Doris Troy - Another Look [CD]

2024 collection. Rare and unissued material from Mama Soul. Many tracks making their CD debut, plus one previously unissued track. Doris Troy took the music world by storm with her 1963 smash "Just One Look." The Hollies, Anne Murray, and Linda Ronstadt would bring it back to the charts, and countless artists including Bryan Ferry, Count Basie, Klaus Nomi, and Harry Nilsson would later put their spin on it as well. In 1969, The Beatles signed her to their label, Apple Records, and an eponymous, star-studded album appeared later that year. In 1976 & 1977, after albums for the Polydor and People labels, she released two singles on the Midland International label. The first contained the notation "from the forthcoming album Another Look," complete with an assigned catalog number. However, an album never appeared. Near the end of that decade, she collaborated with British Ambassador of Soul David Nathan to record tracks, which finally made their way into the public ear in 2018. Another Look collects these rare and hard to find tracks from the mid to late 70s, and places them together to offer a definitive view of this period of Troy's career. Containing both 7" and 12" versions of the Midland International material (most available again for the first time since their original release), this set collects another track only previously available on a UK compilation plus her material recorded with Nathan - including one previously unissued recording. With packaging containing informative liners from set co-Producer David Nathan, this collection proves just one look at Doris Troy is never enough. It is time for Another Look.
