In Full Bloom is the ninth studio album by Motown girl-group the Marvelettes released on the Tamla record label in 1969.[1] It was the last record to feature any Marvelettes besides Wanda Young on the cover or on vinyl. Their next (and final) album The Return of the Marvelettes was initially intended as a solo project for Young; fearing Young didn't have enough name recognition, it was changed to a Marvelettes release.
