Our Take

Julie London, darling of the vinyl-loving crowd, has finally graced us with a collection of her complete singles from 1955 to 1962. It's as if she's taken a time machine straight from the Golden Age of Hollywood to whisper sweet nothings into our ears.

From the very first track, London's sultry voice seeps through the speakers like a fine wine being poured into a crystal glass. Her renditions of classics such as "Cry Me a River" and "I'm in the Mood for Love" will have you feeling like you're sipping cocktails in a smoky jazz club, even if you're actually just sitting on your sofa in your pyjamas.

Each song is a cinematic experience, with London's voice as the leading lady, captivating and enchanting our senses. The arrangements are lush and dreamy, transporting us to a world where love is eternal and everything is wrapped in a warm, vintage glow.

But don't be fooled by the glossy facade, there's a gritty sincerity in London's delivery that cuts through the sheen. She's not just a pretty face with a silky voice, she's a woman with depth and complexity, navigating the highs and lows of love with grace and resilience.

So grab a glass of bubbly, dim the lights, and let Julie London serenade you with her timeless classics. This compilation is a treasure trove for music lovers and a must-have for anyone looking to add a touch of old Hollywood glamour to their collection. Trust me, you won't regret it.
