From the back cover: Julie is a girl! This fact may be easily learned by a not-too-prolonged study of the cover. She's the girl next door... the one you've danced with... maybe the one you took to the senior prom... the girl you've been in love with, but never met.
In this group of arrangements, Julie invites - Make Love To Me... Russ Garcia and a group of carefully chosen musicians supply the back- ground for the mood. The choice titles include standards which are songs not likely to be passing fads along with new pieces which should supply material for singers yet unborn.

The lights are dim... and by chance, it's the maid's night off. The radio plays softly and out of a fragrant haze of perfume, she whispers... "Make Love To Me." So steady the trembling hand, pour the martinis let your imagination go...
–––
If I Could Be With You, she pleads answer, "You can, you can . . . anywhere.. everywhere..."
On the San Francisco Waterfront she sighs, It's Good to Want You Bad... You cling to her... to the mood, to the magic... don't lose her in the mist...
Casablanca-it's night- and you place your lips on hers... but the night is still young; the streets are winding and narrow, and she warns, Go Slow.
Then Paris-and A Room With a View - she admires the Eiffel Tower, Montmarte, Les Champs Elysees by moonlight... you are lost in enchantment . . .
The pale Manhattan dawn- and you are lost in the tenderness. You hold her close and she senses the Nearness of You.
Tahiti?... Ceylon?... as long as you are Alone Together, the place matters little, the time matters less.
I Wanna Be Loved, she taunts . . . and in wild anticipation you'll follow her . . . to Madrid, to Siam, to the moon!
Now Rome, where the night is cold... and you're glad, for she's there - Snuggled On Your Shoul- der.
Then to be spellbound by the splendor of the Pyramids, the beauty of the Nile . . . and to hear her say, You're My Thrill.
Switzerland at sunset – and she whispers Lover Man and you hold her, oblivious to the call of ... all aboard... all aboard...
I'm yours, Body and Soul, she admits. And you believe, so why travel on...?
The journey's end, and now the joy, as again she whispers... Make Love To Me.
From Billboard - October 28, 1957: Another stunning cover photo of the glamorous Miss London makes this LP a sock display items, while its contents – sweetly sultry, stylized thrusting on listenable standards "You're My Thrill," "Lover Man," etc. are eminently spinable for romantic jock sets. The gal's previous albums have all been solid sellers, and this should be no exception.
