Description
A fine clean copy - of this very sought-after so-seldom-seen big production;
"The Next Train Out " is the culmination of years of Valerie working with highly regarded orchestra's and talented Brit producers who knew exactly how to exposure Valerie's booming vocal powers up to its very zenith. After years under Johnny Gregory's Orchestra her controlled muscular voice mushrooms into a tidal wave of beseeching passion, gliding on a groundswell soaring strings and shrill girl group choruses. Proper power from a lady with engrained stage-presence.
"The Next Train Out " written by two very able Americans the famed Bob Russell and Lincoln Mayora of the Mystic Moods Orchestra.
Not for the first time, Brit-girl-vocal guru Chris Parmenter mentor for The Carrolls, Linda Kendrick, Lynn Holland, Faith Brown etc. This time in-house British Polydor producer Chris Permenter teams up with none-other than notable producer Les Reed (Tom Jones - Chills and Fever etc.).
Both men studio men always displaying their overriding penchant for Soulful music.
The duo obviously took notice of the "Brill Building" New York Sound as this session builds slowly to the point of sweeping-you-off-your-feet before the halfway point.
A massively desirable UK collectors want, but frustratingly rare! A cult item, that seldom if ever surfaces for sale.
The other side " It's Up To You " also shimmers with the same "Parmenter" ingredients, but completely pales by comparison to the magnificent "The Next Train Out ".
UK only only - this red and white promo copy, as rare as Unicorn poo...
two bright clean deep red labels, 3 prong centre intact, full gloss near mint minus vinyl, housed in UK Polydor cover. A beauty!
Condition Report
Two clean red and white promo labels, full gloss visually excellent plus vinyl. Playback does pick up a few very soft, dull distant ticks, none of them affecting this thundering production.
