This UK vinyl LP was released in 1983 on Spot Records, providing a later-era collection from a group whose influence had been firmly established during the golden age of doo-wop and early R\u0026amp;B.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003eThe Platters occupy a unique place in music history. Formed in Los Angeles in 1952, they became one of the leading vocal groups of the 1950s, helping bridge the gap between traditional vocal-group music, doo-wop, R\u0026amp;B and mainstream pop. Their elegant arrangements and emotionally expressive performances produced enduring classics including “Only You,” “The Great Pretender,” “Smoke Gets In Your Eyes” and “Twilight Time.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe More I See You\u003c\/em\u003e draws on that same sophisticated vocal tradition. The album opens with “The Wonder Of You”, followed by “One In A Million,” “All My Love Belongs To You,” “On The Top Of My Mind” and the title track, “The More I See You.” The latter is a particularly fitting choice for The Platters, with the Mack Gordon and Harry Warren standard receiving the group's characteristically smooth and romantic treatment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003eThe first side closes with “I Can't Get Used To Sharing You,” a soulful composition associated with the group's later repertoire. Side B continues in a similarly romantic vein with “What Name Shall I Give You My Love,” “I Love You Yes I Do” and “Love Letters,” maintaining the elegant vocal-pop atmosphere throughout.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003e“Going Back To Detroit” provides a change of pace before the album returns to its romantic core with “Love Must Go On” and “Wish It Were Me.” The track selection makes this an appealing listen for anyone drawn to classic vocal harmonies, sentimental soul and the sophisticated pop sound associated with The Platters.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003eAlthough released in the 1980s, the album connects directly with The Platters' remarkable earlier legacy. The group had already become one of the defining vocal acts of the rock \u0026amp; roll era, with their records demonstrating how R\u0026amp;B and doo-wop could cross over into the mainstream without losing their emotional character. Their recordings remain influential examples of the classic American vocal-group sound.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003eThis particular 1983 UK Spot Records LP is also notable for its complete twelve-track sequence, including several songs that have appeared across The Platters' later catalogue and compilations. The exact tracklist is documented for the Spot Records SPR 8500 release.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003eFor collectors of The Platters vinyl, doo-wop, vocal soul, classic R\u0026amp;B, romantic pop and vintage vocal-group records, \u003cem\u003eThe More I See You\u003c\/em\u003e offers an enjoyable collection of the group's later-era material.
