Basie* / Bennett* – Count Basie Swings / Tony Bennett Sings

Incredible pressing, sonically so well done. Classic records really out did themselves with this one!

Picked up a sealed copy of this for £10 at a Record Fair, Lovely clean pressing, worth seeking out if you find it cheap. Punchy sound as it's 45 RPM

This album just gets me excited (not inna weird way) has some great versions of "anything goes" "Plenty of money and you"

Phenomenal! SS 45 rpm. Wonderful. Highly recommend! A 33 (not as open but still great) is available from CR as well.

Great swing record featuring the Basie band backing Tony Bennett. Most of the songs are classics and all performed excellently.
The record is recorded well and sounds very good for the vintage it was recorded in. My copy is a VG+ which was a little noisy at first but played much better and settled down after a clean and a few spins.

Hi, is this recording in mono or fake stereo? Thanks.

If you love the idea of Tony Bennett singing through a collection of lesser known standards, accompanied by a great big band, you've come to the right place. When that big band happens to be Kansas City's own Count Basie Orchestra, the story gets even better.
These are masters at their craft, the arrangement support the vocal, and the vocal supports the arrangements.

The recording is clean and huge. However, there is a distinct lack of bass. Where did it go? The ultra highs are also likewise attenuated. Overall, there seems to be an emphasis on mid-range and upper mids. This is not problematic, but compared to a more modern recording, It lacks full range response. Perhaps this record was not intended to be played on higher end, or more modern equipment.

Nevertheless, if you find this, pick it up as the performances are stellar. Recommended.
