A reminder of an album that still can be found in the cheapest bins and sold for a buck or two, but as it saw just one release and then in US only it might soon be harder to find and considered more collectible, at least by lovers of femal vocal. Priscilla was the youngest of the "Paris Sisters", a sibling trio that started at very young age first half of the fifties, performing and recording 78:s much like a teen version of Andrew Sisters. In the early sixties they were picked up by Phil Spector, who brought them up to date with contemporary pop and among other things produced their biggest hit - the 1961 million seller "I Love How You Love Me" reaching Billboard #5. The follow-ups didn't do that good and though they continued to perform and record with healthy results, the hype was over. This was the first of three Priscilla solo albums. All tracks are self penned more or less love songs and her vocals personal. I can't help hearing a resemblance to contemporary Marianne Faithful. Difference would be Priscilla's vocals comes out a little more unbridled at parts and some of the arrangements here, albeit in a soft "summer of love" way, may be called psych. Favorite tracks - "He Noticed Me" and "Stone Is Very Very Cold". In my world this is good female vocal, not top five but well worth spinning and collecting for genre gatherers. This US was the only release, also as mono (same number). Never issued like this on CD though the UK 2012 compilation "Love, Priscilla - Her 1960s Solo Recordings" (Ace CDCHD 1343) has all the songs. Premiere US had label as shown here and glossy cover. (FÄV*) (YZÄ*)
