a fascinating recording.......2003-10-06

Irving Berlin's CALL ME MADAM appeared on Broadway in 1950. His previous musical, 1949's MISS LIBERTY, was an unqualified flop. MISS LIBERTY was his follow-up to 1947's mega hit ANNIE GET YOUR GUN, starring Ethel Merman.

Ethel Merman headlined his original cast of CALL ME MADAM, a bouncy musical which told the story of ebullient Sally Adams, who is dispatched as ambassador to the fictional European province of Lichtenburg. The supporting cast included Paul Lukas, Russell Nype (GOLDILOCKS), and Galina Talva as Princess Maria.

Due to a contractual snafu however, there are two very different recordings of CALL ME MADAM. Ethel Merman was under contract to the Decca label (which had recorded her ANNIE GET YOUR GUN cast album), but the recording of MADAM was to be produced by cast album heavyweight RCA Victor. Decca wouldn't release Merman from her contract, as it was planning it's own CALL ME MADAM release.

Popular vocalist Dinah Shore stepped in and played Sally Adams on the RCA Victor album of CALL ME MADAM, which featured the entire original cast. Decca released a "studio cast" album of MADAM headed by Ethel Merman, aided and abetted by popular crooner Dick Haymes (STATE FAIR) and a backup chorus. Of these two albums, the Dinah Shore version is the more delightful. She wisely doesn't try to emulate Miss Merman but sails through the songs in her own charming style. Russell Nype and Galina Talva are wonderfully-winning in their performances and Paul Lukas is superb.

I strongly suggest that you also purchase the Ethel Merman recording as well as the 1995 Encores! cast starring Tyne Daly. CALL ME MADAM is one of the most delightful of classic Broadway musicals.

A crucial oddity.......2001-02-22

I'm not sure whether it's stranger that this album has languished in the vaults for so long or that it was recorded in the first place. But we should be grateful that it's here, as it's an important recording, a fun score, and a fascinating piece of theatre recording history.

Dinah Shore is by no means an ideal substitute for Ethel Merman (who was under contract to Decca Records and not permitted to appear on the official cast album), make no mistake. But Merman made her own album with her own takes on the big songs, so it's perhaps a good thing that RCA went for a dramatically different take here. Shore sings very attractively here -- she's not a tough broad, but a sweet charmer, but the album still works. The show was, of course, a big hit that had plenty of strengths even though it might be too dated to rework today.

The Merman album was already released on CD once, and will be issued again within the year, but this is still worthwhile for Shore's performance, for the niceties of the show like the other original players, orchestrations and songs that Merman didn't preserve, and for a lengthy appendix of Shore's versions of classic Irving Berlin songs.

No one will ever claim that Call Me Madam changed their life. Shows didn't used to need to elicit that reaction to be considered successful.

Not essential but useful.......2001-02-03

RCA Victor had backed the 1950 musical CALL ME MADAM hoping to get the cast album rights. The star, however, was Ethel Merman and she was under exclusive contract to Decca who planned their own MADAM album. Decca launched the first attack by releasing a 10" Lp with Merman, Dick Haymes and the Gordon Jenkens orchestra and Chorus called "Songs from CALL ME MADAM." RCA responded by recording the full original cast album but signing Dinah Shore to sing the role of Sally Adams. They also re-orchestrated many of the songs and, in a curious move, had Paul Lukas record narration linking the songs. Strangely, they semed to had given up on this approach mid-way as the narration disappears after the first side of the record. Decca's response was to withdraw their 10" Lp and reissue the album on 12" with 5 additional songs (dropping an orchstral medley by the Jenkins orchestra) and placing them in show sequence. Although RCA's album has a more theatrical feel to it, Decca had Merman and therefore created the better selling album. RCA's disc was deleted rather quickly, although briefly reissued in 1977 and now (finally) available on CD... except this isn't an RCA release (!!!!) Is this even released with RCA's permission? I highly doubt it since RCA eventually plans to reissue the remaininder of their show catalogue on CD. Decca's album was reissued on Cd but that disc is now out-of-print. IF you can get both albums and do some creative programming you can combine trcaks and create your own composite original cast album.

The worst CD in existence.......2007-05-19

The lyrics are juvenile, the guitar work pre-beginner. How does this stuff get recorded?

Love it.......2006-08-11

i absolutely love this cd. It is mainly acoustic and Emme Packer has an amzing voice. This cd was definately worth purchasing. I have been listening to it practically nonstop since it arrived.

Gota Love it.......2006-03-13

I am not sure what this last review was getting at. With listening to this album i have found both male and female vocals, there is more than just her acoustic guitar. Great production and instrumentation portrayed. I cannot put this album down. Her lyrics are so deeply placed, i literally get a sense of her life through listening to it. I am very pleased and honestly don't think that
you would be let down with buying this album. It really is such an honor to own this. And experience her life through her music.

The Worst CD I have Ever Heard.......2006-03-07

Despite her pretty voice, Emme Packer's CD lacks strong lyrics and instrumentals. Every song sounds the same - same acoustic guitar sound on every track. And only her voice is heard, no others- redundant and boring. It sounds as though someone right out of 8th grade grade wrote the lyrics and composed the songs. BIG waste of bucks on this one.

BaJoink!.......2006-02-24

wow, emme is amazing. she could be the next britney spears! NOT! shes so much more talented then that. and her new shirts rock! if you dont have one yet, go to her website and buy one! i cant wait til she makes it big time so everyone can hear her music and touching lyrics. and you know if you need a personal skincare consultant on the road with you, im here for ya!

Fresh talent with a master producer..........2006-02-23

Mark Hill has made a career out of matching his unique producing skills with immensely talented young artists. This album is a chill compilation, sure to leave you wanting mor from the artists involved. My favorite tracks are "Let It Go," which features New York based singer Jared Lee and Breathless, featuring Delrosario.
