- Total Recorded Time
Approximately 49:00 ( including "Come Rain or Come Shine" )
-
- Perry’s first full stereo recordings were made
between
February 12th and March 12th, 1958
- Recorded at RCA
Victor's Studio A, 155 East 24th Street, New York City
-
The
original RCA Victor release of this set was LOP/LSO-1004
which was later
- changed to LPM/LSP-1971.
-
-
All
stereo pressings of "Saturday Night With Mr. C." excluded the track
- "Come
Rain or Come Shine" despite having
the title clearly printed on the jacket.
- It is assumed that this 'cut'
had something to do with space limitations within the
- new stereo format LP
recording. This song was re-released in 1967 within the
- RCA Camden
compilation "Hello, Young Lovers,"
CAS-2122 (e), but the
stereo
- version was electronically reprocessed from monaural.
-
- The first known release of " Come Rain
or Come
Shine" in real stereo was in 1989
- within a CD compilation titled "The
Harold Arlen Songbook" RCA 9936-2-R ( VA ),
- featuring songs of the
composer Harold Arlen by various artists. Strangely,
- a companion CD
released at the same time, "The
Johnny Mercer Songbook"
- RCA 9788-2-R ( VA ), featuring songs
composed by Johnny Mercer, contained
- the same selection in monaural.
-
- "The
Johnny Mercer Songbook" RCA 9788-2-R ( VA ) ~
MONAURAL ( 1989 )
- "The
Harold Arlen Songbook" RCA 9936-2-R ( VA ) ~ LIVING
