"Second Anniversary... As a fan of Gladys, for many years, I've never thought to see this release in cd. I have the vinyl album and I'm looking to it now. It brings out, at the back of the cover, words of the president of Buddah Records noticeably proud of having Gladys & The Pips for the second year in his company. Buddah hosted a gala luncheon at "New York's famed '21'Club" to celebrate... "I assured them that they would be totally involved with every creative level of recording, including the selection of material, arrangements and choice of a producer", words of the president. Maybe, because of this, the album got out so very good. This is the album of "Part Time Love" (of David Gates, from Bread), "You and Me Against The World", "Georgia on My Mind, (live)", and, the two that I like most : "At Every End There's A Beginning" and "Where Do I Put His Memory", imppecable performance of Gladys and The Pips for this tune of Jim Weatherly (without doubt, the best composer of all Glady's career!)This is a record for a non-fan of Gladys & The Pips to understand because we are fans!"
