- Description: Mary Wells occupies a unique niche in pop music in that she was the first female artist on any of Motown's labels to have a hit record, and she remained as the vanguard in that regard until leaving the tag in 1964, her hits during those years helping to define the Motown sound and style. Starting out as a budding songwriter and singer in Detroit, when she was 17 years old, she approached tag founder Berry Gordy Jr. With a song she had written for Jackie Wilson - hearing her voice, he signed her on the spot. In 1960 he made the R&B Top 10 and pop Top 50 with her first , her own song InchBye Bye BabyInch, and over the next two years had four more hits from her five releases, most notably the R&B No. 1s, which also made the pop Top 10, InchYou Beat Me To The PunchInch and InchTwo LoversInch, both written and produced by Smokey Robinson. This collection comprises the A and B sides of all he singles from these formative years, plus all the tracks from her two albums during this era, InchBye Bye Baby - I Don't Want To Take A ChanceInch and InchThe One Who Really Loves YouInch, not otherwise released as singles.

Recording sessions took place on April to November 1982 at Westlake Recording Studios in Los Angeles with a production budget of $750, 000, assisted by producer Quincy Jones.
