JULIE LONDON+1954 MILLION SELLERS ON COLIN HOLMES MAGIC OF THE MUSICALS 18TH AUGUST 2014

JULIE LONDON.....EMI RECORDS. Liberty records.
Tracks played....
Cry me a river / Must be catchin' / Broken hearted melody / Our day will come.

Most of Julie London's singles included on this CD plus some choice tracks from LPs
issued in the sixties. 20 tracks in all and a satisfying varied collection. Her voice is
intimate....she must have sung close to the microphone giving a first class sensual
experience  to every listener.Clever girl,clever producer ! ****.

52 ORIGINAL HITS OF 1954.....MEMOIR (2CDS)
Tracks played...
Sway...Dean Martin / This ole house...Rosemary Clooney / I see the moon...The Stargazers
Little things mean a lot...Kitty Kallen / Granada...Frankie Laine / Secret love..Doris Day
Cara Mia...David Whitfield / No one but you....Billy Eckstein.

Another good-value Package of most of 1954's big hits American and British. Recorded
straight from 78rpm records these recordings are the genuine thing although some tracks
lose from this system.For example....Dean Martin's "Sway" sounds a lot better on more recent
albums because they originated from masters at Capitol records, however   it's nice to have
the other tracks otherwise we would not have the opportunity of hearing them at all.

SCOTT WALKER + MILLION SELLING HITS OF 1960 ON COLIN HOLMES EASY LISTENING SHOW.

SCOTT WALKER.   NO REGRETS. THE BEST OF SCOTT WALKER AND THE WALKER
BROTHERS.....UNIVERSAL/ Fontana.
Tracks played.....
Make it easy on yourself / The sun ain't gonna shine anymore / Baby, you don't have to tell me.
Joanna / The lights of Cincinatti.

6 good tracks from Scott Walker and 12 from the Walker Brothers. Good value at over one
hour of music. Scott Walker's voice is a revelation with a depth and vibrancy that brings
exquisite vocal colour to all the recordings on this album. The Walker brothers tracks were
purely commercial heartbreak recordings (not unlike Westlife) with an annoying muffled
sound on some tracks. This,in it's day, made for a new ( Phil Spectorish) sound. The jury
is out on that one. ****.

1960 BRITISH HIT PARADE....ACROBAT MUSIC.
MILLION SELLING 1960 RECORDINGS.
Tracks played....
Let the little girl dance....Billy Bland / I'm sorry...Brenda Lee / Wonderful world...Sam
Cooke / Because they're young...Duane Eddy / Apache...Shadows / The girl of my best

DIONNE WARWICK .....ORIGINAL ALBUM SERIES(5)...RHINO.
Tracks played....
Up Up and away /Any old time of the day / I say a little prayer / The windows
of the world / Reach out for me / Walking backwards down the road.

The early first five albums of Dionne Warwick packaged on 5 cds. Excellent voiced music
from Bacharach &David but not all of the tracks were hits. There are several repeats all over
the albums so, you could say, it was hastily put together. Not to worry. Well recorded and
beautifully sung as well as being good value.****.

Buttons and bows...Dinah Shore / I'm looking over a four leafed clover...Art Mooney.
