My Dad introduced me to Alma Cogan's music. This is one of her LPs from the early 60s when she was trying to move away from the novelty songs she was not far in the 1950s. Classy stuff. Apple Lossless CD rip.

I have cheated a little as the CD it came from is a (beautifully remastered) compilation on Music for Pleasure of her two Columbia albums. I like to rip a 'twofer', split it into its original LPs and then scrounge the cover art off the internet! Copies of these albums on original vinyl seem to be rarer than rocking-horse doo-doo.
Final track on this album is (I think) the best version of Noel Coward's If Love Were All. Her final, posthumous album has a clutch of incredible Beatles-covers from when the songs were pretty much freshly minted.

Alma Cogan was so talented. I loved her when I was a youngster. She had a tremendous vivacity, a great voice and sang very appealingly.

I think it's still available on CD (as 'With Love in Mind') or they crop up on eBay and Amazon sellers at least. There was an MFP double LP version as well, but to me (nerdy collector) it doesn't have the same romance if it's not on the original label. The original album didn't sell well as EMI didn't know what to do with a serious Alma Cogan perhaps thinking she was encroaching on Shirley Bassey territory, hence I've not been able to find the Columbia LPs.

I love the stories of her famous parties in her London flat with Sammy Davis Jr, Cary Grant and goodness knows who else ...

This brings back memories. Anybody remember Helen Shapiro and Susan Maughan from around the same time?
(Susan Maughan was cute. She's 77 now. Blimey!)
