LSP-3862 (mono) 1967
Here's an obscure album that features a rich blend of showtune/lounge/pop vocals built on unique arrangements by Chuck Sagle.
From Billboard - October 7, 1967: Lana Cantrell, RCA Victor singer, returned to the U.S. Wednesday (27) from her native Australia, where she completed engagements at the Chequers in Sydney and the New 20s in Melbourne. On tap for her here is a heavy schedule of night club engagements and TV commitments during the next few months. First of these is a appearance on Ed Sullivan's CBS-TV show Sunday (8), with a second appearance scheduled for Nov. 12.
Upcoming night club engagements include the Cork Club, Houston, Oct. 14-27; the Cocoanut Grove, Los Angles, Nov. 14 - Dec. 2, and New York's Copacabana, Dec. 7 - 20. In addition, negotiations for Miss Cantrell to open at Fairmont Hotel, San Francisco, May 9, 1968, have just been wrapped up.
Miss Cantrell's second Victor album, "Another Shade Of Lana," is being released this month.

Wonderful singing!! I had a number of Lana's LPs, including the first 3. Great vocals and superb arrangements by Chuck Sagle!! What more could one ask for???
ReplyDeleteHey ! RCA Legacy just realeased digitally 5 out of her 6 albums, and I'm amazed by the power and softness of her voice. On her first three albums, I wished they had put less reverb on her vocals. Especially act III, and her first LP is strangely quite badly recorded (if the sound of the master tape hasn't been damaged...but LP rips sound similar in overall quality). Anyway, thanks for sharing music !
