Sings Evergreens
Sings Evergreens is a compilation of recordings by French singer Amanda Lear, released in Germany in December 2005 by label Dance Street (a sub-label of Siebenpunkts Verlags Gmbh/ZYX Music/Mint Records).
With the exception of "Dreamer (South Pacific)" from album Never Trust a Pretty Face, on this release only included as a three minute excerpt, Sings Evergreens contains cover versions recorded between the years 1977 and 2001, adding 2005's single "Copacabana" and the re-recorded duet version of "I'll Miss You" with German-Spanish singer Manuel Sanchez from his album Ambitious (ZYX Music).
This compilation was issued shortly before 2006's studio album With Love. The latter doesn't have a misleading title, it does include evergreens and jazz standards, all tracks do run their full length, all its tracks are transferred from the original master tapes and, most importantly, its release was authorised by Amanda Lear herself.
