Whatcha See Is Whatcha Get

Vinyl LP repressing. One of Stax's biggest sellers in the 1970s, Detroit quintet The Dramatics effectively combined gritty soul belting with a sleek production style. Whatcha See Is Whatcha Get is the 1971 debut from the quintet. The album peaked at #20 on the Billboard 200 and #5 on the Billboard R&B chart. Three singles were released from the album: "Whatcha See Is Whatcha Get", "Get Up and Get Down" and "In the Rain". "Thankful for Your Love" (originally appearing on the album as "Thank You for Your Love") was also issued as a promotional single. "In the Rain" was the most successful single from the album, peaking at #5 on the Billboard Hot 100 in 1972.
