Westgrandboulevard beat me to the punch! I'm with you, I love this album too, very much. For one thing, it shows contrary to what had been said for years, the Marvelettes actually ended up on far more of their records that most thought. Another reason this has become a favorite has to do with an article I read years ago about the group. The writer really gave Wanda her props- he wrote that In Full Bloom had a lot of "ornately" orchestrated songs with rather unique lyrical motifs [[I'm paraphrasing) but Wanda could sing anything and make it sound great. I thought that was really cool and it made me look at that album in a new way
