Not Real Cover

Here is a disc with covers and demos for The Vamp, Rumple and Portofino. I must thank barnabeee for this disc and for giving me the go-ahead to share it. 

Tracks 1-6 are devoted to The Vamp. Those tracks are all covers. The second track is from Unsung Musicals. The last four are from the cast recording of Taking a Chance on Love. I'm sure that many of you already have those tracks. Track 7-16 are songs from Rumple. Those tracks all seem to be covers. Tracks 17-25 are songs from Portofino. All but the last are from a demo. At the bottom of this post is a track list.

I got my info identifying the singers for most of the tracks from Darrel Karl's great site, Keeping Score (http://keepingscore.x10.mx/). I am slightly uncertain that I have listed the right singers on tracks 13 (Dickie Valentine) and 16 (Tommy Leonetti). It may be that those should be reversed. To hedge my bets, I wrote "Possibly" before the names on those tracks. Below the download link, I have some links to audios on youtube if anyone wants to weigh in on the question of the identities of the singers on tracks 13 and 16. 

I am also very slightly uncertain about tracks 9 and 15 since I could find nothing by China Lee online. But it does sound to me like it's Carmen McRae on track 9, and I don't think that she's the singer on track 15. I'm not that well acquainted with her as a singer, although after listening to some recordings of hers on youtube, I think that perhaps I should become better acquainted with her. If anyone thinks I'm wrong about Carmen and China, let me know.

I'm also unsure about the titles on tracks 23 and 24. Keeping Score is the only place where I've seen titles more specific than "Instrumental" for those tracks, but there was no definitive way for me to be sure which title belonged to which track so I've taken my best guess.
