Marti Webb Sings Gershwin: The Love Songs is a live album by Marti Webb, recorded and released in 1998.
Background
Webb had record deals with Polydor, BBC Records and Telstar during the 1980s, but her last solo studio had been Performance (1989). She performed on the live recording of The Magic of the Musicals (1992) and had tracks included on Music and Songs from Evita (1995).
The album was produced by self-financed and co-produced by Webb with West End sound designer Mick Potter featuring tracks taken from a series of cabaret performances at London's Café Royal Green Room. In 1987 she had released Gershwin, an album of songs by George and Ira Gershwin, some of which was incorporated into the show.
The album was only made available through the London musical theatre merchandise shop Dress Circle and at the venues on Webb's tours. The liner notes dedicate the album to "Selina Elizabeth", Webb's mother.
