Some interesting tracks...a lot of B-sides

Recensito negli Stati Uniti il 25 marzo 2009

Acquisto verificato

Lulu is a tremendous talent, one of the really underrated performers to come out of Great Britain during the 1960's. Her recording of "Oh Me Oh My (I'm A Fool For You)" is one of those perfect recordings--everything about it is inspired. This collection includes an Italian-language version of the song.

She is a great soul singer. The musicianship on display is superb--we hear the Muscle Shoals Rhythm Section, Duane Allman and others.

Some of the songs are less than inspired, though. She deserved better. They sound like B-sides...songs you listen to once or twice and never want to listen to again.

The good stuff--"Oh Me Oh My," "Good Day Sunshine" and "I'm The Other Woman" are worth the price of the recording.

The music that Lulu enjoyed most

Recensito nel Regno Unito il 26 novembre 2009

Lulu has recorded music in a variety of styles, sometimes having to record music that she would have preferred not to. Even then, Lulu always did her best, but following her string of hits produced by Mickie Most, Lulu was determined to do things her way. Seeking to record R+B music, Lulu signed for Atco records, recording two albums, featured together on the first CD here, plus various other tracks that make up the second CD here. While Lulu enjoyed her time at Atco and the music was absolutely brilliant, the music didn't sell, so Lulu departed Atco. Despite its lack of commercial success, the music here is of a high quality and is arguably the best music that Lulu ever recorded.

Lulu's first Atco album was appropriately titled New routes. At the time, Lulu was married to Maurice Gibb of the Bee Gees and the influence shows in the first two tracks (Marley Purt Drive, In the morning), both covers of Bee Gees songs. I haven't heard the original version of Marley Purt Drive (from the Odessa album), but it's a brilliant song with which to open the album. The only A-side single taken from the album was Oh me oh my (later covered by Aretha Franklin), but the most familiar song may be Mr Bojangles, a Jerry Jeff Walker song that has been covered by plenty of other artists including Neil Diamond, but Lulu`s version is as good as any I`ve heard and may well be the best of the lot.

Lulu's second Atco album, Melody fair, takes its title from another obscure Bee Gees song that, like Marley Purt Drive, originally appeared on their Odessa album. The album contains covers of Good day sunshine (Beatles), Vine Street (Randy Newman), Saved (a Leiber and Stoller song first recorded by La Vern Baker) an Sweet memories (a Mickey Newbury song that has been covered by the Everly brothers, Ray Charles, Vikki Carr and Willie Nelson among others). Like the preceding New routes, this album contains plenty of obscure but wonderful songs that clearly suit Lulu.

The second CD contains some tracks released on singles and several unreleased tracks. I'm not clear as to whether the unreleased tracks were left over tracks from the first two albums or were intended for a potential third album that never materialized, but they are also worth hearing. There are more covers of Bee Gees obscurities as well as covers of Love song and Come down in time (both from the Elton John album, |Tumbleweed connection).

It is likely that the public weren't ready for Lulu to record this type of material at the time and that may be why it didn't sell. However, Lulu had a big hit only a year or two later with The man who sold the world, a David Bowie song that if anything was even further removed from her sixties music than the material here. Maybe the public just needed time to adjust. In any event, it's good to see that the quality of Lulu's Atco music is finally, if belatedly, being recognized.

The Atco Sessions, Lulu - A dream recording team make beautiful music together.

It was a dream scenario. Atlantic records, famed throughout the land for nurturing great artists such as Ray Charles and Wilson Pickett signed Lulu, one of THE talents of British pop. Famed for her powerhouse pop tunes, this was a chance for Lulu to have a go at a blues/soul style, for which her voice was well suited, and produced by the acknowledged masters of the form.

Two albums resulted, New Routes and Melody fair. Both a great albums, with material that really suited Lulu and her voice. Uptempo for the amin part, with a deeply soulful feel to it. And great lyrics! I especially love `Dirty Old Man', a great foottapper with a catchy lyric, and `I Don't Care Anymore', a classic song of despair that runs the risk of being just a little too depressing and schmaltzy, but Lulu's thoughtful vocals and the sympathetic production save it and turn into a classic.

