LINCOLN MAYORGA / AMANDA McBROOM
"GROWING UP IN HOLLYWOOD TOWN"
SHEFFIELD LAB LABEL , 13
THIS IS THE ORIGINAL 1980 AUDIOPHILE PRESSING , ORIGINAL MASTER, DIRECT TO DISC, LIMITED EDITION
Amanda McBroom has an amazing purity of tone that is simply stunning when heard live, as I had the good fortune to hear her a few years ago, sans amplification, in a small club. It was the type of experience that you simply don't forget. In my opinion, no recording captures that experience better than the classic Sheffield Lab album. It was recorded at the MGM sound stage in Culver City, California, in 1980, with a small orchestra containing instruments usually associated with classical music and jazz.
For audiophiles active in the late 70s and early 80s, the name Sheffield Lab conjures up something special. Doug Sax and Lincoln Mayorga were pioneers of the direct-to-disc LP process, introducing the first modern "D-2-D" LP in 1968. It is true that all discs (e.g., 78s) were recorded direct-to-disc before the late 40s, since there was no tape, but the process was not used in the LP era until Sax and Mayorga made their first experimental recording in 1959 and brought out a commercial product in 1968.
The best cuts on Growing up in Hollywood Town are the three pieces that are both written and performed by Amanda McBroom. "Amanda" is beautiful and haunting, "The Portrait" is evocative and sad, and "The Rose," written for the film of the same name, garnered a Golden Globe Award for McBroom. She also does a great job with "Dusk." The other five cuts are primarily instrumental, and include two pieces penned by Lincoln Mayorga.
