Bingo Viejo
'' Bingo Viejo'' is a 1975 vinyl album recorded by Bing Crosby at his own expense during two sessions in 1975 at United Recorders, Hollywood. "Viejo" means "old" in Spanish. He was accompanied by Paul Smith and his Orchestra. Crosby, who called the LP his "Mexican album," leased the tracks to the English branch of Decca following negotiations with producer Geoff Milne and the album was issued on Decca's London label. He also leased the tracks to a US-based label called Anahuac. They remixed the tracks and used some alternate takes (tracks 6, 7, 9 and 10). Bing Crosby himself felt that this improved the album and he wrote to his friend Leslie Gaylor in a letter dated July 11, 1977. "The Bingo Viejo record has been remixed and it sounds much better than ever it did before. I don’t know what they did to it but they brought up the vocal a little more and cut down on the background, which made it sound a little more intimate and a little more personal." The album has never been i ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
