Description
Here's a fairly rare record album from THE SPECIALISTS titled TOMORROW'S STANDARDS. Privately released on the Varbee Records label (Butler, Pennsylvania), it is not dated but I believe it is from 1969/1970. The Specialists are KITT SHARON and KENN RUSSELL. It has been inscribed and signed on the front.
Tracks include:
- ELEANOR RIGBY
- MEDITATION
- CHARADE
- SOFTLY, AS I LEAVE YOU
- GROOVIN'
- SUNRISE, SUNSET
- IF YOU'RE GOING TO SAN FRANCISCO
- IF YOU GO AWAY
- MAN AND WOMAN
- THE OTHER MAN'S GRASS IS ALWAYS GREENER
Notes on the back read: "This album represents eighteen months road experience, gathered in twelve states at thirty supper clubs and cocktail lounges.
In a field where new talent sprouts every day, the Specialists bring a new sound; marked by a blending of the old and the new - with the emphasis on new. All the good ideas of the post-sixties sound peek in and out of the selections on this album, all the great innovations of today's sound are prevalent, and the Specialists offer some ideas of their own. Take, for example, Kenn's scat singing in Groovin', blend it with the driving force of San Francisco, override it with the intricate harmony of Eleanor Rigby; and one sees the old, the new, and the original.
The Specialists have been a lot of places - geographically and musically - and are going places. Watch for them."
Cover has lightly bumped corners and very light overall rubbing. Vinyl has some paper scuffs and a few very light scratches. It is in STRONG VERY GOOD PLUS (VG++) CONDITION.
