TERESA BREWER/SHOWCASE APB 1006 (-51) UK

 Always been fascinated by early 10 inch vinyls - those released from 1948 up to the early fifties  https://monolover.blogspot.com/search?q=(NYF%C3%96*) . Not easy to find still playable ones in these parts, but when I do I pick. Not only do they work as kind of time machines, taking me back to when it happened, the audio often also has a very warm glow which hits me way more heartly than most modern recordings. Teresa Brewer (1931-2007) may not be a big name today, but from the late forties way into the sixties she was - reording nearly 600 songs in about every existing genre. Maybe most known for the international million seller "Music! Music! Music!", but she had quite a few songs high on the lists apart from that. From the late sixties she concentrated on jazz and recorded with stars like Duke Ellington, Count Basie and Dizzy Gillespie. She's also done numerous appearances in movies, musicals and on television. This UK vinyl is a compilation of some of her earliest recordings and it certainly delivers. Almost offensively lively, yet with a glow that puts me in a very cozy mood. Exemples below. Cant find any other issues of the particular release elswhere on the net, but it seems  this, on maroon label and gold lettering, came with two different cover designs in UK - like here an imported US one and one made in UK.  (NYFÖ*)  (FÄV*)  (CLÄZ*)
