One of the rarer items in the Steve & Eydie discography, It's Us Again is an LP recorded as a promotional item for Silvirkin shampoo. On the ten songs, Steve Lawrence and Eydie Gorme duet on four tracks, the title tune, "Ain't Love Grand," "Aren't You Glad You're You," and the closer, "I Wish You Were Mine." Gorme takes solos on "Sunday, Monday or Always," "Like Someone in Love," and "All About Love," and Lawrence also has three solos: "I Thought About You," "But Beautiful," and "Tell Her I Said Hello." The performances are typical of the couple, separately and together, with the kind of post-swing big-band and string arrangements they generally use. Fans who come across copies will be glad they did, but only completists would want to spend serious money to obtain the disc. [Lawrence and Gorme issued the album on CD through their label, GL Music, with six bonus tracks, but that disc went out of print. The album has also been reissued by other firms.]