The two albums are presented in full on the first disc of this set. The second is crammed with all the other stuff recorded but not released during her tenure at Atlantic. Listening to this you have to wonder why it didn't make it, the recordings are pretty good.

After splitting from Atlantic, Lulu signed for Chelsea, and recorded her biggest hits of the `70s, which can be found here: The Man Who Sold the World

This is a good collection form Rhino/ATCO. Nicely presented in a fold out digipack in a plastic sleeve, there is also a decent booklet with a really good essay about Lulu's time at Atlantic. The tracks have been nicely remastered and sound good. All in all a decent set, well worth getting.

New Routes through Melody Fair

Recensito nel Regno Unito il 3 ottobre 2007

By 1969 Lulu had made a string of R&B records for Decca with varying degrees of success and then spent two frustrating years under the direction of Micki Most recording bubblegum hits like "I'm A Tiger" and "Boom Bang A Bang". Suddenly, post Eurovision and marriage to Maurice Gibb, she grew up. Now under the watchful eye of Mardin, Wexler and Dowd she went to the States to record her two finest albums 1969's "New Routes" and a year later "Melody Fair". These albums are almost always compared unfavourably to "Dusty In Memphis", but wee Marie Lawrie took a harder edged sound to Memphis with her on songs like "Sweep Around Your Own Back Door" "Dirty Old Man" and "Move To My Rhythm". Not that the lady didn't have soul, her readings of the Doris Duke songs "To the Other Woman(I'm The Other Woman) and especially "I Don't Care Anymore" stand proudly along side any of the tracks Dusty had recorded for Atlantic just a short time earlier, and the world weary performances belie her youthfulness. This sublime pairing of the best of session men like Duane Allman and Eddie Hinton (along with the Dixie Flyers, Memphis Horns and the Sweet Inspirations) added to Lulu's distinctive voice was never going to work, not because it was too soon after the pop hits but because it was just too damned good. The public has never gone for this kind of quality, it seems forgotten now that "Dusty In Memphis" provided Ms Springfield with one hit single and then bombed, a few years later Maggie Bell recorded a stunning album with Jerry Wexler that barely troubled the charts in the UK. Cher had also taken the journey South to work with these guys on her "3614 Jackson Highway" album and failed to deliver the sales.
Forget the hits that cheeky little Lulu has had along the way, forget the songs you heard her sing when she was the darling of Saturday night television, forget even the duets and the dance diva, this is Lulu at her absolute best. Along with the two albums and several singles she released with Atco/Atlantic at this time comes seven unreleased tracks including the Bee Gees penned Bury Me Down By The River. Buy It.

That voice shines through

As a singer, Lulu has covered almost every style but, because of her Saturday night entertainment career, she's never really been given the credit she deserves for her vocal abilities. On this collection of recordings she made with in the States with legendary producer Arif Mardin, the soulfulness of her voice really takes centre stage. The songs are more mature and adult than anything Mickie Most had her record in the 60's and although these sessions only resulted in one hit -'Oh Me Oh My I'm A Fool For You Baby' (later covered by Aretha Franklin no less) it does provide a fascinating listen for fans and 'Dusty In Memphis' lovers alike. Indeed, Mardin praises these recordings just as highly as those he made with Ms. Springfield. As with every double CD that combs an entire recording output, some tracks can merge into one another, but just when you think you might lose interest, a gem appears such as 'Where's Eddie?' or her moody take on 'Mr Bojangles'. With support on some of the tracks from members of The Bee Gees and even Led Zeppelin, Lulu's abilities were never in doubt amoungst her peers so its a pity the public have often been the last to get on board. Rocket Records should now release her 1979 'Dont Take Love For Granted' album on CD as it's a late 70's classic.
