That Bad Eartha ...Plus (1953)

Met dubbel zoveel nummers als de oorspronkelijke LP. Het extra materiaal stamt uit dezelfde tijd. "Kitt's second album became a US Top Five hit in a year when the curiosity about this exotic creature seemed to be limitless. Although from South Carolina, Kitt came across as an international chanteuse, which spending a few years in Paris, among other places, will do for you. Her recording of "C'est Si Bon (It's So Good)," included here, had reached the US Top Ten, preceded by a minor chart entry in "Uska Dara -- A Turkish Tale" and followed by another, "I Want to Be Evil." In addition to French and Turkish, Kitt sang in Spanish and Swahili, which was more than enough to justify her image as a classy import. Another part of that image was her somewhat predatory sex appeal, which was explored fully in "I Want to Be Evil", "Let's Do It" and "My Heart Belongs to Daddy." By now, she had developed an act she could keep playing for the rest of her life. And that's exactly what she did." (William Ruhlmann, Allmusic)
