Title: A long-lost London classic, now on CD
Product review: I grew up during the 1950s listening to Julie sing the blues on my father's hi-fi, while admiring those album covers. Until the release of this remastered album on CD in 2002, the only copies available were badly scratched albums, if you could find one. Most of her albums were recorded for Liberty, but Capital Jazz acquired the rights and master for this gem. You could say this album is "blues noir". These tracks were recorded between 1956 and 1957. Stereo was not yet prevalent in recording, and sadly this is a mono disc. One can only imagine what it would sound like in digitally remastered Stereo! Nevertheless, this is a must have. The liner notes to the album were written by James Gavin, author of the biography on Chet Baker, and make great reading while you are listening to Julie sing About the Blues.
Would you say this review depicts the product in a flattering or unflattering light?
