Synopsis

Album Description
This double set CD includes Perry's first two full stereophonic albums recorded back to back in 1958. The full title "Saturday Night With Mr. C." is released here complete in stereo for the first time ever, including the song "Come Rain or Come Shine" which had been deleted from all stereo versions of the original record album. As an added bonus, this album is featured here with six tracks from Perry's 1959 "Como Swings" album. The companion album, included within this set, is Perry's highly respected album of inspirational songs, "When You Come to the End of the Day", featuring some of Perry's finest performances and heartfelt interpretations. Both of these albums were produced by Joe Reisman with arrangements by Joe Lipman, Jack Andrews and Ray Charles. Recorded at RCA Victor's Studio A, New York City, and engineered by Bob Simpson, these albums are released here in their original "Living Stereo" formats. The songs from "Como Swings" were recorded in 1959 at Webster Hall, produced by Charles Grean and Lee Schapiro, and also engineered by Bob Simpson.

Perry Como´s mellow voice has never sounded better than in this collection of his standards. Sometimes romantic, sometimes playful, he never disappoints.

Perry Como fans must have this one.

"This double album captures PC at the height of his career. The vocal warmth and ambience of these RCA Living Stereo Recordings are superlative. When I was 12 years of age in 1958, my parents danced in the living room to these songs and I can tell all of the Baby Boomers who grew up on Perry Como: BUY THIS ONE! No disappointments here. This guy could really sing! Collectables did a good job of mastering the original tapes - without the hiss associated with 50's-generation master tapes. I'm a little surprised that BMG/RCA has not reissued these CD's in an audiophile HDCD format. Today's music cannot compare with the quality of these orchestral and vocal arrangements. They will be classics 100 years from now."

"If you want to hear the kind of music Perry used to do on his 1950's to early 1960's television show, "Saturday Night With Mr. C" is better than anything else he has done. In fact, it's one of my favorites of Perry's. The orchestrations by Mitchell Ayres are great, and some of the most memorable numbers are "Accentuate The Positive", "It COuld Happen To You", "Love Letters", "When I Fall In Love" (perhaps the definitive recorded version?), and of course the familiar, fun "We Get Letters". Great stereo! There are also some bonus tracks from "Como Swings", another album with great arrangements by Mitchell Ayres. While not a "pop" album, "When You Come To The End Of The Day" has some beautiful recordings of relgious music. As a Buddhist, this is about the only relgious music I can tolerate...it's just too beautifully done to ignore!"
