Notes: ~ This 45 RPM Extended Play compilation features four selections from his first RCA Victor 12"

format LP "SO SMOOTH" recorded and released in 1955. Recordings during this period were

often released in several formats, the short-lived 10" LP was being replaced by the larger 12"

format record but there still existed a large market for 78s, 45s and the 45 Extended Play album

which would continue to approximately 1960.

 

All tracks in this compilation were monaural.
