ELAINE DELMAR — Sneakin' Up on You (1968-2007) RM | FLAC (tracks), lossless

The daughter of late Jamaica-born jazz pianist Leslie "Jiver" Hutchinson, Elaine Delmar is one of England's truly loved entertainers.
Having made her debut as a pianist on BBC radio show The Children's Hour at the age of 13, Hutchinson has gone on to balance a career as a solo performer on England's club circuit and appearances in musical theater productions. She appeared in a 1962 revival of Finian's Rainbow in Liverpool and has appeared in such London productions as No Strings, Cowardly Custard, Bubbling Brown Sugar, and The Wiz. She made her Broadway debut in the 1985 production Goes to Hollywood, featuring music by Jerome Kern. She toured with actor/singer Paul Jones in Let's Do It, celebrating the 100th birthday of Cole Porter, in 1991. Reuniting with Jones two years later, she appeared in a series of concerts, Hooray for Hollywood, that featured songs from Porgy & Bess, Annie Get Your Gun, and Top Hat.
Delmar appeared as a princess in Ken Russell's 1974 biopic Mahler, based on the life of Austrian conductor/composer Gustav Mahler.
A member of her father's band, while still in high school Delmar performed at United States Air Force bases in England throughout the late '50s. She was touring with the group when her father died in a fatal auto accident in 1959. Craig Harris

DINAH SHORE — The Dinah Shore Collection : Columbia and RCA Recordings 1942-1948 (1999) RM | 2CD | FLAC (tracks+.cue), lossless

Vocalion's two-disc The Dinah Shore Collection focuses on the singer's RCA and Columbia period, spanning her most popular years. At first glance, it appears to be an excellent summation, including no less than 50 songs and many great performances. Unfortunately though, the compilers must have assumed that listeners had no need for several of Shore's biggest hits of the era, including "I Walk Alone," "Anniversary Song," and "(I Love You) For Sentimental Reasons." There's also a troubling four-year gap (1942-1946) that coincides with the World War II recording ban. (In fact, except for the first five songs, the entire set consists of recordings from 1946-1948.) The odd part here is that Victor -- a division of RCA, so no trouble for the compilers from a licensing standpoint -- continued to release material during those years. It begs the question: Why did Vocalion skip almost two dozen Hit Parade entries? Regardless of what's missing, there's still a lot of great material here and it's presented in the best sound ever heard for these recordings -- it's just that The Dinah Shore Collection is obviously tailored to collectors and vocal-music obsessives.
