Soundtrack to a 1967 TV special. A program unique for its time as it didn't consist of a stage show before a live studio audience, instead the performances were made during various outdoor situations - like driving, promenading or balloon travelling - solo or with prominent guest stars. Of the twelve cuts eight are sung by her alone, two as duets with Lee Hazlewood and one with Dean Martin. "Younger Than Springtime" performed by dad Frank alone - here credited as "a very close relative". The whole thing produced by Hazlewood and arranged by Billy Strange. She may not have been the greatest American singer back then, but it's very well done throughout and I do like the duets - especially "Things" with Dean Martin - so for me for now still a positive acquaintance. The stereo is wide, clear and perfectly compatible, making me suspect that the monos issued in many countries - e.g. in UK, Canada, South Africa, Downunder and even the US mono promo - were all some kind of folds. Released on vinyl world wide at the time, also reel, 8-track and cassette. Premiere US on Reprise three color (RS 6277). US 1996 CD on Sundazed (SC 6057) came with three bonus tracks. Premiere UK had label as shown here and laminated flip/back cover. (FÄV*) (ZÖNT*)
