In the late 1960s, conventional wisdom in the record industry held that traditional pop singers should turn from the showtunes of the interwar era they had been focusing on since Frank Sinatra's concept albums of the '50s and accommodate the rock revolution to the extent of covering soft rock songs written by the more sophisticated of the contemporary rock & roll songwriters, starting with John Lennon and Paul McCartney of the Beatles, and including such others as Burt Bacharach and Hal David.

Ronnie Aldrich - Webb Country (1977) + The World of Burt Bacharach (1972) 2LP in 1CD, 2008 Music

Posted by Designol at April 24, 2022

This two-fer from Dutton Vocalion features a pair of out of print Ronnie Aldrich LPs: The World of Burt Bacharach and Webb Country, originally issued in 1972 and 1977, respectively. These 21 tracks are dominated by Muzak versions of popular songs of the era written by Bacharach and Hal David and include "(They Long to Be) Close to You," "Raindrops Keep Fallin' on My Head," and "This Guy's in Love with You." The remaining tunes are from the songbook of Jimmy Webb and include "MacArthur Park," "Wichita Lineman," and "Up, Up and Away." This is an enjoyably relaxing reissue from Aldrich's deleted catalog on London Records.

Ultimate Collection Review by Jose F. Promis
Creating a single-disc Ultimate Collection for a superstar like Liza Minnelli is a daunting task because to call any single-disc collection on this artist "ultimate" is misleading at best. There are way too many omissions, and pleasing the die-hard fans of the singer/actress with a single-disc set is close to impossible. That said, this collection will most likely please the casual and the curious. However, the folks at Hip-O succeed in assembling material from different eras and labels associated with Liza's career (and certainly provide informative liner notes), including a youthful and sweet "Try to Remember," which opens the album, and the wonderful 1989 Pet Shop Boys-produced dance hit "Losing My Mind," the album closer. Highlights in between include the rare "Come Saturday Morning" and "Simon," available for the first time on CD. Check out her smoldering versions of "The Look of Love," "MacArthur Park/Didn't We," "Come Rain or Come Shine," and "The Man I Love," the countrified signature hit "Maybe This Time," her electric, sassy rendition of "Love for Sale," and the amazing wallop of "The Singer." But why not a studio or film version of "Cabaret"? And the omissions – "Stepping Out," "A Quiet Thing," "A Matter of Time," nothing from Tropical Nights or Gently – all of this only illustrates that a two-disc set (at least) is needed to accurately represent Liza Minnelli's recording career.

Genre: Instrumental, Rock, Pop / Label: Simply / Union Square Music

Fondé en 1904 sur les cendres du Queen's Hall Orchestra, le London Symphony Orchestra constitue le plus ancien des orchestres symphoniques de la capitale britannique, avec des enregistrements remontant à 1912. Connu pour ses performances radiophoniques et télévisées, l'orchestre se produit outre-Atlantique dès 1912 (esquivant de peu le naufrage du Titanic) et voit défiler les chefs d'orchestre, de Hans Richter à Simon Rattle en passant par André Previn tandis qu'il voit son CV s'allonger au fil des décennies, s'imposant notamment auprès d'un large public à la faveur de ses travaux sous la direction temporaire de John Williams pour la saga Star Wars. Également réputé pour sa versatilité, le London Symphony Orchestra se retrouve par ailleurs sur des enregistrements comme le Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band des Beatles en 1967.
