[Magnus]

PILITA and ARTHUR YOUNG and his orchestra:

 Drop into a night club in sophisticated Manila, or make a date to 
catch the late show at a Singapore supper club and you'll hear her 
name... Pilita.
Hidalgo Spanish, twenty-two, beautiful, Pilita purrs a warmly intimate 
album in the mood amore.

I love this LP, only copy I have ever seen, got it for $3 off eBay, it 
has some scratches, but they are mostly noticable on the beginning of 
each side, side 2 is the most unique/finest, if you want to listen. ´

So apparently this beautiful Philipinian girl and asian mega star 
toured Australia for some time in the late 50s or early 60, I believe 
this LP was recorded in Australia, as I dont understand spanish I am 
happy to hear her sing in English on most tracks.
