More Info:
Digitally remastered and expanded two CD edition. Visions is a great lesson on how to make a veteran act current without losing it's identity. On the group's third Columbia album, Gladys and the Pips worked with Silverspoon Productions, the production company owned by then in-demand R&B producer Leon Sylvers (The Whispers, Shalamar). All of Sylvers' trademarks are here from the snappy basslines to the guitar-bass breakdown and synthesizer washes. Yet Sylvers' sound fit the group like a glove because he makes the technology sound warm and inviting, while the Empress of Soul works her magic on such excellent tunes as "Save the Overtime for Me," "When You're Far Away" (an early Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis composition), and the clever ballad "You're #1 in My Book". The bonus material includes single versions, remixes and previously unreleased mixes.
