2 CD Deluxe Edition of Gladys Knight And the Pips' 1983 album "Visions" Includes 23 Bonus Tracks of which 13 are Un-Released from the Recording Sessions. Liner Notes by Alex Henderson Re-Mastered from the Original Studio Master Tapes at Battery Studios Visions is the 1983 album by the iconic Gladys Knight And The Pips and released by Columbia Records. The group were quite resilient during their 38-year run and they would bounce back with this major chartbuster. The release of their gold album Visions included the #1 R&B smash “Save The Overtime (For Me).” Visions was by far the most successful of the albums they recorded during their stay at Columbia Records. Certainly, “Save The Overtime (For Me)” had a lot to do with Visions’ success: the infectious funk-dance single enjoyed a great deal of exposure both on the radio and in the dance clubs. The silky ballad “You’re Number One (In My Book),” the funky “When You’re Far Away” and a performance of the ballad “Wind Beneath My Wings,” a.k.a. “Hero,” also contributed to Visions’ success. Originally, Visions was a 10-song vinyl LP, but with this deluxe 30th anniversary edition of Visions, FunkyTownGrooves generously expands the album to a two-CD set. During those 38 years, Gladys Knight & the Pips delighted R&B lovers on numerous occasions—and their Columbia period reached an exciting peak with Visions.
