- Dear Friends:
-
- For a change, I thought
I'd like to write
- all you nice people a
letter.
-
- For one thing, I hope you
enjoy this
- Highlighter Album —
the songs in it happen
- to
be among my personal favorites.
-
- I've
wanted for a long time to thank you for the many
- wonderful
letters you send me.
- I
figured out the best way I could do this was to say it with music.
- And
that's the story behind our new album, WE GET LETTERS.
-
- It's
your album really because all the songs in it are the ones most requested
by you
- in
your letters to me. We tried to present them the way you liked them on
our
- TV
show, with a couple of Mitch Ayres boys backing me in the rhythm
department.
-
- If
we overlooked your favorite tune this time, we'll
- try
to include it next album around.
-
- Thanks
again. Keep those letters coming in.

- This 45 RPM Extended Play
compilation
was released circa 1957. It is one of two special
- compilations sponsored
by Kleenex Tissues and available by mail order throughout the
- United
States and Canada in conjunction with Perry's successful television show.
This
- promotion preceded Perry's Guinness Book of World Records' contract
with Kraft in 1959
- and their exclusive sponsorship of what became known as
the "Perry Como Kraft music Hall",
- a 25 Million Dollar Contract
widely publicized in the press.
