Judith Durham [Australian Artist] [RIP] - Discography

Judith Durham


Born: July 3 - 1943 - Died: August 5 - 2022
R.I.P.
Judith Durham is best known internationally for the four years she spent in the 1960s as the lead singer for the Seekers, the Australian-spawned folk quartet that, at one point, rivalled the Beatles and the Rolling Stones in chart records. Her own taste in music, before and since her involvement with the Seekers, however, runs more toward old-time jazz and big-band blues---left to her own devices, Durham showed herself more attuned to the work of Bessie Smith or Billie Holiday, or Helen Morgan, than Mary Travers or Joan Baez, and she also knows how to write a good song, and what made the best songs of the 1920s and '30s tick -- in an ideal world, she would've been in (and on the soundtracks of) the TV version of Pennies from Heaven or The Singing Detective. Her solo albums are few and far between, although they have begun appearing on compact disc, and she still records anew in the 1990s.

Hi OzzieGuy. Love your blog & posts. Hope your health is on the up & up.
I downloaded Judith Durham - The Platinum Album. Great Aussie music. It seems track 2-Always There, and track 14-Jelly Bean Blues, are missing.
Any chance of looking at this?, and perhaps a re-link?
TIA

Ozzieguy said...

Hello Doc,
Thank you for your kind words and yes, I am doing a lot better thank you.
I have fixed the Platinum Album and re-upped it. Thank you for alerting me of my error.
Best Wishes
Ozzieguy

Apologies for posting my off-topic comments here, but I was getting an error whenever I tried posting them on the according "Maureen McGovern - Discography" post.

--------------------------------

I don't suppose you have her song "Different Worlds" by Maureen McGovern available in a higher fidelity format, such as lossless FLAC?

My elderly parents had a CD from something like 20 years ago that had this song on it, but the CD recently got damaged...

In order to burn a new disc, I was able to source lossless copies of every single song that was on the damaged disc...except for "Different Worlds" which I cannot seem to find anywhere on the internet in a lossless format.

(sadly, even using youtube-dl to download the Opus audio stream of "Different Worlds" from http://youtu.be/j5QFRISDdo0 gives a higher fidelity recording than the MP3 provided here as confirmed via a spectrogram)

Hi Doc
Am glad that you enjoy great music.
LOL a Magician Lol
