Rating metrics:
Outliers can be removed when calculating a mean average to dampen the effects of ratings outside the normal distribution. This figure is provided as the trimmed mean. A high standard deviation can be legitimate, but can sometimes indicate 'gaming' is occurring. Consider a simplified example* of an item receiving ratings of 100, 50, & 0. The mean average rating would be 50. However, ratings of 55, 50 & 45 could also result in the same average. The second average might be more trusted because there is more consensus around a particular rating (a lower deviation).
(*In practice, some albums can have several thousand ratings)
This album has a Bayesian average rating of 70.1/100, a mean average of 68.8/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 68.8/100. The standard deviation for this album is 15.1.

The true rags to riches story of the era; the way it came to me, she was the girl in Atlantic City who rode the diving horse into the tank, for which she was paid with a spot in the stall and a share of the oats. Krupa heard her at an open mike of some sort, and liked her, and when Goodman passed on her-- she was about a crude as they come and that wasn't his style-- Krupa took her out with his own band and hand to mouth became mouth to in hand ever after...
She said something to the effect that she lacked a uvula and had to sort of force her soft palate to make sounds in a compensatory way, and that accounted for whatever was unique in her sound.
And she was Debbie Reynolds best friend, and sometimes you can hear Anita-influence in Reynolds' singing as she grew into the Hollywood star role that had come to her so unexpectedly.
If Anita O'Day has anything to say to you, it can be found on this record. It is wall to wall.

A lot of hard work happens in the background to keep BEA running, and it's especially difficult to do this when we can't pay our hosting fees :(
