Here's Lena Now!

LP (Item 692105) 20th Century, 1963 — Condition: Very Good
Accompanied by Ray Ellis and orchestra.
(Mono white label promo. Cover has some wear & aging.)

Very Good

  • Vinyl can have some dirt, but nothing major.
  • May not shine under light, but should still be pretty clean, and not too dirty.
  • May have a number of marks (5 to 10 at most), and obvious signs of play, but never a big cluster of them, or any major mark that would be very deep. Most marks should still not click under a fingernail.
  • May not look near perfect, but should play fairly well, with slight surface noise, and the occasional click in part of a song, but never throughout a whole song or more.
  • This is clearly a copy that was played by someone a number of times, but which could also be a good "play copy" for someone new.

Additional Marks & Notes

If something is noteworthy, we try to note it in the comments — especially if it is an oddity that is the only wrong thing about the record. This might include, but isn't limited to, warped records, tracks that skip, cover damage or wear as noted above, or strictly cosmetic flaws.

Lena Horne

Lena Like Latin
CRC, 1961. Very Good+
A set that features lots of great arrangements from Shorty Rogers – upbeat and jazzy, in ways that aren't exactly the Latin modes promised by the title, but still pretty darn great! Rogers his hitting nicely here on all burners – that leaner 60s approach he used in some of his own ... LP, Vinyl record album

Mel Torme

Songs Of New York
Atlantic, Early 60s. Very Good
One of Mel's best non-Bethlehem albums, and a record that's as much a loving tribute to New York as any you'll ever buy! Kind of funny, too, because in Mel's California Suite, there's all this stuff about how lousy New York is – but by the time of this early 60s recording, Mel's clearly ... LP, Vinyl record album

Dinah Washington

Dinah Washington Sings
Mercury/Wing, 1963. Very Good
(Blue label hi-fi stereo pressing with deep groove. Vinyl has a mark that clicks on "Out In The Cold Again". Cover has some wear and aging, yellowed clear tape holding the seams and spine, and is lightly bent at the edges.) LP, Vinyl record album

Nina Simone

At The Village Gate
Colpix, 1961. Very Good
An album recorded relatively early in the career of singer Nina Simone – but a set that already shows the very unique approach that would make her a legend by the time the 60s moved on! Even the very first tune is a stunner – a haunting reworking of the favorite "Just In Time" ... LP, Vinyl record album

Billy Eckstine

Modern Sound Of Mr B
Mercury, 1964. Very Good
Well, we don't know if Mr B could ever be considered "modern", but this is a pretty groovy batch of 60s pop tunes – like "Mister Kicks", "People", "Wanted", "Wives & Lovers", and "A Beautiful Friendship" – all done to ... LP, Vinyl record album
Mobile Fidelity/Rounder, 2006. Near Mint- 2LP Gatefold
(Limited edition #01754. Includes the insert. Cover is lightly bumped at the bottom left corner.) LP, Vinyl record album

Carmen McRae

By Special Request
Decca, 1955. Very Good
A cool session for Decca that has Carmen McRae's vocals flowing out wonderfully amidst some very haunting backings! The sound here is a bit unusual – given that the groups are headed by accordion Mat Mathews and pianist Dick Katz – both of whom have a good ear for unusual phrasing, and ... LP, Vinyl record album

Lucy Reed

Singing Reed
Fantasy, 1957. Very Good
One of the few recordings ever made by this obscure Chicago singer – with a few tracks that feature Bill Evans on piano! Titles include "Out Of This World", "My Time Of Day", "Lazy Afternoon", "It's All Right With Me", and "Because We're Kids" ... LP, Vinyl record album

Dave Lambert/Buddy Stewart

Young At Bop (10 inch LP)
EmArcy, 1954. Very Good
One of the few albums to ever feature the pre-Lambert, Hendricks, & Ross talents of Dave Lambert on vocals – caught here in duets with Buddy Stewart, in a sweet vocalese mode! Backing is by a hip lineup that includes Charlie Ventura on tenor, Red Rodney on trumpet, Tony Aless on piano, ... LP, Vinyl record album

Buddy Miles

Them Changes
Mercury, 1970. Very Good Gatefold
A landmark crossover album – featuring Buddy Miles' mixed Freedom Express group, and a heavy jazz-rock sound that would soon dominate the charts with other groups. Buddy's drums are super-heavy, even if his vocals always get us the wrong way. Includes the original recording of "Them ... LP, Vinyl record album

Joe Cocker

Joe Cocker! (1969)
A&M, 1969. Very Good+
A landmark album from Joe Cocker – and a set that took blue-eyed soul in a whole new direction at the end of the 60s! The album's a surprising stunner all the way through – one that really gets past some of the overdone Cocker cliches that held on a bit too strongly in later years ... LP, Vinyl record album
