This is a very good record....I do not usually like the dulcet tones of the Darin Machine, but prompted by the film which i watched over a year ago, i figured i'd give it a shot when i got it in a load of records that just came in. I'd like to know if anyone else is feeling this LP!!

    I dig both of those LP's but my fave stuff by Darin are some non-LP 45's on Direction.

    Too bad my least favorite actor in the world played him on the big screen.

    I don't own this album, but I once borrowed it from the college radio station I used to deejay at...Darin was a seriously underrated folk-rock performer, and it's too bad his lounge-singer image prevented the hipsters from taking him seriously. Sure, one of his last hit singles was with a Tim Hardin song ("If I Were A Carpenter"), but then again Hardin nearly had a hit with one of DARIN'S songs ("Simple Song Of Freedom"), so it all evened out.

    Does that album have "Baby May?" I have this song on one of his Direction 45's, and this one is really good as well.

    This album here is the Bobby Darin folk-rock album I have:




    Some of you may have seen this LP advertised on old Atlantic innersleeves. It's not good all the way through, but it does hit the mark every now & then.
