Jack Jones

One of Jack Jones best L/P's in my opinion....I wish he had done more tracks on it tho' only 10 tracks total playing time aprox 28 mins seems a bit mean !!! Even Sinatra gave us 15 tracks on both of his "Swingin' " L/P's !!....Best Track is "It Don't Matter To Me"!!

1. Make It With You
2. Baby I'm-a Want you
3. Coming Apart
4. If
5. Daughter

1. Games Of Magic
2. Everything I Own
3. Diary
4. It Don't Matter To me
5. Come Again

4. It Don't Matter To Me.

Jazz In The 20's..VA

Here'a a treat for all the lovers of  the .“Roaring 20s" or "Jazz Age." ...unfortunately I got it without a track list so this could be a pure 1920's experience just listen to the music and hope all your cares will be blown away on the mists of time !!!...no sound bite neither !!...Just 30 mins of nostalgia !!!

Dante & His Orchestra

Don't know what cats ! have to do with this selection of instrumental tunes !!...But it's a great cover !!!....L/P cover designers running out of idea's !...Sooooooo stick SEX on the cover and a near naked lady and maybe we will sell some Records !!....must admit tho' its a good clear recording !!...And whoever wrote the back cover must have been on something !!! GREAT !!!
Thanks "John" for this unusual Gem !!!

 "SEX KITTENS"
... modern myrrh and mischief ...
flat-tummied, twin-turreted gamins ...
moist pouted underlips ... amoral pixies and confused carnivores
stuffed animals, jazz and racing cars ... lazy, lithe
child wastrels ... sic transit GINA and MARILYN
swiftly now, cross over the BRIGETTE.
Lush the sex kittens; lush their serenades ...
zee melodies Americaine burst like grapeseeds
from Paris terraces ... sweeping strings, tres hi fi, society brisk ...
whirring, purring ... gay, cyclical Sartrian
strains ... hers all hers ... her manner,
her madness ... HER MUSIC.

5. My One And Only Love.

Jack Jones.

Another fist class L/P from Mr Jones...recorded 1965-66-67 according to the label on the L/P, so I imagine that might be some singles involved....usually the singer and producer of the L/P choose the songs for it and record then all in one go....or the tracks have been lying around for some time and someone decided to create an L/P

3. As Time Goes By.

The Four Freshmen.

Another great recording of songs by 4 guys who sing and play instruments..trombone and trumpets I believe !!....but not at the same time !!....great track is "Crazy Bones"

  4. I Wanna Go Where You Go.

Petula Clark

This Petula L/P was the only one that she recorded for MGM....obviously in america there is not much information on the back cover I think it was probably 1972 or thereabouts Pets in good voice and the tracks are a mixture pop tunes... and one written by her and one by Tony Hatch & Jackie Trent....The arrangments are by "Don Costa" who has done most of "Eydie Gorme's" L/Ps so they are cool !!...(Now is 1972)....not 2019 !!

6. Baby I'm Yours

Mason Williams.

This is the guy who wrote the hit "Classical Gas"and he does another version of it on this L/P..I have posted another "Mason Williams" L/P earlier and it has been downloaded 97 times so I guess some of you out there have given it a listen !!..This L/P is just as good so PEEPS don't be shy and give it a go....Apart from "Classical Gas"can't say that I have not heard of any other of his tracks that have become Hits.....A fantastic track is "Manha De Carnival" its a "Cool" L/P !!

1. Jose's Place
2. Find A Reason To Believe
3. Saturday Night At The World
4. I've Heard That Tearstained Monologue
5. All The Time

1. Classical Gas
2. The Tomato Vendetta
3. Manha De Carnival
4. Its Over
5. The Exiting Accident

 3. Manha De Carnival.

Barbra Streisand

   Now then !!! I have a bit of an issue with this L/P.....BUT before I go into it I have to tell you that it has my all time favourite "Streisand" track and also my second favourite one on it !!
that is...No 1 all time great track..."The Kind Of Man A Woman Needs" No 2..."He Touched Me"....both of these are "Barbra" at her best !!!!......Now comes the moans....I wish that the producers had toned down the orchestra... on some of the tracks I think that it seems like the vocals and orchestra where trying to outdo one another to see who could be louder !!....It is from a TV special show....maybe it's taken from that but I doubt it...I think that Barbra would have gone into the studio to record the tracks...OR maybe I have a faulty pressing....be interested if any one out there who has the L/P has a pristine one !!...and is different !!


1. He Touched Me
2. The Shadow Of Your Smile

 1. He Touched Me.

Hollywood Gold..VA

I could listen to this L/P all night and have done in the past !...Why oh why didn't the record company continue with a series and followed it up with Volume 2 ect...they certainly have enough songs to do it !!!....All the tracks are taken from the MGM musical films from 1937 onwards and MGM made loads of them....Its a sad fact that most of the singers on this L/P are no longer with us.... BUT its great that we can remember them by Film & Record !!...All the tracks are gems !!

Frank Sinatra.

It seems that the record company decided to do a "Mix" of Sinatra's singles on this L/P or so it seems !! starting with a "Swinger" then a slow "Ballad"all thro' the L/P... all orchestrations by "Nelson Riddle" from the "Capitol" stable !!

1. High Hopes
2. Talk To Me

2. Once In Love With Amy
3. Sleeping Bee
4. On The Street Where You Live
5. Just in Time

1. Hello Young Lovers
2. The Surrey With The Fringe On The Top
3. Old Devil Moon
4. Whatever Lola Wants
5. Too Darn Hot
6. Lonely Town

5. Just In Time.

Nilsson.

I think that this one could be one of Nilsson's non comercial efforts....It certainly has a lot of guest musicians...produced by him and all the tracks are his own work....Got that "West Indies" "Jamaica" feel to....It took me quite a while to work out the Title of the L/P...thought it was French....then one day "Duh"....got it !!!

This has been recorded as Track 1 all the first side...most of the tracks run into one another 
Side 2 is Tracks 2 to 6 ...

5. Home.

Frank Sinatra.

This L/P as you can see from the cover was recorded in London 57 years ago !!..WOW doesn't time fly !!...wish I had a time machine to go back to "Swingin' London" in the 60's..I had a great time there would do it all over again..even the sad times were good !!..anyway enuff of me rattling on and get back to the songs....Sinatra in good voice not a "Swinger" in sight just a nice relaxing set of "Great British Songs"...Must admit tho' hadn't heard of last track !!

5. The Gypsy.

The Walker Brothers.

The Walker Brothers came to life in 1965...3 American guys who were not brothers..."Scott" "John" and "Gary" I think that they had more success in England than the States...This is a Double L/P set that has most of there world wide hits on it....they even had a go at some standard songs and they certainly do a good job with them...namely "Just For a Thrill"
which is a solo by "John" and IMHO is equal to some of the "Jazz" versions by other singers

Side One                                                              Side Three

1. Make It Easy On Yourself                            1. In My Room

Diahann Carroll..320 Kbps

 I don't know much about this singer but she certainly knows how to handle a song....And she does a brilliant job on all the tracks....So if anybody out there is like me and hasn't heard her as a singer then give it a listen I'm sure you won't be disappointed!!
