Hi Everybody.....Here's Wishing You All "A Very Merry Xmas Day".....Luigi.....

Dr Hook.320 Kbps

Ok folks this is the last "Upload" before I wish everybody "A Happy Xmas Day"
this group is my Sister Rina's favourite group..and I agree with her...all the songs I believe are written by the group so they are all original songs..no "Covers".....and they are all good ones and easy to remember...that I believe if you can remember the words and tune constitutes a "HIT"!!!!!

1. More Like The Movies
2. A Little Bit More
3. The Radio
4. Up On The Mountain
5. If Not You

1. Jungle To The Zoo

Pia Beck

Last one from "Bob".....and a great one too !!..new to me and getting better every time Bob sends me a download of hers !!...anybody who likes something different will miss out  if they don't have a listen !!.....I Just Love "I Left My Heart In San Fransico" !!...so have a listen to that track here...

Nana Mouskouri

A good cross selection of the work of "Nana" from a Double L/P selection...If you like Nana then this is a good "Ear Shot"of her "Voice" !!!!

 

Jim Reeves

Staying with "Bob" for a couple more !!..

Bing Crosby.

One from across the channel now from "Bob"...there is some info on the back but does not refer to this recording....by the sound of the orchestra and arrangments would have a guess at the late70's early 80's...does anybody know any different ??

Tom Jones.320 Kbps

Its 1966 and Mr Tom Jones have been to America Met "Elvis"done all the Major American TV programs and this is his second L/P....All tracks are original not a hit or a standard in sight !! with the exception of "More" which seems to me out of place !!...Plenty of info on the back cover !!
It shows just how "Tom" earned the Title of the L/P ATOMIC !!!.

1. Dr Love
2. Face Of A Loser
3. It's Been a Long Time Coming
4. Ia a Woman's Eye
5. More

3. True Love Comes Only Once In A Lifetime
4. A Little You
5. You're So Good For Me
6. Where Do You Belong
7. These Things You Don't Forget

Marlene Dietrich..320 Kbps

Re-Post

 

Here's a little gem....you would need new ears if you thought that Marlene was a good singer but it's the "presence" that comes over....some will love it or some will hate it just like "Marmite" !!....It is a live performance and on the back sleeve it mentions a London live appearance in 1954...now whether this is from that who knows...but by the quality of the recordings I think maybe it is made up of several of her live performances !!

 

1. Introduction By Noel Coward

2. The Boys In The Backroom

3. The Laziest Gal in Town

4. Lola

5. I Wish You Love

6. Jonny

Danny Willians..320 Kbps

Re-Post

 It's a pity that "Danny Williams" did not have more success than he did....After his version of "Moon River" which was a hit in England but I think it was overshadowed in the rest of the world by the "Andy Williams" version... then he went on and made this L/P which is a good one and a couple of singles.Maybe it was because he sounded a bit like "Johnny Mathis"...Best Tracks for me is "No Love No Nothing" & "With These Hands"   

1. In Love For The Very First Time

2. Love Is A Many Splendoured Thing   

3. I Can't Give You Anthing But Love

4. With These Hands
