Classic Records has proven to be an Audiophile Company second to none in the new millennium. But Classic Records, unlike other top Audiophile Companies, does not place Limited Edition numbers on their LP jackets.

8 years ago, Classic Records changed their vinyl weight from 180 gram to 200 gram. Mymusicfix knows no expert that has been able to decipher a true difference in quality with this 20 gram weight increase.

What this change did for Collectors of the finest vinyl pressings was establish a First Edition element to Classic Records Audiophile pressings. All Classic Records 180 Gram pressings are now Out of Print and Very Limited Edition Collector's First Edition Pressings.

In the long term, First Editions will be what Collectors seek. When you look at Classic Records First Edition 180 Gram pressings.It could be one of the most collectible pressings ever in this 180 Gram First Edition

There are three really great Tony Bennett albums, and this 1958 album originally released on Roulette Records is one of them (for the record, the other two are "I Left My Heart in San Francisco" and "Snowfall: The Tony Bennett Christmas Album"). Ironically, Count Basie did not have all that much of a hand in the album. Yes, it is his orchestra, which certainly sounds great. But Basie only plays the piano on two of the tracks, "Life Is a Song" and "Jeepers Creepers." Bennett's own pianist Ralph Sharon not only plays the piano on the other tracks but did all the charts for these songs as well. Still, these songs are very much done in the Count Basie style, as evidenced on "Strike Up the Band," "Chicago," and "With Plenty of Money and You." You would not think of Bennett as being a jazz singer per se, but he is right at home in front of the Count Basie Orchestra proving he would have been a great band singer if he had been born a decade or two earlier. My favorite track is "I've Grown Accustomed to Her Face," a song from the musical "My Fair Lady," which you would have thought was written by Bennett as it is one of those perfect marriages of singer and song. He never sang any song better than this one.

From fairly early in Tony's career, and fairly late in Count Basie's. He is also super with "Anything Goes" and "I Guess I'll Have to Change my Plans."  Some of the less well-known songs on here are also quite interesting. 

Tony Bennett I Wanna Be Around... MFSL  TREMENDOUSLY OUT OF PRINT Numbered Limited Edition 180 GRAM AUDIOPHILE LP

Numbered, Limited Edition! Half-Speed Mastered from the Original Master Tapes: Bennett Sounds As If He's Onstage Feet Away! 


Tony Bennett I Wanna Be Around on Numbered Limited Edition 180g LP from Mobile Fidelity. 1963 Vocal Set Is Trademark Bennett: Calm, Cool, Collected, Charming. Brims With Mellow Ballads, Softly Swinging Pop, and Memorable Arrangements. 

Recorded during his peak era, Tony Bennett’s I Wanna Be Around continues the crooner’s upward trajectory as he nestles into a superb batch of heartfelt ballads, softly swinging pop, and frisky bossa nova with the kind of charm, control, and coolness reserved for a legend. The follow-up to the singer’s breakthrough I Left My Heart In San Francisco (also available from Mobile Fidelity on 180g LP MFSL 1-358), this 1963 set is every bit its predecessor’s equal. Read: A bonafide vocal classic. 

Half-speed mastered from the original master tapes, Mobile Fidelity’s numbered limited-edition 180g LP presents Bennett in to-die-for sound. Amazingly, this landmark recording has lavished in the vaults over the years and longed for the restoration that meticulous engineering can bring. Gone is the veiled haze that hung over the orchestrations, artificial ceiling that held back the highs, and cloudiness that obscured the entire range of Bennett’s vocals. And we’re not just talking about the inferior digital editions. Previously unheard degrees of warmth, expressiveness, and detailing are just some of the newly uncovered aspects of this majestic recording. 

Pairing again with producer Ernie Altschuler and pianist Ralph Sharon, and adding the skills of expert arranger Marty Manning, Bennett navigates his way through heavenly pop territory, turning phrases that bridge myriad moods and feelings—wistful, romantic, sentimental, longing, happy, autumnal—while making listeners feel each and every word that seemingly tumble out of his mouth. Bennett fully invests himself in the performances. And part of the appeal is just how relaxed he remains, a trait that helped him propel both the title track and “The Good Life” into Top 20 hits. 

Decades before he’d join the likes of Bono for a Duets album that reprised some of the classic material found here, Bennett perfected on I Wanna Be Around a traditional vocal pop sound that is best described as the touch of velvet. His mellow singing spans from conversational to soaring, his timbre sensational and note-perfect. Bennett inhabits the lyrics as if every song were expressly written for his voice. What’s more, the arrangements remain sympathetic, neither over- nor underdone, resulting in a superb combination of color, style, sophistication, and suaveness. 

Mobile Fidelity’s collectible 180g LP resonates with standard-setting transparency, imaging, projection, smoothness, and dimensionality. Capturing a human voice remains the most difficult recording task. Suffice it to say that this LP will join the ranks of the very best recordings you own. And of course, the music is on the same elevated level as the sound.

TONY BENNETT & COUNT BASIE ORCH In Person! MFSL 24 KARAT GOLD AUDIOPHILE RARE CD

Each CD was pressed directly from the original studio master session tapes ; the purest source of musical information and engineered to produce the finest CD sound quality available.

Every compact disc delivers the music to you with all the depth, dynamics, and richness of the live recording session.  We invite you to hear the three-dimensional quality of the music just as the artist intended for it to sound.

The proprietary mastering technology extracts and transparently stores more musical information from the original master tapes than any other method in existence.

For the discriminating listener, the results include: a wider range of frequencies, increased depth and room dimension cues, clarity, and separation of instruments.

The technology substantially decreases characteristics such as hardness and glare bringing the sound of CD even closer to the warmth and openess of analogue.

Why Buy 24K Gold CDs? Aluminum particles are rough, resulting in pits and irregularities on the playing surface. Gold particles are uniform and have a constant rate of reflection giving an even, reproductive sound quality. Also, 24K Gold CDs will not oxidize or tarnish and will last for years longer than traditional aluminum CDs

Album Notes
/Count Basie & His Orchestra.Personnel: Tony Bennett (vocals); Count Basie (conductor); Frank Wess (flute, saxophone); Charlie Fowlkes, Frank Foster, Billy Mitchell, Marshall Royal (saxophone); Wendell Culley, Joe Newman, Thad Jones, Snooky Young (trumpet); Al Grey, Henry Coker, Benny Powell (trombone); Ralph Sharon (piano); Fred Green (guitar); Eddie Jones (bass); Sonny Payne (drums); Candido Camero (bongos).Recorded at CBS 30th Street Studios, New York, New York on December 22 & 30, 1958. Originally released on CBS (8104). Includes liner notes by Didier C. Deutsch.The story with this 1959 release is that the original live recording proved unusable, so a substitute studio session was scheduled with applause etc. tacked on afterwards. The session is certainly up to the high standards of both prime Tony Bennett and Basie's "New Testament" band, if slightly constrained by the artificial set-up. Still, as always, Bennett gives his all, especially on the impassioned near-gospel renditions of "Without A Song" and Kurt Weill's "Lost In the Stars
