{"value"=>"<p>This series illustrates Lesley Gore's recording and performance career through test pressings, demonstration recordings, studio recordings-in-progress, rehearsals, live performance recordings, songwriting work recordings, and radio and television appearances.</p> <p>Among the audio recordings, the test pressings, demo recordings and works-in-progress date mostly from Gore's years at Mercury Records (1963-1969), as she received pre-release versions of her latest recordings for her own examination. Other recordings in that category include rough mixes or multitrack recordings of songs from later albums, including <span class=\"title\">Someplace Else Now</span>, <span class=\"title\">Love Me By Name</span>, and <span class=\"title\">Ever Since</span>; and song demos.</p> <p>The performance recordings, dating from 1974-2010, are at venues in New York City and around the United States. Rehearsal and work recordings contain songwriting sessions and band run-throughs, as well as a rehearsal for <span class=\"title\">Smokey Joe's Cafe</span>. Among the songwriting tapes are work sessions with Michael Gore, and a 1963 recording of Gore's mother Ronny. The radio and television appearances include several interviews with Lesley Gore, as well as recordings of the audio portion of television programs, including her 1965 appearance on <span class=\"title\">The Ed Sullivan Show</span>.</p> <p>Other audio recordings include a 2001 dance version of \"You Don't Own Me;\" <span class=\"title\">Gift Wrapped</span>, a set of Christmas songs recorded by Gore in 2000 and released as an extended play; and a duet between Gore and Lou Christie.</p> <p>The moving image recordings comprise performances; television and film appearances; and rehearsals. Among the performances are appearances at Rainbow and Stars (1992), Riverfest (New Hampshire) (2001), and Joe's Pub (2010). The television and film appearances include <span class=\"title\">The Ed Sullivan Show</span> (1963 and 1969), <span class=\"title\">The T.A.M.I. Show</span> (1964), <span class=\"title\">A Mod, Mod World</span> (1966), <span class=\"title\">The Donna Reed Show</span> (1966), and campaign advertisements for Robert F. Kennedy (1968), as well as performances and interviews on national and local television news, talk shows, and entertainment programs. There are also highlight reels of various Gore television or film appearances over the years.</p> <p>The rehearsals are with musical director Darrel Tookes and Gore's backing band for a 2010 appearance at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. These video recordings are extensive and reveal much about Gore's musical arrangements and working methods.</p>"}
