Nat King Cole

Where Did Everyone Go? - Analogue Productions APP 1859-45 (two 45rpm LPs)

As this series of Nat ‘King’ Cole LPs, pressed on two 45rpm discs, concentrates on his golden era, you know what to expect: perfect sound quality, breathtaking arrangements, tasteful material and that voice. Aaah! That voice! It delivered so much, and was so inimitable that Cole could use it to make any song his own. This release from 1963, the last of a trio of LPs arranged and conducted by Gordon Jenkins, was themed with the subtitle ‘Songs of Love And Loneliness’. Cole creates the necessary mood with such completeness that you feel an ache in nearly every note. ‘Am I Blue?’, ‘Say It Isn’t So?’… a perfect counter to the more optimistic Love Is The Thing. 

Sound Quality: 95%
