Music Review: TWO RARE MATHIS ALBUMS TO ENJOY
Rating: 5 Stars
It's hard to believe the longevity of the Johnny Mathis recording career which has now spanned fifty-three years with every hope of a new album being released to excite his vast fan-base. However, backtracking to his earlier albums, those with worn out vinyl will welcome the fact Collector's Choice Music has invaded the vaults and selected ten of the best Mathis albums for release on five CD sets with each separate album given its own individual disc - a move that will no doubt suit those who prefer their albums reissued this way.
Following seven successful years with Columbia Records, Johnny moved over to Mercury in 1963 and recorded ten critically acclaimed albums that somehow commercially failed due to poor promotion. Returning to Columbia and owning his Mercury masters enabled Johnny to agree the release of two compilation albums containing some of these undervalued recordings with PEOPLE and THE IMPOSSIBLE DREAM sharing a similar formula of songs, with their titles yielding Broadway hits from FUNNY GIRL and MAN OF LA MANCHA respectively whilst trawling a dazzling ON A CLEAR DAY YOU CAN SEE FOREVER and more upbeat ON A WONDERFUL DAY LIKE TODAY (from THE ROAR OF THE GREASEPAINT - THE SMELL OF THE CROWD).
The silver screen is not forgotten either with a trawl of international box-office winners for I WILL WAIT FOR YOU (from THE UMBRELLAS OF CHERBOURG), SOMEWHERE MY LOVE (Theme from DOCTOR ZHIVAGO), STRANGERS IN THE NIGHT (A MAN COULD GET KILLED), plus MOMENT TO MOMENT, THE SHADOW OF YOUR SMILE (THE SANDPIPER Theme) and MORE (MONDO CANE). Standards include Johnny's superlative and haunting LAURA; heartfelt versions of AUTUMN LEAVES and THE VERY THOUGHT OF YOU whilst the then current pop numbers balance the mixture with a slow ballad version of SUNNY and ELUSIVE BUTTERFLY and GO AWAY LITTLE GIRL following similar tempos to other versions plus Johnny's nod towards Lennon & McCarthy provided by the tale of ELEANOR RIGBY.
Collectors' Choice Music always ensure high standards are reached and the presentation of these albums is matched by excellent liner notes for each album and reproduction of original covers, release dates, catalogue numbers and chart positions. Therefore, the complete series of five CD sets is highly recommended.
