DEAN MARTIN/THAT'S AMORE REG 1067 (-67) UK MONO

 Even if this isn't the music I mostly listen to today I must have something with Dean. He was the coolest of crooners, with a smooth emotional baryton that always touched. Listening to this now takes me back to the late fifties and early sixties when I spent hours listening to the valve radio in the living room when my parents were away. The song I remember the most is of course "That's Amore", but the slow sentimental ballads "Under The Bridges Of Paris", "June In January", "When You're Smiling" and "Out In The Cold Again" also takes me back to less complicated times, before climate crises, ruthless capitalism and AI. Some people say we're closer to eachother now with help from different social medias, but I actually think that keeps us further apart. Whatever ideas and knowledge one can exchange through the net it will never be as good as meeting and loving in real life. I'm getting off track here, but these were the thoughts that came to me while writing, so I'm posting it anyway. Having a hard time to place this in time and space. The label and rear sleeve say 1959 while the lower flip has date "6705" and I can't find any corresponding issues from elsewhere, so I guess this was a UK compilation with cuts recorded 1959 and released in May 1967. Also issued in New Zealand (same label and number). UK had label as shown here in a laminated flip/back cover.  (SXS*)
