Demis Roussos....320 Kbps

Not heard too much of "Demis's work so I reckon that this L/P comes under the "More you hear it the better it becomes" slot !!...The second side is much better than the first side apart from the last track on the first side "On the Greek Side Of My Mind"which is rather way out and "Cool"!!!

Jackie Trent & Tony Hatch

The fantastic voice of Jackie Trent does justice to some of the twenty tracks on this L/P also joined by her then husband Tony Hatch on some of them !!...then to keep it well in the family we have tracks from "The Orchestra" "Sound" & "The Singers & Swingers" of Tony Hatch !!

Tony Hatch & Jackie Trent - The Two Of Us  (1967)

Tony Hatch and Jackie Trent were married at the time of their 1967 album The Two of Us. WhileHatch had released some instrumental easy listening albums under his own name, this was the first time he'd sung anything but background vocals on record. Understandably, however, his singing was somewhat subservient to Trent's, who had already scored hits in the U.K. with Hatch as producer.

Ella Fitzgerald.320 Kbps

 This is one of the best "Live" L/Ps that Ella has done...recorded in 1957 first side was recorded in "Chicago" at "The Opera House"and the second side at "The Shrine Auditorium" in Los Angeles....on the CD release they have issued the "Chicago" tracks in "Stereo" and the whole of the concert tracks in "Los Angeles"in "Mono"so you do have a repeat of the tracks but they are different versions...The CD version is well worth getting you have 18 tracks as oposed to 9 on this version....so have stroll down to the record shop and get it it's worth it !!!

Young At Heart.(Film)..320 Kbps

 This is not from the soundtrack....In the distant 50's I think that they would go into the studio and record the songs...on this L/P there are two tracks that are not in the film and you don't get the title song either...I think it was because Sinatra recorded for "Capitol" records so I suppose it was something to do with "Contractual" things... The two songs that Frank sings are the ones not in the film.."One For The Road" was ok because he had recorded it before he moved to "Capitol"... before he joined the "Capitol" Label he was recorded by "Columbia" which was "Philips" in England...When I was in my teens Doris Day was my favourite singer...

1. Till My Love Comes To Me......Doris Day
2. Ready Willing And Able.....Doris Day
3. Hold Me In Your Arms......Doris Day
4. You Can Take My Word For It Baby.....Frank Sinatra

Mel Torme...320 Kbps

A nice set of songs by "The Velvet Fog"....That I believe is what they used to call Mel Torme...Just checked on "Google" to see if he was still with us and unfortunately he died in 1999.
He had a big hit in England with his version of "Mountain Greenery"...not sure if it was a hit world wide I should imagine that it was....He in my opinion was a Male "Ella"as far as his voice he could "Scat" just like Ella....its a pity they didn't do any recording together !!

Harry Nilsson....320 Kbps

This is a 1968/69 recording of "Harry Nilsson".....I think it was about his 3rd or 4th L/P most of the songs on it are his and it gives a glimpse of was what to come later....A great selection of tracks even the ones that are not written by him are excellent....I assume it is him on the front!!

Barry Manilow

Still keeping in the "Bob" mode we have a slightly different "BM" giving his "Swing" tonsils a good airing !!...seems that he giving his singing voice a few style changes which is great for the listener...you can only listen to a certain amount of "Big Power Ballads"before you put the ear-plugs in !!!...Barry does a great job with these tracks and his voice is spot on !!!

      3. Stardust.

Barry Manilow

From one "Barry Manilow" to another this time he dips into his "Jazzy" side and does a great job and may surprise many people !!....Thanks once again to "Belguim Bob"!!!....No information on the back sleeve about who wrote the songs...They are all original no standards so I assume that "Barry" has written them !!

JOHNNY MATHIS - BEGUIN THE BEGUINE -

The 5th Dimension.320.Kbps

 I bought this L/P for just for one track "One Less Bell To Answer" and also the fact that the cover is painted by one of my favourite artists "Leroy Neiman" persuaded me to buy it.....I never did play it much because I didn't think that the rest of the songs matched the brilliance of "Bell"......Listening to it again after all the years have flown by I don't think that my opinion has changed !!...No doubt there will be people out there who will disagree.........Sooooooooo leave a comment !!!

Leo Sayer....320 Kbps

These compilation L/P's do a great job of putting together most of the hits from a performer...Sometimes they only put a couple of hits together and fill the rest of the L/P with tracks that nobody has heard of....But on this one they deliver ok !!
The first side contains most of "Leo's"well known hit singles....And they are all produced by Once again "Richard Perry".....The second side is mainly tracks from some of his earlier L/P's produced by his manager at that time "Adam Faith"......So I reckon that you get Two "Leo Sayer's" for your listening pleasure!!!
