Pat Suzuki, best known for starring in the original Broadway production of 'Flower Drum Song' and originating the Rodgers & Hammerstein standard 'I Enjoy Being A Girl', enjoyed great success as a solo recording artist (receiving a Grammy nomination for Best Vocal Album in 1960), issuing four solo albums for RCA Records between 1958-1960. For the first time ever, all four of Pat Suzuki's solo albums 'The Many Sides Of Pat Suzuki' (1958), 'Miss Pony Tail' (1958), 'Broadway '59' (1959) and 'Looking At You' (1960) now make their debut on CD, presented as the Deluxe 2CD set 'Pat Suzuki - The Complete Album Series' to be released on April 13th 2018.
The retrospective collection features 50 tracks including Suzuki's haunting interpretation of 'How High The Moon' (later featured in the 1988 film 'Biloxi Blues') and her solo recording of 'I Enjoy Being A Girl' which became a Top 50 hit in the United Kingdom when issued as a single in April 1960.
'Singles And Rarities' compiles all of Pat Suzuki's non-album singles recorded for RCA, Capitol and PDA Records between 1958-1967. The CD concludes with a selection of unreleased tracks recorded for "Pat!", a mid Sixties solo album that was never completed. The five unreleased tracks include a showstopping version of Stephen Sondheim's 'Everybody Says Don't' (from 'Anyone Can Whistle'), a striking interpretation of Frank Loesser's 'Never Will I Marry' (from 'Greenwillow') and a unique reinvention of the Harold Arlen standard 'When The Sun Comes Out'.
'Singles And Rarities' forms part of Stage Door's COLLECTOR'S SERIES, a line of limited edition CD products presented in the retro style of a miniature long-playing record. All Collector's Series titles are limited to 500 units.
The release of 'The Complete Album Series' and 'Singles And Rarities' is a joint collaboration between Pat Suzuki and Stage Door Records.
