Wow, this album absolutely knocked my socks off! It was shrink-wrapped, so I kept it and gave it a spin. I'd checked out a few tracks from the CD version on YouTube earlier and wasn't too keen on the first song, so I almost listed it here. But then I caught another track of hers on WRTI and thought 'WHOA'! I ended up listening to the rest on YouTube, opened the LP, and was even more blown away by the sound quality in analog...Great stuff if you're into or looking for more artists like: Dinah, Ella, Billie, Della, Sinatra, Keely Smith and the like.

Wow, this album truly amazed me. It was sealed, so I kept it and gave it a spin. I checked out a few tracks from the CD version on YouTube earlier and wasn't too keen on the first song, so I thought about selling the LP. But then I caught another track on WRTI and was like 'WHOA'! I ended up listening to the rest on YouTube, opened the album, and was even more blown away by the sound quality on vinyl... Great stuff if you're into or looking for artists like: Dinah, Ella, Billie, Della, Sinatra, Keely Smith, etc.
