Album notes
Personnel includes: Linda Ronstadt (vocals); Nelson Riddle (leader); Tommy Tedesco, Dennis Budimir (guitar); Bob Cooper, Plas Johnson (tenor saxophone); Anthony Terran (trumpet); Chancy Welsch (trombone); Don Grolnick (piano); Ray Brown, James Hughart (bass); John Guerin (drums).
Unless you count Ringo Starr's SENTIMENTAL JOURNEY, 1983's WHAT'S NEW, the first of three albums Linda Ronstadt recorded with arranger Nelson Riddle, is perhaps the first major attempt by a bona fide rock artist to come to terms with the Great American Songbook of the Gershwins, Rodgers & Hart, Cole Porter and the other great songwriters who set the musical tone for American life and love before the advent of rock & roll. Possessed of considerable yet unpretentious vocal chops, Ronstadt is a good candidate for this formidable task. She clearly reveres this music and acquits herself winningly by turning in a well-chosen, well-performed set of familiar Sinatra and Billie Holiday-associated songs. Riddle's arrangements lightly support the singer and never upstage her. This late in the game, the master arranger's famous taste is fully in evidence.

ABOUT ME

Like you, I'm a dedicated CD collector and audiophile. Every week, I will be listing dozens of rare and collectable CDs, Gold CDs, Super Audio CDs and other discs of note. Add me to your Favorite Sellers list and check in with me every week to see the latest offerings.

ABOUT THIS CD

Like many early CDs, this one was pressed in Japan for the American market. Back in those days, there weren't yet any CD pressing plants here in the USA, so early CDs were pressed either in Japan or West Germany. In many cases, the CDs I sell will be first editions, or the very first time that title ever appeared on CD. Because so few people had CD players way back when, very few of these early CDs were pressed, making them rare and collectable today. In addition to being coveted by collectors, many audiophiles prefer these early CDs, as they have no over-compression (excessive LOUDNESS) or crazy EQ applied like so many modern versions or so-called "remasters".

Also, the quality of the discs themselves is much higher than modern versions, which you can easily see and feel when you hold one of these great old CDs. They are thicker and more sturdy, and have a mirror finish to them. It is believed that the extra care and quality control used at early CD pressing plants also contributes to the increased sound quality of many of these older CDs. Heck, even the old jewel cases are thicker and heavier!

ABOUT MY GRADING

Because I am also a collector, I grade much more strictly than most ebay sellers. We've all bought "excellent" condition discs that turn out to be scratched beyond recognition. I would not do that to my customers.

MINT: As new.
MINT-: A few light, teeny tiny marks visible at close inspection that prevent disc from being called "MINT".
NM: Near Mint. A few light marks, but still a super disc, very clean and highly collectable.
EXC: Excellent. Some small marks/wear and possibly a *small* and *light* scuff or two. Still very nice, and definitely a collectable quality disc.
VG+. Very Good Plus. A listening copy that plays flawlessly, but has some typical "used CD" marks/wear/scuffs. My "VG+" is far better than most ebay sellers' so-called "excellent".
