This track come from the 1963 Columbia LP, "Andre Previn in Hollywood". (This is a monophonic record).

There is a story relating to the cover of this LP................

If you look closely at the first image of the cover you will see some writing in the bottom RH corner.

That was added at my request by the photographer who did the cover shot of the beautiful model.

I bought this LP (imported) in 2000 and was so taken by the young lady on the front that I tracked down and then contacted the photographer, Peter, (whose name appears on the back of the cover), asking if he could autograph it and did he know who the model was.

I heard from him and sent the cover off to the USA to be autographed.

When it was returned he had included a note explaining that the young lady's name was Dagmar, a model with the Eileen Ford agency (New York) in the late 1950's.

He fell in love with her but his infatuation was not pursued, as she was married and she subsequently returned to Germany with her husband.

Some years later she returned to New York after separating from her husband but by that time the photographer was in an established relationship and although they worked together a few times the occasions were strained and uncomfortable.

He would now be 74 years old and Dagmar would be 71 or 72.

And, as Peter said in his note to me in 2000 "I'll bet she's still a knock-out".

For the technically-minded:-

The vinyl was played on a Garrard Zero-100 tangential turntable utilising a Shure M7OBX magnetic cartridge.

The analogue signal was then input via a NAD PP3 USB Preamp to my HP Pavilion laptop running Windows XP.

The sound was recorded as a WAV file using VinylStudio and then converted to an MP3 using GoldWave editing suite.

The final MP4 file was created with VideoPad video editor before uploading to You Tube.

Other music files that I have recorded from various not-often-heard 1960's and 1970's vinyl LP's may be found here by searching for 'hcrun'.

Music such as this can take a terrible day and totally turn it around. Thanks for making it possible.

Thank you! Just like Johnny Green became John Green and Johnny Dankworth also became John. But it's hard to imagine the composer, pianist, conductor, and successor to Arthur Fiedler at the podium as 'Johnny"..!

Yes, the very same. He must've been young enough to be called "Johnny" when this album was produced. :)

"Arranged and conducted by Johnny Williams"...is that the same John Williams who would create the soundtrack for all those Steven Spielberg films?

"Elegant" is still around but, since the advent of the internet, we see less of it. The beauty of the lady on the cover of this album has been captured so well by the photographer. I just melt every time I look at it! :)

Hell, I see the cover shot...and I may have died...what the hell happened to "elegant"? Not gross or porno shots...just plain "just shoot me now" type photography?

Folks, if you notice on the cover of the album, the conducted and arranged by Johnny Williams is the great JOHN WILLIAMS. He went by Johnny back in the day.
