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'.

@meileen1942 That's very kind of you to say so, Eileen (who was, I assume, born in 1942?). I hope that you enjoy some of the other tracks you'll find under 'hcrun'.

There should be more votes for this lovely bit of music. I have major problems finding music I like on regular online places, but your lovely addition is very enjoyable. Thanks for posting it.

@MALP1231 "Irma La Douce" is now here......I must have pre-empted your request! "Two For The Seesaw" will be added too, within the next 24 hours. I hope you enjoy them.

@hcrun...I love "Look Again", from "Irma La Douce", and "A Second Chance", from "Two For The Seesaw". Might you eventually post those? I would love to hear them. I have tried, in vain, to find this LP in C.D. form; however, it still isn't available. "A Second Chance" is not only beautiful...it's technically very hard to sing, because of the unique and difficult chord changes. I love George Chakiris' voice, and his rendition of this song is on youtube. It's lovely.
