Visited a few charity shops today amongst other things i picked up a most bizarre Us Stax lp release

STS-5511 - LENA ZAVARONI - MA! HE'S MAKING EYES AT ME

what the f*ck were they thinking of??

Derek

It was one of Al Bell's attempts at diversification. Some of his plans worked - a Richard Pryor album, the soundtrack to Sweet Sweetback's Baadasssss Song, Wattstax - but some should have never been allowed, like the Lena Zavaroni album. Duck Dunn was quoted as saying "I knew it was all over when they signed Lena Zavaroni".

The album wasn't recorded at Stax though, they just licensed a UK-recorded album for US release.

Sadder than sad i know, but this also came on 45, i know becuase i got some in a job lot i bought out of the local some years back. I thick i paid £30 for three tea chest full off usa 45s, but it wasn't all bad news, as in this lot was 18 copies of Larry Santos and 23 of D.D. Philips and lots of Okeh Demos, when i pulled up the first hand full, i paid the guy and put them in the back of my car fast. Sad Sam.

ANYONE WANT THE 45 FREE TO GOOD HOME & FREE TO A BAD ONE AS WELL, YOU PAY P&P SAM

As others have said Stax's last pitch attempt to diversify.

Lena incidently died anorexic and in poverty in a flat about 3 miles from where I live iN Cheshunt.

Seems she had a pretty tragic life after her child star status which is sad .
