Was she recorded two inches from the microphone? If so, why? Sound is sometimes blurry and never great. She has such a unique style but it is poorly served by this current album. . If in fact she insisted on being close mic'd then there wasn't much they could do. It she wasn't, then this is a too faithful reproduction. I do not remember the original LPs being this bad. Has my memory failed? Were the engineers at Mercury different than those at EmArcy? Same company so they should have been just as careful. Accompaniments are great, however. These recordings are unique (I thin) because the musical accompaniment is just as important as the vocal lines. Too bad that such a great artist is treated to such poor sound. Is Real Gone Jazz an offshoot of UMG? There is no indication on the box or booklet of any parent company. I have other recordings by this label and they are fairly decent although not great, either. It appears as though they used LPs as the masters for this album instead of the original master tapes. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Ms Helen Merrill *by E***A on Reviewed in the United States on May 26, 2020* I was curious about Ms Merrill because my aunt Ñico's record collection had quite a few excellent recordings that I noticed were on the Mercury label especially with the likes of Dinah Washington and Sarah Vaughan. When the stores were deleting their vinyl collection and selling their record albums at $3 and $4 a pop I spied Helen Merrill's first disc at the now defunct Tower Records on East 4th Street in the East Village and snatched it up. When I played it at home I was surprised at how sweetly understated Ms Merrill's delivery was and how the late, great Clifford Brown seemed to "sing" a duet or clever response to Helen's phrasing. She is in a category of her own and had enough props to be up there with the best of the best and in a private recording of a party held by the equally iconic Leonard Feather Ms Merrill holds her own singing a duet with Billie Holiday ("You Go To My Head") with Mr Feather playing the piano.This is a great collection of a great, highly underrated artist. ### ⭐⭐⭐ Great vocalist but flawed editing and remastering. Excellent price *by L***H on Reviewed in the United States on August 10, 2017* The value for the low price is quite exceptional but the recording quality could be richer. I have heard better remastering on older recordings. I first heard Helen Merrill as a vocalist on some of my other CDs in the real gone series and was mesmerized. These albums highlighting her performances are do not show as much feeling and expression as on some those other recordings that feature her as a backup performer. I particularly did not like the last disc which features an annoying introduction or commentary on each song in expressionless Italian. These spoken words destroy the mood of the songs especially since I enjoy relaxing to jazz vocals and found the frequent voice introductions distracting from the smooth sound of Helen Merrill. The musicians throughout these CDs are quite good and competent. If you can find this disc inexpensively on Amazon or Ebay it is a worthy addition to any jazz collection and a great way to sample this underplayed jazz vocalist. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.pl/products/40913093-7-classic-albums](https://www.desertcart.pl/products/40913093-7-classic-albums) --- *Product available on Desertcart Poland* *Store origin: PL* *Last updated: 2026-04-25*
