THE PARIS SISTERS
EVERYTHING UNDER THE SUN
REPRISE RS 6259 (Canadian mono LP)
Aaahhh... nothing like taking a 1960s Reprise LP out of the sleeve and looking at its... huh? Blue and silver label?!?
Oh, that's right--this is the super-scarce CANADIAN issue of this fab-gear late gem of girl group sounds.
This 1967 LP united two survivors of the PHIL SPECTOR "Wall of Sound"--arranger/producer JACK NITZSCHE and the trio of the Paris Sisters, who achieved a Top Ten smash with the haunting "I Love How You Love Me" in 1961.
In the waning days of the girl group sound, The Paris girls and Nitzsche created a dynamite blend of sunshine pop, the sisters' uniquely breathy vocal style, and a more up-to-date "now" selection of tunes and sounds. Several songs were penned by the youngest Paris, Priscilla, and the album also includes gems by Goffin & King, Mann & Weil and Bacharach & David. Great late girl-group genre achievement from all parties concerned--including co-producer JIMMY BOWEN.
Sample this album's goodies with this direct-from-vinyl transfer of the Paris-penned "Too Good To Be True" and judge the strong quality of this vintage vinyl.
Condition:
JACKET: Delicate, sun-kissed colors are mellow and bright. Cutout hole to upper left corner. Staining/discoloration to top edge of sleeve. The stain makes a ring with the usual ringwear pattern from the LP inside. Bottom of sleeve looks much, much better. Spine intact, with all text legible. Ditto for the top seam. Left-handed corners are sharp; right-hand corners stubbed but intact. Both seams intact.
Back panel has stained areas on top upper third. Sticker residue to top right. Lower two-thirds of back panel are clean and sharp. Some light rubwear to bottom. Overall, because of the stained areas, this sleeve is a solid VG+.
VINYL: Very pretty, thick vinyl has only a few stray superficial scuffs and dings. It sounds GREAT, as you can discern from the above sound sample. Blue/silver Canadian steamboat labels are clean and smooth. Good-sounding, clean deep grooves. This disc rates a strong EX.
This is just one of a special collection of the rarest, most desirable PHIL SPECTOR and GIRL GROUP LPs you’ll ever see on eBay—all from the legendary collection of DAVID A. YOUNG! Grab ‘em before they’re gone—you won’t see their likes again!
