SHIPPING CATEGORY ( 1 ) The CHART with SHIPPING RATES is below in the SHIPPING TERMS. The early eighties proved to be an exploratory period for Donna Lorens music. After her retirement in 1968, she fully devoted herself to being a wife and mother of three children. In 1980, she developed a rapport with pianist John Thomas and legendary guitarist James Burton and produced a plethora of songs over a two year span. Most of the music was recorded at Amigo Studios in Burbank, California. Two of the songs, Wishin and Hopin and Somewhere Down the Road were released by Warner Bros Records in 1982. She performed the latter on the Merv Griffin Show in 1984 and in February, 1985 she performed Hard to Believe in Tokyo at an International Ballroom Dancing event; that video performance is included as a bonus on this CD**. Sedona and Simply Loving You were released in 1982 on Donna's own Royalty Records label. All of the other tracks and the Bonus Video have never before been seen or heard by the public. On Sedona, James Burton, whom Donna worked with since childhood, orchestrated a reunion of his former Elvis Band (TCB Band) to play back-up: Ronnie Tutt on drums, Jerry Scheff on bass, Glen D. Hardin on piano, himself on guitar and special guest Chris Hillman (Flying Burrito Bros) on mandolin. Wishin and Hopin was recorded in Nashville with musicians David Hungate (Toto) on guitar and John Thomas on piano. A host of other musicians organized by either David or John have contributed to this gem. **ENHANCED CD INCLUDES BONUS LIVE PERFORMANCE VIDEO OF Donna Loren performing Hard to Believe at the Imperial Hotel in Tokyo (1985)With absolute regal poise and grace Donna Loren delivers a completely soulful and heart warming musical offering. Having started working those vocal chords at the ripe age of 5, it is no wonder she can powerhouse her way into our hearts with exceptional ease and prowess. Donna Loren has compiled a starlit past with numerous television appearances and movie roles under her belt and has once again entered the music world with a wonderful outing of pop/country meshed with a ton of soul. A truly enjoyable experience from song to song Donna brings all of her passion leaving it all on the table for us to wrap and immerse ourselves in her world of love and hope. Donnas latest album is a mixture of her earlier recordings with her newer efforts and although the flavors of this latest release by Donna Loren are painted with the airs of an earlier era there is enough punch and musical grit here to bring in some of our modern day country/pop music lovers into the fray... herein lies the roots of pop and country music passion. Great production and a flawlessly effortless vocal montage will have music lovers of all genres humming along and appreciating these timeless gems of musical grace. --The Music Biz Buzz with Duss Rodgers, Jan 5, 2010 It has always perplexed me that Donna Loren did not become a star but such is life in the music field. She is best remembered for appearing in four films with Annette Funicello and Frankie Avalon. She sang a song in Beach Blanket Bingo, Bikini Beach, Muscle Beach Party, and Pajama Party but I dont think she ever had a line of dialogue. She would go on to perform on Shindig and appear in such television shows as Dr. Kildare, Batman, and The Monkees but would gradually fade from the public eye. Through the early eighties she was married to the president of Warner Brothers Records. This gave her a lot of free time in their recording studios. She would record every month or so and surrounded herself with such musicians as John Thomas and the legendary James Burton. Several of the tracks were released over the years and others have just sat gathering dust. Just the presence of James Burton should generate interest. He is one of the best guitarists alive and is still remembered for leading bands for Rick Nelson (1958-1967), Elvis Presley (1969-1977), and John Denver (1978-1994). Donna Loren has now gathered these 80s recordings and released them under the title Magic: The 80s Collection. It is a mixed affair of styles mainly do to the intermittent recording schedule. Through it all, however, Donna Loren proves she has a powerful and formidable voice. The albums two best tracks are truly mismatched. Her rendition of the old war horse Wishin and Hopin is a nice slice of early eighties pop. The real gem is her self-penned Sedona. James Burton re-assembled some of his old Elvis band mates for this country tune. Drummer Ronnie Tutt, bassist Jerry Scheff, and piano player Glen D. Hardin back her on this sophisticated song which I believe could still be a hit. While there are a few misses and some eighties excess, several other songs also stand out. Could This Be Magic is catchy but would have been better served to not have so many instruments yet it still contains a superior vocal. Somewhere Down The Road is a good vehicle for her to strut her vocal prowess. Magic: The 80s Collection is a nice look at an under-rated and long lost artist. It was released in 2009 and provided the impetus for her return to the studio to record a new album titled Love It Away. Welcome back Donna Loren! --David Bowling March 3, 20101.

The price of each shipping category for your country you will find below in the shipping rates and also on our web site. ABBREVIATIONS USED IN LISTING HEADINGS: OOP = OUT OF PRINT HTF = HARD TO FIND s/t = SAME TITLE JPN = JAPANESE IMP = IMPORT IMPORT INFORMATION: Any CD that says in the description "import" JAPANESE or otherwise is in ENGLISH as the regular Domestic ones are. The lyrics and artwork are all the same and in english. They are usually more desirable due to the superior mastering on a lot of them. REMASTERED INFORMATION: Any CD that says REMASTERED means that it is the original recordings but they have been REMASTERED. In other words they have usually taken the ORIGINAL LABEL MASTER TAPES and REMASTERED them into the digital format for FAR SUPERIOR SOUND QUALITY. A lot of the older CD's had been rushed released and they used poor quality reference masters. The newer Remasters not only benifit from the original first generation mix-down masters but the newer technology in equipment that is available recently has improved the sound quality dramatically. These are NOT re-recordings. They are the original recordings. H D C D INFORMATION: This is a format in CD mastering that improves on sound quality and adds to the band width available. Any CD that says H D C D plays on any CD player but sounds even better on a player with H D C D compatibility. I do not sell CDR's so anything you are bidding on is a regular retail CD.
