| Garland, Judy - Lost Tracks 1929-1959
|
(JSP 965 UK-10 175:-)
Here they are: The long lost Decca test recordings!
The first two tracks in this set are two of the three test recordings made by the then 12-year-old Judy Garland for Decca Records on March 29, 1935. Her first time in a recording studio. Luckily, her two solos survive. The third recording of "Moonglow" she made with her sisters (as "The Garland Sisters") has not. The two recordings here, with mom Ethel Gumm on the piano, are the only recordings (excepting the sister's brief appearance in the 1935 short La Fiesta De Santa Barbara) of Judy Garland's raw talent.
The film shorts from 1929/1930 are the earliest recordings of Judy, but those were recorded live on the film set, not in a studio, and they feature a loud 7-year-old Judy who, while obviously photogenic and exhibiting some vocal prowess, had not fully matured as a vocalist. But within a few short years she would, and these Decca tests are the only record of her voice as audiences thrilled to it before her tutelage with Roger Edens at the MGM Studios. These are the real proof that Judy Garland was born with a one-of-a-kind, and rare, natural talent.

| Shore, Dinah - The Nashville Nightingale
|
(JSP 967 UK-11 175:-)
Dinah earned that appellation during her teenage years in Nashville, by which time she was already singing in clubs and on local radio.
This is the warm, welcoming voice that soothed many a soul via the Armed Forces Radio Network!

| Sinatra, Frank - Capitol Singles Collection
|
(Capitol 838089 UK-96 250:-)
As is well known, Sinatra's Capitol years were his finest – a time when he moved past a simple pop singer into a complicated vocalist with a sense of expression so deep that it lent itself perfectly to the emerging form of the long-playing record.
This 4CD compilation features all of Frank Sinatra's singles released under the Capitol label. The set marked some of these singles' first CD release.

| Sinatra, Frank - Columbia Years: V-Discs(
|
(Columbia C2K-66135 US-94 175:-)
This 2-CD set contains recordings from V-Discs that were sent to troops during World War II.
The V-Discs were the only recordings that the musician's union allowed Sinatra to record during the session musicians strike between 1942 and 1944 and he took full advantage, knowing that although the records would not be sold, it would keep him in the public ear, and allow him to perfect his technique.

| Sinatra, Frank - The Capitol Years
|
(Capitol C2-94777 US-90 250:-)
A great batch of wonderful music – a well condensed 3CD box set that features some of Sinatra's best recorded during his Capitol tenure!
As is well known, Sinatra's Capitol years were his finest – a time when he moved past a simple pop singer into a complicated vocalist with a sense of expression so deep that it lent itself perfectly to the emerging form of the long-playing record. Many of the albums this material is drawn from are early "concept" sets by Sinatra, and feature moods and themes that move far beyond simple vocal work – into richly expressive territory that's hardly ever been matched again!

| Vartan, Sylvie - Il ya Deux Fills en Moi
|
(BMG BVCM-37756 Jap-06 200:-)
Although actor/pop singer Sylvie Vartan is Bulgarian, she would eventually receive recognition from the French, usually singing entirely in the language of her adopted homeland. Born August 15, 1944, in Iskretz, Bulgaria, Vartan showed great talent for both acting and singing at an early age, resulting in an appearance in the Bulgarian film Under the Yoke in 1950. Two years later (while only ten years old), Vartan and her family relocated to France. 1961 would prove to be an important year for Vartan's career, as she entered a recording studio for the first time, picked up some TV work, and appeared at the famed Olympia Theater. The early '60s saw the release of a steady stream of singles, EPs, and albums (such as 1962's Sylvie), in addition to further appearances in European movies -- including A Moonlight in Maubeuge and Just for Fun.
