This CD brings together two LPs 'Hot Nights' and 'Ready For Your Love', recorded by Buddy in the 1980s

This collection comprises two albums recorded by Buddy Greco in Los Angeles in 1982 and 1984 respectively, working in both cases with producer/arranger Alf Clausen, who went on to become the sole composer of music for The Simpsons.

The two albums very much reflect their times, with a substantial proportion of contemporary soul and AOR material and arrangements. As a result, the collection makes for a cohesive creative entity, presenting a somewhat different side of Buddy's extraordinary versatility as he steps away from the more familiar jazz, big band and easy listening genres into a more contemporary area, performing a blend of well-known standards alongside original songs, including a couple of his own.

The two albums were originally only ever released on LP and cassette in the USA, so this thoroughly enjoyable CD will be a welcome addition to Buddy's fans collections.
