Product Description

Product Description

Yes THE album which single handed launched the Torch Singer genre...and opened the door for every imperfect but sexy vocalist since!

The most remarkable thing about Julie London is remarkable indeed: that she used her erotic persona not so much to interpret songs as to change the nature of them to become something other than when sung by anyone else. She used her breathy, sexy, sultry voice not to sing a version of a song that could compete with someone else's on a scale of good to better to best, but to change it's meaning!

This, her first album from 1955 set out her stall for all time; soft eroticism and single entendre... with sparse accompaniment for a late night groove that has been hard for generations to resist. With Barney Kessel's muted guitar and Ray Leatherwood's subtle bass the only sound apart from Julie's own bedroom whisper... just try to resist!

One of the most erotic albums of all time - sounding even more breathe in your ear than ever with RevOla!

Wonderfully packaged with pics of the sultry Miss London and full on notes! This is a must and no self-respecting collection should be without it…

5.0 out of 5 stars Wow: 34 Tracks on one CD - perfect soundquality 29 Aug 2009
By Oliver Schmidt
Format:Audio CD
This great CD contains:
"Julie is her name" Album, 1955 - 13 Tracks in Stereo
"Julie is her name Vol 2" Album 1958 12 Tracks in Stereo
Bonus:
5 Tracks from "Lonely Girl" (original mono, 1955)
2 Tracks from "Julie" (Stereo, 1958)
2 Tracks from "Calendar Girl" (original mono, 1956)
Its worth the money: Two albums (complete sessions) and 9 Bonustracks - all in perect soundquality (which is not always the case with non-label CDs) You better spend a bit more than be disappointed by bad quality

5.0 out of 5 stars Sexy music on a stick 28 May 2008
By J. Witsey
Format:Audio CD
Julie London may not be Ella Fitzgerald or Sarah Vaughan but she has a very appealing whispery voice that merges incredibly well with the best jazz guitarist that there is, Barney Kessel, playing simple, uncomplicated dinner jazz backing. This combined with the great track choices adds up to an absolute classic for those romantic moments or simply as dinner party mood music. Oftentimes, great jazz guitarists feel the need to display their virtuoso talent when performing as the leader on an album and in a combo get short solos or are drowned out by the horns and reeds. Here you not only get Julie's sexy delivery but also simpl, uncomlicated strummed chorde that set the hairs on the back of your neck standing on end.

The current era offers nothing like this....the album sounds like all those glamorous US 50's images we get from technicolour movies of that age.

I can't recommend this more highly.

3.0 out of 5 stars Sleeve notes in the wrong order! 27 Aug 2012
By Raving Russell
Format:Audio CD|Amazon Verified Purchase
They start like this: "word. Hamilton refused to make the change and......". Oops! The sleeve notes spoil this release and that's a shame as the transfers are good. The music on the two albums is sensual, laid back and ethereal. Two lovely albums and some bonus tracks thrown in too that don't spoil the affair. Would have got 4 stars if the inlay had been given proper attention.
