The Nat King Cole Story

"Under the auspices of recreating select classics in Stereo, Nat undertook what would become one of the prime examples of the Hi-Fi remake wave in 1961. While there can be little doubt but that Capitol was anticipating great commercial returns in a re-packaging of some 36 highlights from one of their greatest and most successful artists, this project was also produced with evident pride...."

"Initially the set was released in a deluxe edition in both stereo and monaural, as customary at the time, with the three LPs comprising the set also available as more affordable individual volumes. Selections from this project would also come to supplant the original recordings in countless compilations in the decades that followed."
