Ray Charles

 Crying Time is a studio album by Ray Charles released in February 1966 as the first release on his label Tangerine, which was distributed by ABC Paramount.

There is a range of music on Crying Time – the liner notes are even titled “the Versatile Mr. Ray Charles” – but there is a definite unity of feeling across the twelve songs. Country, blues, and orchestral music – sometimes slow, sometimes speedy; here sparse, there busy – all coexist as supporting players to the album’s main star: the anguish and redemption of Ray Charles.........Thanks for this one Marcos !

Judy Garland.

 On this L/P by Judy we seem to have a mixture of tracks from her "Live Recordings" or maybe from her Television Shows and tracks from her studio L/P's....as usual she does a great job on all the songs....and if you are a Judy Garland Fan you'll love it !!

Unfortunately the live performances don't come over on record as good as the Studio recordings so in my opinion "Capitol " Records falls short of the title "Tribute" !!.....Some of the CD's compilations of the same material that I have heard are far more superior than this L/P so if you do like the content Nip down to the record store and see whats there !!

Vale Of Catmose College Band

When I first saw this L/P I thought that Vale Of Catmose was in the USA till I saw the record was recorded in Kent in England in 1979.....checked on Google and was surprised that the College was only 18 Miles from where I live !!

The Vale of Catmose is an area of relatively low-lying land, much of which is flooded by Rutland Water, in western Rutland, England.

Catmose College is a secondary academy school on Huntsmans Drive in Oakham, Rutland. The catchment area covers the county town of Oakham and surrounding villages, although students are drawn from a wider area through parental choice.

Now here's a thought !.....it says that this was recorded in 1979 so I assume that most of the students that are in the photo on the cover must be around the age of 18 or so.... At this particular moment in time they must be at least 63 or older !!...I wonder if anyone will, perhaps recognise themselves !...If of course they are looking In !!!

The Mike Sammes Singers.

 If you like easy listening and like group singers then this is one for you its a favorite of mine and the cover has not suffered too much so thats ok !!...They were the backing singers to loads of "Pop" records of the 60's & 70's and maybe before...my description of them is a very laid back version of "Ray Conniff Singers".....BUT they have there own style so that's where the comparison ends !....Best track is.. "I'll Know"

Cathy Berberian.

 When I first heard some of the tracks on this L/P I thought it was a joke but after listening to the tracks in detail It's really quite clever...no doubt there will be many of you who decide to download it will think it's rubbish but I like it..maybe it's a case of the more you listen the better it becomes...just keep an open mind about it.....Sooooooooo if you like the Beatles songs ala "Mozart"go for it !!!
