Album Details

The Great Julie London Seems Destined to Be 're-Discovered' Every Ten Years Or So, First in the 80's with 'Cry Me a River' and Then in the 90's with 'Fly Me to the Moon'- Here's Two New Reissuses of her Great Albums First Time Available on CD.

Customer Reviews:

5 out of 5 stars Quality music from a wonderful singer.......2004-05-09

The albums that make up this twofer are typical of Julie's music of the sixties. Dominated by lush ballads, the tempo occasionally picks up a little, but never to more than mid-tempo. Julie was brilliant at singing intimate ballads and wisely left the up-tempo party music to those with stronger voices.

The first of these two albums (End of the world) is filled mostly with well-known songs. Julie delivers excellent covers of such classics as End of the world, Call me irresponsible, Our day will come, I left my heart in San Francisco, Fly me to the moon, Days of wine and roses, I remember you, My coloring book, Chances are and Desafinado (slightly out of tune).

The songs on the second album (Nice girls don't stay for breakfast) are generally less famous but no less brilliant. Unlike the first album, the songs on this album date mainly from the twenties and thirties. Perhaps the most famous song here is When I grow too old to dream, originally a number one for Glen Gray in 1935. Elsewhere, there are covers of I've got a crush on you (Joe Sullivan, later a hit for Frank Sinatra), Everything I have is yours (Rudy Vallee), You made me love you (Al Jolson), I didn't know what time it was (Benny Goodman), Give a little whistle (Cliff Edwards - from Pinocchio), I surrender dear (Gus Arnheim), You go to my head (Larry Clinton with Bea Wain singing) and There will never be another you (Woody Herman).

This twofer is essential for Julie's fans.

3 out of 5 stars Love Julie London, but she is sabatoged by poor arrangements.......2002-03-22

Julie London was blessed with one of the lushest and most seductive voices I've heard. When everything is on target, her version of a song is tops. On this combination of two albums from the 1960's, Ms. London's singing is as warm and enticing as ever. Unfortunately the person or persons providing the backup arrangements did not serve her very well. Altogether there are 3 or 4 songs where everything really clicks. On the rest the background instrumentals sabatoge the spirit and mood of the song. So far my favorite Julie London CD is "Julie London Sings the Standards."

4 out of 5 stars London's steamiest set sizzles.......2000-11-16

This twofer presents the late Julie London at her breathiest best. Her steamy, smokey-throated takes on an eclectic mix of songs and arrangements is enjoyable listening. London manages to give the Jiminy Cricket ballad from Pinocchio, "Give A Little Whistle," a new meaning, and she stays in the Disney genre with an awkward rendition of the Mickey Mouse March. London is no Mouseketteer, especially when singing the title tune, "Nice Girls Don't Stay For Breakfast." The first album, "The End of the World," finds London accompanied by a pulsating organ and background chorus that gives "Our Day Will Come" a hackneyed interpretation. But the choiciest tunes on this compilation are her jumpy "Fly Me to the Moon," "The Good Life" and "I Wanna Be Around."

5 out of 5 stars The purrfect late night album..........1999-10-01

Lushly arranged standards by the sultry vouced Julie London, both LP's are wonderful, together on one CD, on Nice Girls Don't stay For Breakfast there are some small group jazz sessions that are spectacular, particularly "I Surrender Dear" and "I've Got A Crush On You" show that Miss London was a jazz singer when she wanted to be. Comes highly recommended.
