A $5 find in the used bin is a surprise ...the good kind. Chris Connor was an American Jazz singer who recorded three fantastic LPs in 1956 and the 1st one was this issue. She recorded for Atlantic, but this is a UK pressing on the London label. Like most English issues, this is an incredible pressing of a single voice and the best vocal mike available......nothing else...no reverb, compression, or any other contemporary gimmicks. I wish they still recorded singers this way!

Follow Ups:
a couple others by her, but haven't cleaned and played them yet. I hope the voice and the pressings sound the same as her first. I also have the first release of Nina Simone called "Little Girl Blue," and I like it best over her subsequent releases. Another first release I like over subsequent LPs is Jesse Colin Young's "The Soul of a City Boy." Sorry, got off track here, but first releases seem better to me many times.
But also interesting you mentioned "The Soul of a City Boy". I don't believe that was well known, but friends had a copy and I enjoyed it quite a bit.

Great find! I have become a big Connor fan over the last decade or so and have never seen the record before.
Now I am going to have to find a copy and I have a feeling it will cost me.
