Swinger!


No thats not Kevin Spacey from "Beyond the Deep Blue Sea".. thats the real mcoy: Bobby Darin... his breakthrough single, "Mack the Knife" (Grammy Winner Best Record 1959), was on the album "That's All" (ATCO 33-104)..... but "This is Darin" (ATCO 33-115), recorded just a few months later in early 1960, swings harder in my opinion.. it includes an attempt to replicate the "Mack" magic with "Clementine".. pictured here is the original English flipback (thats what you call those shoddy English covers)...
