A good after-hours, smoky blues and R&B session featuring Ruth Brown in prime form. Nobody, male or female, sang with more spirit, sass, and vigor than Brown during the '50s, and this session reminded those who had forgotten that Brown could also hold her own with sophisticated material as well as sexy stuff.

 (EXCERPT FROM AN ONLINE REVIEW BY RON WYNN, ALL MUSIC GUIDE  /ALLMUSIC.COM/)

What we have here is Ruth Brown’s rare 1958 album, intended to showcase the pure majesty and glory of her voice. Ruth covers 12 standards by Van Heusen, Johnny Burke, Rodgers & Hart, Duke Ellington, Cole Porter, George & Ira Gershwin and Irving Berlin.  This is one date you really don’t want to miss.

All Ruth Brown albums on Atlantic label are exquisitely rare, highly collectable and quite coveted. An absolutely CRITICAL early Atlantic R&B  album!!! Track listing: It could happen to you - Why don't you do right - Bewitched - I'm just a lucky so-and-so - I can dream, can't I - You and the night and the music - You'd be so nice to come home to - We'll be together again - I'm beginning to see the light - I loves you Porgy - No one ever tells you - Let's face the music and dance. Finding a still sealed STEREO copy?!?! Forget it – not even a HOPE!!! This may be the last one you will ever see.

·                               CONDITION:

·                               RECORD

(IMPORTANT NOTE: unless otherwise noted, ALL records are graded visually, and NOT play-graded!; we  grade records under the strong, diffuse room light or discrete sunlight)

(a)          THE ALBUM IS STILL FACTORY SEALED AND IS BELIEVED TO BE PERFECTLY MINT. Please note: sealed items are assumed to be mint and are sold as-is, as we have no way of inspecting them. For our policy on still sealed records ►click here (PLEASE READ BEFORE PLACING A BID).

(b)          The record is believed to come in its original stock inner sleeve.

(c)           Stereo  pressing of this title is much rarer, and by far more preferable to its mono  counterpart. The mix is more graphic, the sound resolution more precise, and the channel separation (which does not exist on mono version) adds a whole new dimension to the music. Also, the stereo mixes are (by definition) somewhat different than on the mono version. We estimate that mono copies of this album outnumber stereo copies  by a ratio of at least 8:1.

(d)          The record is pressed on a beautiful, thick, inflexible vinyl, which was usually used for the first or very early pressings. Usually, the sound on such thick vinyl pressings is full-bodied, vivid, and even dramatic. Do not expect to obtain such a majestic analog sound from a digital recording!

(e)           Of course, this is a full-bodied ANALOG recording, and not an inferior, digital recording!!!
