Ground zero for Bette

Reviewed in the United States on October 29, 2015

Verified Purchase

Back in 1973 I purchased this and Bette Midler (on LP) and practically wore them out. Midler's approach to music - especially in song selection - was a turning point in my own musical tastes back then. I was not interested in the direction that rock was taking, and this album in particular had songs that were very familiar to me - especially the girl group songs on this album.

If I had to describe the album in a word it would be 'smorgasbord', but one offering familiar instead of exotic. Back in the day I preferred the aforementioned Bette Midler album, but today this one is still getting a lot of play.

In the absence of sound samples describing the music is difficult. The arrangements on this one are not totally seamless or consistent from one track to the next, and the song sequence makes this seem more like a sampler than a coherent album. I am guessing that since this was Midler's inaugural album the producers were experimenting. That apparently paid off because tracks 1, 6 and 10 made the Top 40 as singles. I especially like her delivery of track 1 (Do You Want to Dance). That arrangement seems to be inspired by the slower tempo, 1966 rendition by the Mamas and Papas, which is a nice contrast to the brighter tempos of the song as performed by Cliff Richards and the Shadows, the Beatles and The Beach Boys.

Most of the 'girl group' songs are fairly close to the originals, but the track that grabbed my attention back in 1973 was Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy. It is close to the Andrews Sisters rendition, but literally exploded with energy when I hear it on this album. Immediately that song went from corny stuff my parents used to listen to, to cool and hip - and it sparked my interest in music from my parents' era.

That I am still listening to this album, albeit not in the original LP format, over forty years later is testimony to its timeless quality.

Amazing - Spectacular Debut

Reviewed in the United States on December 24, 2008

Verified Purchase

Not many albums are perfection but this - Bette Midler's debut is just that. At the time of its release she was performing at a bath house in New York City with Barry Manilow as her producer and arranger/pianist. She was campy, over the time and very brassy. But included in all this was immense talent.

For the first part of her career she was always called THE DIVINE MISS M and this cd reflects what that was in all its glory. Today many cds are made so carefully, every note pitch perfect and carefully arranged. The early Bette Midler was carefree and this cd sounds like she just came into your home and performed some songs for you. Nothing is held back and it is amazing.

There were two big hits here - the sultry DO YOU WANT TO DANCE and BOOGIE WOOGIE BUGLE BOY and they are amazing but interestingly enough they are not the best cuts on this superb set. Eclectic is not a strong enough word to describe what Ms. Midler is capable of. Every song is performed with strong personality - raw, sincere and honest. She takes the songs SUPERSTAR and DELTA DAWN and makes them emotional, heart wrenching songs of deep emotion. She wears her heart on her sleeve. I must admit I do love Karen Carpenter's version of SUPERRSTAR but this version makes it like a totally different song entirely. Other ballads AM I BLUE and HELLO IN THERE are performed with the same intensity.

Then we have the campy, fun Bette on remakes of CHAPEL OF LOVE and LEADER OF THE PACK. She makes these songs come alive. And then there are 2 slightly different versions of her signatiure song FRIENDS. This simple song becomes an anthemic statement of how important it is to have people in your life. It is a snappy, uptempo song and it develops a life of its own. Throughout the songs Bette may break into dialogue and talk/share with the listener. It all works. Bette Midler, here on her debut album gloriously remastered on cd, introduces herself fully and holds nothing back. And she has so much to give. This album is a masterpiece by a legend.

Highly recommended for all Bette Midler fans and all fans of quality music.

SADDEST SONG EVER WRITTEN

Reviewed in the United States on August 16, 2022

Verified Purchase

I started college in 1970, the most incomprehensibly magical year for new artists gaining fame.
Jame Taylor..Elton John..Cat Stevens.. Pointer Sisters..George , Jeff, Simon in Rodney with me) and the Destroyers (in my dorm)..Al Green ..Diana Ross and
The Divine Miss M et al. Just purchased this remastered version of this album to hear the incredible song "Hello In There written by John Prine and matched perfectly with Miss M's vocals to create a masterpiece of the saddest of life endings which has always guided me through life and even now at the age of 70 still does.
Did everything possible not to be that sad couple at the end of their lives.
Thank you John and Bette. Most Love to You Roy

Bette At Her Very Mind-Blowing Best!!!

Reviewed in the United States on March 15, 2022

Verified Purchase

Do not miss this phenomenal classic, highly personal, totally original amazing first album from the Divine Miss M. This is her best album ever! Even Ms. Midler herself was never able to recreate the divinity of the process that resulted in this album. Buy this album. Even if you own a Bette Midler greatest hits album, buy this one. It is constructed as a stunning work of art, from beginning to end. It is meant to be listened to at one time. If you only buy 2 Bette Midler albums in your life, buy this and her 1977 album “Live at Last.” They will give you your life!

Bette's debut gets the Divine treatment

Reviewed in the United States on December 30, 2016

Verified Purchase

I can't tell you how great the sound is on this remastered deluxe edition. And it's so nice to have the unreleased tracks. The glittery cover is just the frosting on top.

My only complaints-- the cardboard sleeve packaging, the absence of any real liner notes or extra pics.

This album is a classic and a must own. It's everything Bette is-- simply Divine.

MoFi the magnificent Miss M

Reviewed in Canada on November 17, 2019

Verified Purchase

This was my first shot at MoFi vinyl and they did not miss. I have three "normal" copies but they pale in comparison to the MoFi pressing. So the myth is not a myth. Too bad they are hard to find and when you find them you need to increase your Visa limit.

Truly divine

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on June 4, 2013

I was introduced to the divine Miss M by the lovely Julian many, many, years ago ... There is no sexier version of 'Do you wanna dance' on the planet (sigh!)

if you find 'elderly' people hard to be around, listen to 'Hello in there' and, as they say in Lancashire, 'think on'.

曲よし、歌手よし

Reviewed in Japan on April 10, 2011

Verified Purchase

久しぶりに聞く。ビーチ・ボーイズで有名な（個人的にはデルシャノンの方が好きですが）「踊ろよベイビー」から、デキシー・カップスの「チャペル・オブ・ラブ」、個人的にはリタ・クーリッジの「スーパー・スター」等々名曲が続きます。さらにシャングリラスがでてくるかと思いきや、なんとアンドリュース・シスターズも出てきます。デルタ・ドーンも出てきます。まあいい曲がどんどん出てきて、普通なら消化不良で歌い手が負けるのですが、ベット・ミドラーは堂々と真っ向勝負で歌いきります。ここがすごい。ジャケットもいいです。歌が上手い歌手を見つけてきて、いい曲を歌わせたら、みんなこんなレコード（ＣＤ）が出来ると思いがちですが、なかなかそういかないのでしょうね。そう単純なものではない。今までたくさん聞いてきましたがこういうのは少ないです。
