LP "Falling In Love Is Wonderful" is originally released on Ray Charles' Tangerine label in 1963. Quite a nice album was made with arrangements by Gerald Wilson and Marty Paich. Ray Charles played piano by himself, and Jimmy believed it had to succeed. No sooner did the album come out, however, than Harman Lubinsky, Savoy records' owner, obtained an injunction, claiming Jimmy was still under the exclusive contract to him. Tangerine quickly had to stop the distribution. The album has been unavailable in any form for 39 years, and the few copies of the LP have become very rare and expensive collector's items since then. P.S. / Re-issued CD was finally released from Rhino Handmade on 27 September, 2002 in USA. An individually numbered limited edition of 7500 Copies which they ship only to US and Canada. International release will maybe begin in January 2003. P.S. 2 / International release of this CD will begin from Rhino on 13. January, 2003. Man can pre-order it at amazon.co.uk Cover photo is different from original. < Reviews > 1. all about jazz - October 1, 2002 2.
