Pressure Cookin', Labelle's only album for RCA, finally makes its worldwide CD debut, some 36 years after its initial release. Way ahead of its time, it set the scene for Labelle's pop breakthrough a few years later with their smash hit Lady Marmalade. Pressure Cookin' features nine compositions, many by group member Nona Hendryx, who has been actively involved with this reissue project, along with producer and Labelle manager Vicki Wickham. Stevie Wonder writes one and coproduces two tracks, identified as 'friend' due to his contractual position at the time.

Labelle is the debut album of American singing trio Labelle, formerly a four-girl group known as Patti LaBelle & The Bluebelles. This was Labelle's first release for Warner Bros. Side A. "Morning Much Better" (Aram Schefrin, Michael Zager) (4:00). You've Got a Friend" (Carole King, Toni Stern) (4:16). Baby's Out of Sight" (Sarah Dash, Armstead Edwards) (2:35). Time & Love" (Laura Nyro) (3:45). Too Many Days" (Nona Hendryx) (2:57).

Pressure Cookin' is the third album by American singing trio Labelle, released in August 1973. This release was their first and only for RCA Records, and was critically raved due to the songs that songwriter and member Nona Hendryx composed. The album is also notable for being the first album released following lead singer Patti LaBelle giving birth to her only child, son Zuri Edwards (she recorded the album while still pregnant with Zuri).
