LULU/MELODY FAIR SD 33-330 (-70) US


 Follow-up to her "New Routes" album  https://monolover.blogspot.com/2017/12/lulunew-routes-sd-33-310-70-us.html  . Listening back then I didn't think that did her justice. Though backed and handeled by some of the best I thought it came out a bit uneven and she didn't use her voice full out. But then five years or so ago I might still have been too much into her early records to be fair about the new pesona, cause when listening many moons later I liked it a lot better. And with a more open mind I dig this a lot too. Handeled and backed by about the same crew, bringing top audio and arrangements, it is very good listening all through. Already found a couple of favorites. Like the slow "Good Day Sunshine" cover with its very creative bass to perfectly balanced brass and organ, the sentimental "To The Other Woman" and the loaded "Move To My Rhythm" where you do recognize some of the "old" Lulu. Personally I would have preferred more power and up-tempo, yet it's all so well done there's no need to jump tracks. Released on vinyl in Canada, UK, Downunder, Italy and South Africa. Also as US cassette and white label mono promo. To my knowledge never issued like this on CD, but all cuts can be found on the UK 2007 2xCD "The Atco Sessions 1969-72 (Rhino 8122-79948-8). First US had label as shown here in a glossy cover with ATCO ad inner.
