Meanwhile, there's still a lot of “letter to the editor” pressure in musical mags which may persuade Columbia to release some of the stored up masters of the old Herman Herd at his finest. About the best album of recent | months is Columbia's “Kiss Me, Kate” with the original Broadway | cast singing the score of Cole Porter's new musical. The album is reviewed in full elsewhere on the page and is now avallable in most Indianapolis stores, RCA: VICTOR-—Latest releases include “A Semorita’s and “Don’t Lie to Me,” Vaughn! Monroe; the -soft-voiced - Page Cavanaugh Trio on “No Moon At Al” and “You Say the Nicest Thing, Baby”; a high-flying, fullblown Jackie Cain bop but still comprehensible vocal on “Lullaby in Rhythm,” and an overbopped “Birdland” with Charlie Ventura’s orchestra; Spike Jones’ “Clink Clink Polka,” and a “MacNamara’'s Band” that shouldn't

He's at his wistful, throbbing - voiced best on “A Dreamer With a Penny” and the wonderful old standard, “It’s Easy to Remember,” on his debut with Columbia. Some more new.
