Joanie SommersFor Those Who Think Young (Japanese paper sleeve edition) ... CD
Warner/Muzak (Japan), 1961. New Copy ... $3.99 24.99
Joanie Sommers thinks young here – not in a teen pop sense, but in a style that has plenty of youthful variety in the mix! The album's served up in two different modes – side one is a big band side, with backings from the great Marty Paich – and side two is a live performance, which shows a sweet set of Joanie that's a bit different than her work in the studio! Paich is great on the jazz sides – giving the music a very groovy feel that pushes past the crossover modes of some of Sommers' other records, and which really helps Joanie sound her best. Live tracks also feature a jazz band, but one that's a bit more relaxed – and Sommers' vocals have this quality that's even more personal in the spontaneous setting. Titles include "Round Midnight", "Hey Jealous Lover", "I Feel Pretty", "Why Shouldn't I", "Everything I've Got", "My Ship", and "Out Of This World". CD

Joanie SommersJohnny Get Angry ... CD
Warner (Japan), 1962. Used ... $14.99
Dreamy girl pop from the young Joanie Sommers – a set that's got the lady singing in a style that's a bit more chartbound than some of her later recordings, with lots of cool and groovy backings that give the album a wonderful sense of pep – and a slight undercurrent of sex as well! This balance is perfectly summed up in the title cut – Sommers' excellent hit single "Johnny Get Angry", which is practically the epitome of the girl pop sound of the time – yet better than most other folks could touch. Other titles are all great too – and tunes include "Shake Hands With A Fool", "Mean To Me", "The Piano Boy", "One Boy", "Since Randy Moved Away", and "Seems Like Long Long Ago". CD

Joanie SommersPositively The Most (Japanese paper sleeve edition) ... CD
Warner/Muzak (Japan), 1959. New Copy ... Just Sold Out!
A great little record that's way more jazz than some of Joanie Sommers' other albums – thanks to arrangements from Marty Paich and Tommy Oliver – both of whom help things stay lively, even when sweet – and almost give the album a similar feel to some of the best Bethlehem or Mode label jazz vocal sides of the 50s! Joanie's got none of her pop trappings here – and her vocals are nicely deep and mature – really feeling out the songs with a deeply personal vibe, and way more grown-up than we might have expected. The album's a real standout from Sommers' too-short career – and titles include "What's New", "My Heart Belongs To Daddy", "Something I Dreamed Last Night", "Oh But I Do", "That Old Devil Moon", and "So In Love".

✨✧ Joanie SommersLet's Talk About Love (Japanese paper sleeve edition) ... CD
Warner/Muzak (Japan), 1962. New Copy ... Out Of Stock
A very powerful little session from Joanie Sommers – and like most of her work from the time, one that's done in a great blend of jazz and mainstream pop! Orchestrations are by Tommy Oliver, and there's plenty of dynamic horn passages to keep things interesting – even on the mellower numbers, which are often some of the best in the set – and feature Joanie's sweeter vocals amidst a darker bank of trombones that dip and turn gently. The more upbeat numbers often feature some nice percussion touches to get the groove going – and titles include "Till There Was You", "Make The Man Love You", "Spring Is Here", "Let's Talk About Love", "After The Lights Go Down Low", "Namely You", "Kiss & Run", and "I'll Never Stop Loving You".

✨✧ Joanie Sommers with Shelly Manne & Bobby TroupLook Out It's Joanie Sommers ... CD
Studio West, 1962/1963. Used ... Out Of Stock
Rare jazz work from vocalist Joanie Sommers – a singer who's probably better known for her pop recordings for Warner Brothers in the 60s – but who really sounds great here in a set of recordings done for the Navy Swings radio show! Like others in that series, Joanie's working here in a relaxed, easy-going format – one that's almost as if you were catching her in some intimate LA club at the time, in a style that's free from the constraints of record company politics or hopes of a chart single. The group on most of the set is the Shelly Manne Quintet with Conte Candoli, Richie Kamuca, and Russ Freeman – but the album also features an additional 6 numbers with backing by the Bobby Troup Sextet. Joanie's great throughout – confident, yet easy-going – and titles include "Once", "This Heart Of Mine", "Cherokee", "I Concentrate On You", "You'd Better Go Now", "A Second Chance", "When Sunny Gets Blue", "The Best Is Yet To Come", and "Daddy".

✨✧ Burt Bacharach/Peter MatzOn The Flip Side ... LP
Decca, 1967. Near Mint- ... Temporarily Out Of Stock
An obscure and wonderful chapter in the career of Burt Bacharach – material penned for a 1967 TV musical starring Rick Nelson and Joanie Sommers – all of it perfect 60s Bacharach pop all the way through! The plot of the musical is a bit silly, but the performance isn't – tightly-crafted vocal numbers that often mix Burt's older Brill Building style with a bit more of a Sunshine Pop kind of approach. Although penned by Bacharach, the music is actually conducted by Peter Matz – who does a great job of retaining the maestro's sense of space and timing, but also unlocks some bolder flourishes in the tunes, and manages to get some really amazing vocal performances out of both Sommers and Nelson! There's a sophistication here that goes beyond the roots of both singers – and the record's filld with lesser-known tracks that still sparkle with plenty of Bacharach brilliance – including "It Doesn't Matter Anymore", "They're Gonna Love It", "Juanita's Place Montage", "Try To See It My Way", "They Don't Give Medals", "Fender Mender", and "Juanita's Place".

✨✧ VariousGirls On 45 Vol 2 – A selection Of Girl Groups, Girlie Pop, & Soulful Ladies 1963 to 1967 ... CD
Teensville, Mid 60s. Used ... Out Of Stock
A beautiful batch of prime quality, but quite obscure girl group singles – 45s cut for the majors and larger indies in the mid 60s – but didn't break out in a big way, despite being just as lovely and catchy as the big hits of the day! This is the second volume in what we hope will be a long series, and it's got a few names that'll be recognizable to diggers of rare rock, pop and soul – but the material has for the most part been buried for way too long. Beautiful stuff! It's a packed collection, too. 26 tracks in all: "Usher Boy" by Merry Clayton, "Run Johnny Run" by Ramona King, "Outside City Limits", "He's Hurtin' Me" by Beverly Williams, "Changed Disposition" by The Party Favors, "Big Man" by Barbara Jackson, "After Last Night" by The Rev-Lon, "You're My Baby" by The Carolines, "You're Not The Guy For Me" by Ernestine Anderson, "Don't Say Goodbye" by Jean King, "Don't Pity Me" by Joanie Sommers, CD
