Yuro, Timi
The Amazing Timi Yuro
Rare & Collectible Vinyl Records

Sealed 1964 Deep Groove Mono Original Housed In A Laminated Jacket With Tiny Cut Out Hole. “Once It Became Clear To Timi Yuro That Her Longtime Home, Liberty Records, No Longer Had Any Idea What To Do With Her Extraordinary Gifts, She Jumped Ship, Issuing Her Lone Mercury Album, The Amazing Timi Yuro, In 1964. Produced By Quincy Jones And Arranged By Bobby Scott, The Album Is Lush And Dreamily Romantic, A Collection Of Standards Some Distance Removed From The Lean R&B Of Early Hits Like "Hurt" And "What's A Matter Baby" -- If Anything, The Material Is A Little Too Sophisticated For Its Own Good, As The Emotional Restraint Of The Lyrics Effectively Straitjackets The Stunning Poignancy Of Yuro's Booming Vocals. She Nevertheless Delivers Each Syllable With Absolute Sincerity And Conviction, And Performances Like "I'm Afraid (The Masquerade Is Over)," "If," And The Devastating "Johnny" Rank Among Yuro's Finest.” AMG - Jason Ankeny
