Steve Lawrence & Eydie Gorme | "That Holiday Feeling!" Expanded CD

Real Gone Music have proudly represented Steve Lawrence and Eydie Gorme’s GL label for over a decade. But now, they have announced that they are working with Steve and Eydie’s son David Lawrence and his wife Faye to overhaul their entire catalog of recordings, offering updated annotation and fresh remasterings straight from the original l tapes! And what better album to launch the campaign than the duo’s classic 1964 holiday release…you get 12 holiday favorites including solo Steve (“The Christmas Song,” “Let Me Be the First to Wish You Merry Christmas”), solo Eydie (“White Christmas,” “What Are You Doing New Years Eve”) and the duo’s trademark duet renditions (e.g. “Sleigh Ride”). And this deluxe, expanded edition offers no less than eight bonus tracks (two unreleased, three others new to CD!), including Steve’s own take of “White Christmas” and his renditions of “The First Noel,” “’Twas the Night Before Christmas,” and “Go Tell It on the Mountain,” Eydie’s “It Came Upon a Midnight Clear” and “My Favorite Things,” and Steve and Eydie’s buoyant takes on “Baby, It’s Cold Outside” and “Hurry Home for Christmas.” They'vecluded a personal note from David Lawrence describing his work restoring the original two-track master along with liner notes by Joe Marchese and added photos. Even if you already own this Christmas classic, the sound on this new edition will be a revelation…get that holiday feeling!
