More Dean Martin
More Pop and Jazz Vocal Recordings
- This vintage 60s Stereo LP boasts INCREDIBLE Shootout Winning Triple Plus (A+++) sound or close to it from first note to last
- With a voice that is relaxed, smooth and warm, Dino is the perfect guy to sing these songs
- The sound of this reissue is far better than any of the originals we played, which just goes to prove (once again) the old canard in the world of vinyl that original-is-best
- Rich, sweet, full of ambience, dead on correct tonality, and exceptionally breathy vocals – everything that we listen for in a great record is here
- Marks in the vinyl are sometimes the nature of the beast with these early pressings – there simply is no way around them if the superior sound of vintage analog is important to you
- “…with its lush strings, well-scrubbed vocal choruses, and buoyant mood, this collection has an appropriately festive feel.”
Having done this for so long, we understand and appreciate that rich, full, solid, Tubey Magical sound is key to the presentation of this primarily vocal music. We rate these qualities higher than others we might be listening for (e.g., bass definition, soundstage, depth, etc.). The music is not so much about the details in the recording, but rather in trying to recreate a solid, palpable, real Dean Martin singing live in your listening room. The better copies have an uncanny way of doing just that.
