The Mighty Spinners Pick of the Litter album, is the sixth studio album by American R&B group The Spinners, released in August 1975 on the Atlantic Records label. The album was produced by: Thom Bell and recorded at: Joseph Tarsias Sigma Sound Studios in Philadelphia. The Pick of the Litter album is generally considered the last of the quartet of classic Bell-produced studio albums the Spinners released between 1973 and 1975, and to mark the end of the most creative phase of the group’s career – while future releases would have memorable moments, contemporary critical opinion is that none of the group’s later material matches the enduring quality and top-notch consistency of these four albums. The Pick of the Litter album became The Spinners’ highest placing album on the Billboard 200, reaching number eight; however it was the group’s first Atlantic album to miss the top of the R&B albums chart, peaking at number two. The album includes the distinctive Games People Play, written by Bruce Hawes, Joseph B Jefferson and Charles Simmons, one of the group’s signature songs, which became their fifth single to top the R&B chart and a top 5 hit on the Billboard singles chart. The second single, written by the songwriting trio, Love or Leave also made the R&B top 10. Although not credited on the album sleeve, Just as Long as We Have Love includes vocal contributions from the great Dionne Warwick. Side one 1.
