Pearl Bailey ORIG OZ LP More songs for adults only EX ’60 Roulette Jazz R&B Original OZ LP released in 1960 on Roulette Records. Cat: RL25101. This album is in MONO.  
Over the next few weeks I will be listing some wonderful Jazz titles from a recently acquired Jazz collection. The original owner passed away back in 1985 and his sister decided to hold onto them for sentimental reasons. She had not touched or played them since then (1985!!). The records are in stunning condition for their age many, apart from a few light age spots on the covers, look like they walked off the shelf yesterday. I hope you enjoy viewing and possibly purchasing these wonderful jazz vinyl artifacts as much as i have in preparing them for sale and listening to them!!

Despite the title, this is just a program of R&B and jazz songs and the sexual content is not above the norm for songs of that ilk. What passed for raunchy in 1958 and the rap music from the close of that millennium may be worlds apart, but it is hard to imagine that this record would have been considered risqué even in the '50s. That aside, there is no faulting Pearl Bailey as a singer of sassy material and this is one catchy, rocking record. It kicks off with the hilarious "Westport," a lyrical capture of the swinging commuter cocktails and swapping scene of that era. Other material is downright classy, such as three Cole Porter tunes. Clean-living types trying to avoid a '50s Rusty Warren type scene have nothing to fear here, as Bailey's fare is for the general toe-tapping audience.

Tracks: Westport/ There’s a little bit of bad in every good little girl/ Confession/ The great indoors/ Singin’ the blues (till my daddy comes home)/ Love for sale/ One man ain’t quite enough/ Aggravatin’ papa/ Nobody’s chasing me/ The duchess threw her crutches away/ The begat/ Show me love.
