The Dorseys, Miller, Shaw, Goodman, the Duke and the Count, they’re all here in their ORIGINAL performances in AMAZING HI-FI STEREO. These are NOT re-recordings but the real thing, transformed. Here’s what Billy Vera writes in his notes: “Our tech wizards have found a way to take 80-year-old mono recordings and convert them into the very best stereophonic, multi-channel sound you will ever hear. Don’t ask me how they worked this miracle. After listening and saying to myself, ‘This can’t possibly be. My ears are lying to me,’ I’m convinced. The impossible is not only possible, but real.” If you know Big Band you’ll recognize all these great songs, including the famous bonus track by Marilyn Monroe from Some Like It Hot. Includes a 12-page booklet with liner notes by Billy Vera. Check out the sound samples below (on your best system). You won’t find these EXCLUSIVE stereo gems online! — 23 SONGS / ALL STEREO DEBUTS / 79 MINUTES OF MUSIC! — — AUDIOPHILE QUALITY... CREATED BY COLLECTORS FOR COLLECTORS —
