Hardcover. Condition: Near Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Near Fine. Cover photo of uncredited vixen by George Jerman (illustrator). 1st Edition. Not a book but a 12-inch, 33-1/3 rpm "High Fidelity" (mono) vinyl LP, Capitol T-2357, near-mint vinyl in a near-mint cardboard jacket with the word "PROMO" hole-punched into the upper corner. Don't know how the marketing folks at Capitol could have gotten much more straightforward than this: No need to wade through the fine print of 70-ish songwriter Jimmy McHugh's back-of-the-jacket palaver about "muted violins . . . candlelight, moonglow, and dreams for two" to get the unmistakable message: Buy an album called "Warm and Willing"; chill down some martinis, warm up the turntable, and someone who looks a lot like the young lady giving you the come-hither look on this jacket will slip out of something comfortable (already half accomplished) and happily join you in some reproductive behavior. (Hey, you think they were going to try and sell this thing by putting a big picture of balding frogface band leader Norrie Paramor on the jacket? I suppose they could have gone with the featured vocalist, opera singer Patricia Clark, the Glasgow soprano who voice-doubled the arias for Heather Sears in Terence Fisher's 1962 film "The Phantom of the Opera" (Herbert Lom as The Phantom, Ian Wilson as The Dwarf.) But believe us, this cover girl ain't that Patricia Clark. (In fairness, McHugh's "I'm in the Mood for Love" is a pretty good song -- though Julie London's 1955 version might have been more to the current point. (Jerry Lewis also sang it to Stella Stevens in "The Nutty Professor," 1963, though the classic version is probably still that of Little Rascals Darla and Alfalfa, 1935.) States "Produced for the U.S.A by Dave Dexter, Jr." . . . when he wasn't busy slicing up and playing "Mix-n-match" with selected tracks from various Beatles albums. So -- having rejected Eric Burdon & The Animals, Eric Clapton & The Yardbirds, Graham Nash & The Hollies, AND the first four Beatles hit singles, this was the kind of English music Mr. Dexter and Capitol figured Americans would go for? Nice cover girl, though -- uncredited, as usual. Reduced from $32.
