ECR Music Group Set to Release Deluxe Edition of Lesley Gore’s Acclaimed Final Album ‘Ever Since’ with Never-Before-Heard Bonus Track
ECR Music Group is set to release the acclaimed final album of legend Lesley Gore as a deluxe edition on November 17th, fully restored, remixed, and remastered by the album’s original producer and ECR founder, Blake Morgan. This new deluxe edition of Ever Since will also feature a never-before-released bonus track––Gore’s final studio recording––recorded during the album’s original 2005 sessions.
In addition to the ten original tracks on Ever Since, this final studio recording of Gore’s (Morgan and Gore’s reimagining of her previously Quincy Jones–produced song “Love Me By Name”) prompted Morgan to embark on a full restoration, remix, and remaster of the entire album. “We’d tracked ‘Love Me By Name’ in full, but never mixed it back in 2005. Mixing it this past spring provided me the impetus to breathe new life into the entire record and restore it in full, in all its glory.”
Produced by Blake Morgan, Ever Since is a timeless collection of classic songs placed in a transparent, pin-lit setting that allows Gore to shine. Included are reimagined versions of two Lesley Gore standards, “You Don’t Own Me” and the Academy Award–nominated “Out Here On My Own” (from Fame), seamlessly interwoven with new songs, including those by Morgan, and Gore herself.
“This remix and remaster of Ever Since isn’t one that attempts to change the nature of this record that so many have loved,” explains Morgan. “On the contrary, it’s a ‘restoration,’ akin to the kind of 4K restoration a movie studio would do for a great movie in their catalog, to preserve it for generations to come. The addition of ‘Love Me By Name’ for this deluxe edition provides the world with a powerful final chapter to this album, and to Lesley’s recording career––an unforgettable one which showcases her artistry at its pinnacle.”
Lesley Gore’s Ever Since [Deluxe Edition] is out November 17th on ECR Music Group.
It is with a great deal of sadness that I announce the passing of Lesley's mother, Mrs. Ronny Gore, yesterday, May 29th at the age of 100!
I met Mrs. Gore before I even met Lesley around 1965 and we had remained friends ever since.
A beautiful, gracious lady!
I will miss the many, many wonderful conversations we had throughout the years.
RIP, Mrs. Gore!

On this site, there is an unreleased song by Lesley and Lou Christie "Don't You Remember?" Also, Lou conducted a three part interview with Lesley in 1990 when they were appearing together. Very interesting!

October 24, 2016: As many of you know, Tracy Stark was Lesley's musical director for many years. She is also a very talented singer/songwriter! Tracy is releasing a new CD "Shades of Beautiful" (Miranda Records) on October 26th. She will be having a CD Release Party at Pangea in NYC at 7:30 pm (www.pangeanyc.com). On the CD, Lesley sings Tracy's song "Find My Strength." I believe this is the last new recording by Lesley. The song is absolutely beautiful and Lesley is vocally at her very best! The CD is available on Amazon as well as www.cdbaby.com. It will also (if not already there) be available at iTunes. A fantastic CD and a beautiful performance by Lesley!!!Dec. 3, 2016: Shout! Factory! released on Dec. 2nd, the TAMI and TNT Shows in Blue-ray format. It can be purchased from www.amazon.com or the Shout! Factory site.
