HIFI RECORDS Life Series Stereo 1963
1963's Love For Sale, originally released (with the same catalog number) as I Wish You Love, follows a similar pattern of song selection, though lighter on the exotica vibe and traditional Hawaiian melodies. There are show tunes ("Love," from the mid-40s Zigfield Follies), film tunes ("Love Song From Mutiny on the Bounty (Follow Me)," "Love is a Many Splendored Thing," "Pagan Love Song," "Secret Love"), American pop classics (Les Brown's "Sentimental Journey", and a jaunty take on Cole Porter's "Love For Sale"), international themes ("I Wish You Love"), and the requisite Les Baxter composition ("Love Dance"). Lyman really gives his vibraphone a ride on "Sentimental Journey," which is one of two songs here that are closely associated with Doris Day, the other being "Secret Love." Pianist Allan Soares pulls out all the romantic flourishes he can find on "It's So Right to Love." The album offers two new touches: the accordion heard on "To You My Love," and the panning of the guiro back and forth across the sound stage (ala RCA's Stereo Action, but less frenetic) on "Pagan Love Song."
