Strangely, this old sounding recorded pleases me more than I could have thought at first listening. The performers are giving something to the songs that lead them out of music and sound fashion. The music is also rather out of time, being somehow simple and gay. A very nice score and very good singer performances makes that I appreciate listening to this recording from time to time. Some songs I appreciate: If You Loved Me Truly, It's Alright With Me, Every Man Is A Stupid Man and I Love Paris (the one I'm listening at while writing this, and that gives me some shivers...). Let's give a special mention to Lilo, who's the soul of this recording.
