The collection showcases two complementary sides of London's intimate vocal style: the lush, carefully arranged orchestral setting of \u003cem\u003eCalendar Girl\u003c\/em\u003e and the sophisticated late-night traditional pop of \u003cem\u003eYour Number Please...\u003c\/em\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003eOriginally released in 1956, \u003cem\u003eCalendar Girl\u003c\/em\u003e was recorded in Hollywood in May of that year and produced by Bobby Troup, with arrangements by Pete King. The album is built around a clever calendar theme, with songs for each month of the year followed by \"The Thirteenth Month\". Highlights include \"June In January\", \"I'll Remember April\", \"Memphis In June\", \"September In The Rain\" and \"Warm In December\", combining London's hushed, sensual delivery with richer orchestral backing than the sparse guitar-and-bass arrangements of her celebrated debut \u003cem\u003eJulie Is Her Name\u003c\/em\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003eThe second half moves forward to 1959 and \u003cem\u003eYour Number Please...\u003c\/em\u003e, an album arranged and conducted by the legendary pianist and composer André Previn.
