Title: Liza at her earliest and greatest...
Review: A big fat "HALLELUJAH" to the folks at DRG for releasing all three of Liza's Capitol albums from the 1960s exactly as they were originally packaged, along with the singles.The first two albums paired the amazing Liza with the arranging genius of the brilliant but sorely missed Peter Matz, while the third "There is a Time" (heard by these ears for the first time) featured gorgeous settings by Ray Ellis. Messrs. Matz and Ellis are two of my favorite arrangers for singers, period.A huge bonus was the singles - need I say more?The only low spot for me was NOT including the fabulous double pow-wow concert album with Mama Judy at the London Palladium - that would have made this package really complete. But Miss Liza is the star here - and Capitol knew that at the time of her signing that a future superstar was in the making.
Is the review positive or negative?
