Engelbert Humperdinck – You And Your Lover – 1983 – Vocal (vinyl lp)

Here's a fascinating piece of early 80s vocal pop that showcases Engelbert Humperdinck during his transition period between his golden crooner era and his attempt to capture the contemporary adult contemporary market. "You And Your Lover" from 1983 represents one of his more underrated efforts, featuring lush production that bridges his traditional orchestral arrangements with the sleeker, synthesizer-tinged sound that was dominating the airwaves. The album includes several standout tracks that demonstrate his vocal maturity, particularly his interpretation of romantic ballads that had become his signature, now given a more modern sonic treatment.

This Canadian Epic pressing is particularly sought after by Humperdinck collectors because it represents one of the better mastering jobs of this album. The Canadian plant was known for their superior vinyl quality during this period, and you can hear the difference in the clarity of the orchestral arrangements and the warmth of Engelbert's vocals. While this album didn't achieve the commercial success of his earlier work, it has gained appreciation among serious collectors who recognize it as an artistic statement from a performer who was willing to evolve with the times while maintaining his distinctive style. It's one of those albums that reveals more layers with each listen, making it essential for anyone documenting the full arc of one of the most distinctive voices in popular music.
