I've played this one twice and the second time I noticed popping on the 4th band side A and the 2nd band side B. I know the album was unplayed as I cracked the seal on it myself. But it shows that even so called new albums can have faults and this one was clearly a pressing fault. Somebody didn't pull the 'mother' from the press soon enough. But anyway, this LP was one of my Mom's favorites and why we ever got rid of it I'll never know. But fortunately for me, I have a keen ear as well as eye and I happened to see this one on Amazon. I grabbed it fast and it will become a prize piece in my collection. And I WILL learn to live with the factory mishap! But the important thing here is not the overall presentation, but that voice that thrilled millions. There can only be one Kate Smith and she has been captured forever on many a great LP or three. Thanks to the dealer from whom I purchased it. She brought back a ton of memories for me.
Kate Smith, SALUTES COMPOSERS OF THE NOW GENERATION, RCA/Victor LSP 4105. The vinyl Lp dates about March 15, 1969.
First rule of thumb on the late '60s geezer rock albums: ALL "The NOW Sound!" albums are kitsch gold if you like audio pain. In the late '60s, the Beatles and Bob Dylan slaughtered "good music" artists and relegated insincere showman lizards in tuxedos crooning love songs with massed string orchestras sawing away behind them to the junk record bins. The major labels, however, kept hoping that the next hip, with-it, cool, swauve, insincere lizard stealing Sinatra's mannerisms and style was going to be THE NEXT BIG THING to get rid of all those guitar long hair bands doing white versions of Chess Record's blues back catalog, so the labels kept churning out several generations' corrupted Sinatra copies and plastered them anywhere they could in the retail pipeline. Nope.
By '69, New York's idea of cool, million-selling pop had gone the way of the Edsel, though NY tried to make Liza Minnelli a rock star with Clive Davis's Columbia Records' YOU'RE SO VAIN Lp (Liza covers Carly Simon). This album pitted opera pop diva Kate Smith with the most aggressively modern rock 'n roll songs that NY RCA could think of (like "Honey" and "Little Green Apples"), to get the long hair kids back to "good music." Ok, I'm exaggerating; RCA played her last Lp safe with obvious cover tunes for her middle-of-the-road audience, but song choices broad enough to appeal to young people.
RCA put out a 45 single just before this album, about the third week of November, 1968: "Gentle On My Mind"/"The Thank You Song" on RCA/Victor 47-9680. The song had already been a hit up and down the country, easy listening, and soul charts for several acts (Glen Campbell, Patti Page, Aretha Franklin, even Dean Martin did a retread on Reprise), so naturally it was going to be a big hit for Kate Smith. No.
If you like desperately BAD music, out-of-touch song choices by a GREAT diva from the 1930s, pick up this album. It ain't her fault; it's RCA's A&R and accounting wizards'.
