An LP with songs from a 1955 movie about the American singer, actress and Ziegfield Follie Ruth Etting (1897-1978), who retired from the stage 1937. Here Doris Day (1922-2019) does covers of hits Etting had in the twenties and thirties mixed with a couple newly written, where of many have remained a prominent part of the American songbook and still today sung and recorded by various artists. "It All Depends On You", "You Made Me Love You", "Mean To Me" and "Love Me Or Leave Me" are songs I remember from my toddler days in front of the valve radio. Not sure from what artists then, but Doris make them sound so good with help from Percy Faith and Orchestra she brings me back in the most caring way. Her voice is dripping with emotion, the orchestra and background quires sweet and embracing and the audio on this soft and caressing allowing me to enjoy a mid-fifties atomsphere over sixty years later. I'm always amazed a piece of plastic can stirr so many feelings, but this does in me and I love it. Usually I have a hard time establishing exact timelines for my US copies, but this is easy. Since first released summer 1955 and it doesn't have the "High Fidelity" box under the "LP" circle on front sleeve that was introduced later that year, it has to be a very early press. 1955 releases also in Canada, Europe and Downunder. UK on Philips (BBL 7047). Japan 1987 CD came with the MGM soundtrack stereo (CBS/Sony 32DP 913). First US had ridged label as shown here, heavy vinyl and laminated cover.
