5.0 out of 5 stars LINDA SCOTT IS EVERY LITTLE STAR, April 21, 2003

By 

Michael G. Batcho (McAdoo, PA (USA)) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Complete Hits of Linda Scott (Audio CD)

"The Complete Hits Of Linda Scott" is an album of absolute perfection. . . track after track after track! Linda's crystal clear yet powerfully melodic voice presents these songs in a manner that has made them "true classics". If you hear Linda's version, any other singer's version gets compared to hers and probably will not just quite measure-up. Of course her "I've Told Every Little Star" is her theme-song. And she sings a number of songs about "stars". But she has a really unique song about love found and lost called "I Left My Heart In The Balcony" which captures that mood just right.
The artists performance, the musical arrangements, and the recording production of this album is a delight to the ears.
It's a shame that Linda Scott quit recording back in 1968 (she sang background vocal that year on Lou Christy's "I'm Gonna Make You Mine"- a song not on this collection obviously, but it was her last year of recording.) She tends to guard her privacy very carefully these days. . . but still I hope for miracles. . . I hope she records some more. I don't know what a more "mature" Linda Scott's vocal delivery might sound like now, but real talent like hers is always lasting and I believe she probably sings and sounds better than ever. C'mon Ms Linda Scott, give us a little bit of happiness, sing a few more songs to brighten our lives with your "smile". . . a smile that you can hear in your voice when you sing. Thanks Linda for the music you have given us.

5.0 out of 5 stars Simply, The **Ultimate** Linda Scott Collection, October 23, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: The Complete Hits of Linda Scott (Audio CD)

Previously, the only way you could get a Linda Scott compilation was to find an obscure and hard-to-find import (foreign) bootleg CD or LP - usually copied from an LP. Finally, thanks to Eric Records that has changed. Linda was an underated early 60's artist with a naturally powerful and smooth voice that was perfect for singing about teenagers in love.

Eric Records holds the rights to Linda's music and has possession of the original master and session tapes. For that reason we now have the defining collection of Linda Scott. ALL TRACKS ARE TRUE STEREO except for the last track (#22). Several of these songs are in STEREO FOR THE FIRST TIME EVER! This is the first time in decades the original session tapes have been pulled to master a compilation reissue of Linda Scott (if ever).

Thanks to Tom Daly and others for the excellent mastering of this CD. You will find Tom Daly's name of the back of this CD. I've had some brief contact with Tom Daly via an Internet bulletin board and I know how dedicated he is to bringing the best sound quality on anything he works on.

At the time of this review, Amazon did not have a complete track listing, so here it is:

(1) I've Told Ev'ry Little Star (2) Don't Bet Money Honey (3) Starlight, Starbright (4) I Don't' Know Why (5) It's All Because (6) Little Star (7) A Thousand Stars (8) You Are My Lucky Star (9) When You Wish Upon a Star (10) Blue Star (11) Stardust (12) Stars Fell On Alabama (13) Count Every Star (14) Three Guesses (15) Yessiree (16) Town Crier (17) Bermuda (18) Lonely For You (19) Never In A Million Years (20) Christmas Day (21) I Left My Heart In The Balcony (22) Who's Been Sleeping In My Bed?

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Scott, What a Wonderful Find, July 23, 2004

This review is from: The Complete Hits of Linda Scott (Audio CD)

I never heard of Linda Scott until 2001. Her music was a regular feature on an oldies specialty radio show here in Hawaii. I thought it was charming in an innocent "girl group" type of way, but was never hooked enough to it until I won this CD from the same radio station in an on-air contest. I was very impressed with the music on this CD as it sounded like a cross of a gentler Brenda Lee and Lesley Gore combined with a hint of Lennon Sisters thrown in. What most impressed me was the absolutely clean sound reproduction in this release from Eric Records. The 40+ year transfer from tape to CD is just magnificent!

As another reviewer noted, it is too bad that she is not very well known and her music not widely played. I think she can gain some new fans if her music is used someday in a movie or something. I can almost picture using the track "Who's Been Sleeping in My Bed" as an intro to a slasher type of movie.
I am sure it would click with a younger audience after they wonder who recorded this.

Best tracks: "I've Told Every Little Star", "Bermuda", "Never in a Million Year" and the cover of the Elegants' hit "Little Star" which I think is way better than the original.
