Super Hot Stamper (Quiet Vinyl)Tony Bennett
I Left My Heart In San Fran
(Item #: benneileft_1911)
Our Price: $99.99
- This 360 copy of Tony Bennett's 1962 classic has outstanding sound, rating Double Plus (A++) or close to it on both sides - exceptionally quiet vinyl too
- Brilliant engineering by Frank Laico at his favorite recording digs (and ours), Columbia 30th Street studios
- 5 Stars and the winner of two Grammy Awards in 1962 including Record of the Year (not bad!)
- "From here on until the world changed again toward the late '60s, Bennett would not have to feel that he had to compromise his art for popularity, making up-tempo singles while longing to do ballads and swing material instead. I Left My Heart In San Francisco, a gold-selling Top Ten hit that stayed in the charts almost three years, demonstrated that he could have it all."

Super Hot StamperTony Bennett
The Many Moods Of Tony
(Item #: bennemanym_1805_1905)
Our Price: $59.99
- Both sides of this vintage Black Print 360 pressing earned outstanding Double Plus (A++) grades for their superb sound - exceptionally quiet vinyl too
- Everything that's good about All Tube Vocal Recordings from the '50s and '60s is precisely what's good about the sound of this record
- "The moods vary from a wild Caravan, introduced with a drum solo by Chico Hamilton joined by flute and bass and seemingly held together by Tony's voice alone, to Don Costa's almost cinematic big orchestra styling of Spring in Manhattan as well as the lightly melancholy moods of When Joanna Loved Me and Don't Wait Too Long. Throughout the album, Tony's effortlessly soaring voice gives meaning to every number."

Super Hot StamperTony Bennett & Count Basie
Strike Up The Band
(Item #: bennestrik_1812_3_5)
Our Price: $49.99
- You'll find outstanding Double Plus (A++) sound on this Emus pressing of Count Basie and Tony Bennett's 1959 classic collaboration
- The originals we have played are uniformly horrible sounding compared to these wonderful reissues - the tonality here is Right On The Money
- 4 1/2 stars: "... the pairing between Bennett and Basie remains impressive. The band raves through tunes like "With Plenty Of Money And You," and Bennett matches them, drawing strength from the bravura arrangements, while band and singer achieve a knowing tenderness on "Growing Pains." This is an album well worth owning..."
