Please Mr. Postman is the 1961 debut LP of Motown girl group The Marvelettes. The focal track is groundbreaking number one hit Please Mr. Postman which was also the album's only hit. It notably features a cover version of "I Want a Guy" which had been the debut single for fellow Motown girl group The Supremes that year, while the Supremes' version had been recorded the year before. Omissions for the album feature "Oh I Apologize" produced by Smokey Robinson who would produce much of the group's later material, and "Angel." Both songs were early leads for Wanda Young who would later take Gladys Horton's place the group's main lead singer. The Please Mr. Postman LP mainly recieved negative reviews as it was believed to have been "too rushed" so that the focal track's success could be capitalized. All of the tracks from this album can be found on the Hip-O Select Deluxe Compiliation CD Forever: The Complete Albums.
