Edie Adams ‎– Behind Those Swingin' Doors


Maybe you recognize the name. She was Ernie  Kovacs wife and co-star and on a few tracks of the album "The Ernie Kovacs Album" that has a space age quality with Edie on 2 tracks, singing a weird version of "Indian Love Call" and The Wrong Man".

 Edie is also the hottie who was cooped up with Sid Caesar in "IT'S A MAD MAD MAD MAD WORLD".

This LP was given to me by Vicki, my co-Admin at the Exotica...and other Cool,Unusual Music Facebook group. Wanted to know who was the arranger: Johnny Burke, a good name, good arranger. who helped Perez Prado get established in the US and did the Siamese Cat Song with Peggy Lee.

 Edie is also credited on a few tracks as arranger and adapter. So she's more than a voice. A Julliard graduate who could sing anything, even opera.

Images form Discogs. 

Kept the original rip side 1 and side 2 in the directory. In case that makes it easier to clean up the pops and clicks.

Getting the hang of the USB Turntable. My friend Vicki Kuku a co-admin at the Exotica...and other Cool,Unusual Music Facebook site sent me an Edie Adams LP Decca want to do.

Not removing pops and clicks on Audacity.... maybe should do that.  

Also have a TB coming from a friend. There may be a lot of rips on that to share...
