Lorez Alexandria - The Lost Argo Sides, Pt 2



Lorez Alexandria - Sing No Sad Songs For Me - Argo LP 682, Cadet pressing, Baybridge/Teichiku Records (Japan) Reissue, UPS-2219-B, 1983

Lorez Alexandria - Vocals
Music Arranged and Conducted by Riley Hampton

Rest of Players/Orchestra - [Uncredited]

Recorded: 1961? (No date, locations given)

Cover: Don Bronstein
Engineer: Ron Malo
Supervision: Ralph Bass

UPDATE: 22/05/10 - Just uploaded a new pristine stereo rip - Japanese pressings are a beauty!

Another busy week has passed, and it's just about time to chill with the weekend upon us with a new Argo rarity by Lorez Alexandria! Lorez is simply the greatest... This is a more blues/gospel orientated side, but the tracks with just her and the strings/orchestra are quite beautiful and moving as well. Perfect fidelity from a Japan only near mint LP reissue. This side is rather rare and quite obscure, and has never been issued on CD.
