Unbelievable. Lori Burton possessed one of the most powerful, lush female voices; she was part of a fairly successful writing and production team with a woman named Pam Sawyer; she WAS The Whyte Boots; and apparently there's a MOVIE based on her and Pam (Grace of My Heart--I gotta check this out). And to think I first heard her on an adult DVD, over a silent loop (with "Love Was") and thought, forget the footage, WHO the hell IS this? After a couple years, a friend of mine nonchalantly told me of a compilation that contained the song AND the name of this mystery singer; a search on Amazon by him (my computer died) discovered a WHOLE ALBUM by this voice once described by him (I played the song for all my friends to see if they could identify it or her) as "a cross between Cher and Lulu".

So, what we have here is an album that should please most any fan of '60's girl groups and singers. The production is truly a "wall of sound" deal (hey, Spector wasn't the only one who could do that--check out The Girlfriends' "My One and Only Jimmy Boy"-- or anything on here for that matter). Most of the songs on here are winners, with Love Was, Bye, Bye Charlie, Nightmare, and Only Your Love the definite standouts for me. Not every track hits like these, but the others are growing on me VERY quickly. God, she's so dreamy on the cover, with a voice to match. I'm in love. What a Goddess! And WHAT an ALBUM.

·                               CONDITION:

·                               RECORD

(IMPORTANT NOTE: unless otherwise noted, ALL records are graded visually, and NOT play-graded!; we grade records under the strong, diffuse room light or discrete sunlight)

(a)          WE GRADE THE VINYL AS EXCELLENT. This is one of those albums that are somewhat difficult to grade. It is somewhere between VG++ and NEAR MINT, just a notch below NEAR MINT. A few light abrasions ARE visible, but they are extremely shallow, superficial and only moderately visually distracting (nothing significant).For the most part, the vinyl looks impeccable without any MAJOR visual flaws or imperfections. Much of the original luster is intact, and the vinyl shines and sparkles almost like new.

(b)          The record has a "deep groove" (an indent in the label about 1/2-inch from the edge of the label, which on SOME labels is associated with very early or first pressings).

(c)             The record is pressed on a beautiful, thick, inflexible vinyl, which was usually used for the first or very early pressings. Usually, the sound on such thick vinyl pressings is full-bodied, vivid, and even dramatic. Do not expect to obtain such a majestic analog sound from a digital recording!

(d)          Stereo pressing of this title is much rarer, and by far more preferable to its mono counterpart. The mix is more graphic, the sound resolution more precise, and the channel separation (which does not exist on mono version) adds a whole new dimension to the music. Also, the stereo mixes are (by definition) somewhat different than on the mono version. We estimate that mono copies of this album outnumber stereo copies by a ratio of at least 5:1.

(e)           Of course, this is a full-bodied ANALOG recording, and not an inferior, digital recording!!!

·       COVER

THE COVER IS NICE --- ABOUT VERY GOOD++ (VG++).

The following flaws or imperfections are noted on the cover:

-         Cover has some visible fraying/tattering on the top seam.

-         Cover shows some light yellowing on back side, apparently from aging.

-         Cover has a few wrinkles along the spine
