LPCDreissues: Looking forward to the past

The classic brother/sister duo, actors, top session musicians and hitmakers with the oldies radio staple "Deep Purple" (and yes, that record *was* the inspiration for the celebrated rockers' name!) and many more. A vital brick in Phil Spector's infamous Wall Of Sound, Nino and April continued making impressionistic, Spectoresque records well into the 1960's...their switch from Atco to adventurous LA indie label White Whale seemingly freeing up their creativity no end.....utilising Nino's jazz chops and consummate songwriting and April's torchy, intimate vocals, which speak right to the....um...heart of a young man, to best advantage...in their unique counterpoint style...in this (kind of!) missing link between Spectorsound and the emerging psychy softpop....classic stuff.....and a listening treat! This is the first CD collection in Europe and includes their hit singles "All Strung Out" and "I Can't Go On Living" as well as many rarities, some for the first time in stereo! It had been remastered in the usual state of the art Rev-Ola style and also includes detailed liner notes by Steve Stanley. This is a must for fans of the impressionistic sounds of Phil Spector, Jack Nitsche and Scott Walker.....as well as fans of softpop and general 1960's classic pop music!
