I've Gotta Be Me / Summer of '42 (Plus Bonus Tracks)

Description by OLDIES.com:

A CD reissue of two classic Peter Nero albums, originally released on the Columbia label in 1969 and 1971. "Summer of '42" hit #23 on the Billbaord Pop Alubms chart, and the title track went as high as Top 25 on the Billbaord Pop Singles chart and peaked at #6 on the Adult Contemporary chart. "Lonely As I Leave You" and "Never Can Say Goodbye" are both previously unreleased tracks, and both "Theme From Jesus Christ Superstar" and "El Condor Pasa (If I Could)" were previously only available as Columbia singles.

Product Description:

2 LPs on 1 CD: I'VE GOTTA BE ME (1969)/SUMMER OF '42 (1971).

This two-fer from Collectables features a pair of out-of-print LPs by easy listening artist Peter Nero: I've Gotta Be Me and Summer of '42, originally issued in 1969 and 1970. These 26 remastered tracks find the pianist interpreting hits of the era including "Hey Jude," "(They Long to Be) Close to You," "Never My Love," "Make It with You" and "You've Got a Friend." This is an enjoyable but nonessential reissue chosen from Peter Nero's wealth of back catalog. ~ Al Campbell
