“Swingin' Dors is wonderful stuff, the sound
of Julie London after six dirty Martinis and a romp behind some heavy
velvet curtains... Bringing clout as well as camp to the party, Dors sounds
sharp, smart and in control at all times.”
The Word
“At the peak of her career, the busomic beauty recorded
Swingin' Dors, an album that had Dors' detractors spilling beverages down
their fronts and eating their collective hats. Re-released as a deluxe
limited edition vinyl LP and a CD digipack, the album's most recent incarnation
is accompanied by a 12-page booklet containing one or two hitherto unseen
photos; reason enough to get it.”
The Crack
“A return to the era of blonde bombshell brilliance. In
truth, the continuing appeal of this well-dressed offering is down to
Angela Morley, who in those days was known as Wally Stott, a British arranger
and big band leader…the material selected for this was nigh faultless
and all the one-time Diana Fluck had to do was phrase beautifully and
swing as if she'd been part of the big band scene all her life. Which
is exactly what she did. Say hello to an underrated classic of its time.”
Mojo
“For those who've never had the pleasure, Swingin' Dors
is just how you'd expect: well played swing, ever so blue, with Dors singing
exactly how you'd expect.”
