  YOU'RE READY NOW (SMASH S2037)(MAR? 1966)

何といってもCAN'T TAKE MY EYES OFF YOUだろう。世の中にはこの曲のいろいろなバージョンがあり、 時々復活しては小ヒットになったり、CMで使われたりといつまで経っても色あせない名曲である。 しかし、どう考えてもこのオリジナルバージョンに勝るものはない。ヴァリの歌もすばらしいが、 やはりアレンジの秀逸さである。なんてステキな曲なんだろう。

*I MAKE A FOOL OF MYSELF (PHILIPS 40484) (JUL 1967)

  SUNNY　かなりスローテンポなバラード仕立て。こんな感じの曲は、４人よりもVALLI一人で歌った方がよい。それにしても、VALLIの表現力のすばらしさには脱帽。

B MY EYES ADORED YOU
  IN MY EYES
  SWEARIN' TO GOD

ニューヨークで購入の中古ＬＰ、たったの９９セントである。もちろん状態はそれなりに悪いが。 名曲MY EYES ADORED YOUやSWEARIN' TO GODが入っている。 特にSWEARIN' TO GODは、シングルバージョンとは異なり、１０分を超える大作で、ここでしか聞くことができないと思う。 人生観が変わってしまうほどの感動作である。歌はもちろんすばらしいが、演奏だけでも楽しい。 こういう名盤がCD化されることは今後一切ないんだろうか。すばらしい内容なのに。
