gladys & The Pips joined the roster of Buddah Records scoring several hits in a row (including 'Midnight Train To Georgia').In the midst of legal wrangling with the label in 1976 and 1977, Gladys recorded Miss Gladys Knight for Buddah with producers Gary Klein and the UK's Tony Macaulay. While the now-rare 1978 LP didn't yield any hit singles, it did contain standouts such as the dance floor club play highlight 'It's Better Than A Good Time' and a potent medley of Randy Newman's 'Sail Away' and Allen Toussaint's 'Freedom For The Stallions.' This vocally superb set features both albums in their entirety including tracks issued for the first time on CD; top grade remastering by Nick Robbins and stellar notes by renowned writer Charles Waring with quotes from Gladys.
