CD Reviews

A Reference Nat King Cole Vocal Disc

Mr. F. J. Coop | Woodbridge, Suffolk United Kingdom | 09/15/2010

(5 out of 5 stars)

"As my previous review (of 'The Very Thought of You') outlines - the new Analogue Productions Nat King Cole Hybrid SACD releases are a true revelation.

Compared to all other CD releases of this title, including the much reveared DCC Gold CD version (also mastered by Steve Hoffman)this new AP version of 'Love is the Thing' clearly surpasses them all.

The strings within the Orchestration are now far sweeter to the ear, the stereo image vastly wider & deeper whilst the intricate detail of all the instruments within the sophisticated arrangements scored by Gordon Jenkins can now be easily recognised.

As for the vocals! well, it's like being next to Nat in the vocal booth during the recording Session!...(as an example, you can clearly hear him set off the microphone limiter on track 8 at around 2'40" singing 'being').

As with the AP 'The Very Thought of You' release, this is a Hybrid SACD disc - so if you're lucky enough to own the requisite hardware, you'll be able to unlock the amazing aural detail of the 10 tracks that are contained within the SACD layer and experience Nat King Cole as if you were attending a master tape playback in the Studio....yes, it really is that good.

In fact the only way to get a CD that could possibly equal this release on sonic terms, is to buy another Nat King Cole Hybrid SACD Title from Analogue Productions....I certainly will be!

Very Highly Recommended!"
