Digitally re-mastered and expanded edition of this 1964 album, the fourth studio album from the Pop vocalist. Produced by Quincy Jones, Girl Talk hinted of an artist moving beyond her teeny-bopper years and eager to expand her musical palette. Album opener ‘Hey Now’ was risky far more feisty and rhythmic than her usual material. ‘Maybe I Know’ and ‘Look of Love,’ proved that teenage pop could be smart and gimmick-free, and established a relationship between Lesley and songwriter Ellie Greenwich, who penned the songs with her husband Jeff Barry. Ellie, along with singers Jean Thomas and Mikie Harris, were integral to the making of the album, providing it’s lush tones and girl group feel. In addition to the 12 titles on the original album, this CD includes 13 hand-picked bonus tracks from the same timeframe, including three recorded in Hollywood with arranger Jack Nietzsche, and four others which first surfaced from the Mercury tape vaults in 1994. The booklet features an essay by noted girl pop authority Sheila Burgel, based on a new interview with Lesley Gore conducted exclusively for this project.
