Ella Fitzgerald / Duke Ellington ‎– Ella & Duke At The Côte D'Azur

I got this double LP for 500 yen (about $US5) ... now there's a 50CD set!

The Strange case of the non-existent Ella Fitgerald record

So what to say about this ...

Ella Fitzgerald sings the Duke Ellington songbook Verve VL-1027 (1961)

  

According to the internet, it doesn't exist ... any ideas? 

One other thing is that the record says it's a promo and has a white Verve label ... I guess I should take a photo of it ...

If anyone has any info, I'd be very happy to receive it ...

Oh, you want to see the back do you? Well, here you go ...

You will tell me won't you?

Keiko Matsuoka - All You Need Is Love (1972)

Or in Japanese 「愛こそすべて～ビートルズをうたう」by 松岡 計井子：

Found at a flea-market a while back. Pretty good Japanese language versions of well known Beatles hits. I'd never heard of Keiko Matsuoka before.

李美子(イ・ミジャ/ Yi Mija) Stereo Hit Songs #1 LMS 120053

Hello hello blog. I return shortly and.

Yesterday while the shopping I find this record. 100 Yen.

The name of singer is 李美子(イ・ミジャ or Mija I )

The label is JIGU Records of Seoul. Catalog number is LMS 120053.

The style sounds like kaiyoukyoku to me.

It is quite nice.

The Three Suns - The Touch

A treat for Three Suns Fans. I bought this 7" record a couple of years ago and listen to it very often. I don't think it has appeared on a Three Suns album. The two tracks are 'The Touch (Le Grisbi)' and 'Theme from "The Proud Ones"'. I'm a big fan of the Three Suns, but I think these tracks are among the moodier tracks they recorded. Please check the comments for further information.

Paul Mark - East to West

Another rekkid from the kind white-haired old man, who last time I saw him, rather amusingly, refused to sell me an Art Blakey 10". How can you not forgive that kind of behaviour? Hope you enjoy this one.

Those Fascinating Bongo Drums - Los Admiradores

I've had these tracks for ages so time for them. There's nothing particularly remarkable about this album except the bongo content is dangerously high. But I do know there's a right time for playing it. It could be cocktail time. Here are the tracks:

01 Tenderly
02 Bidin' my time
03 The breeze and I
04 Greensleeves
05 Now is the hour
06 Between the devil and the deep blue sea
07 Harbor Lights
08 Blue Moon
09 Unchained Melody
10 Don't blame me
11 Londonderry Air
12 The Very thought of you
13 All of me
14 You & the night & the music

A warning to bongo fans. This recording contains 87.8% bongo content. You may want to consult your physician before listening to this recording. Sem Sinatra can accept no responsibility for any convulsive episodes which may result from listening to this bongo madness.
