Comments

10-songs version released maybe in 1968 (earlier 1965 release is known to have 12 songs)

with original inner sleeve (lyrics printed on it)

Inside The Groove

Lesley Gore's greatest hit tunes.

Personal Impression (and brief notes)

A true fine example of Girl-Pop. A good ensemble (somewhat Motown-ish, isn't it?) is backing up Lesley Gore. All songs included in this album are “Pop”; the “Pop” that should be in the early 1960s. The very famous perfect single tune “It's My Party” became No.1 in the U.S. as it should be... Claus Ogerman (arranger) and Quicy Jones (producer) surely did the good job. Very very listenable. I love it all.

Strictly Personal Rating (to what extent I could enjoy this album)

9 out of 10
