Eydie Gorme.

Another torn and battered cover but it's what is on the inside that matters...I think that Eydie Gorme along with Keely Smith are two of the most underrated singers we have today...okay I should think that at this point in time 2011 their voices will be past their best...BUT in the 50's 60's &70's boy could they sing...Just listen to the clarity of Eydie's voice on "Tea For Two"....OK song and style are a bit dated but can any female singer of now can be as clear as her...takes all my time to hear the words of some of the songs of today.

 P.S. As you can see the above comments were made by me in 2011 when Eydie was still with us...These are some of the first recordings that she made and although they have released most of them on a CD compilation I believe that this L/P version even though it was recorded about 1958 making it 66 years old to be far more "Real"and clearer than the CD version even taking into consideration the "Snap Crackles & Pops"......Of course that is only MY opinion.....sooooooo the only way to agree or disagree with me is "Download" and have a listen !!!

    Sadly many of the official CD releases of Eydie's albums are rather poorly mastered from old LPs. It's something that's happening more and more often as companies find it cheaper to license the 'rights' to release material and not pay the high price for the digital conversion of the original tapes. Add to this all the stuff that has gone out of copyright. -- I'd rather have my albums. Your LP rips sound better than a lot of things Amazon sells.
