There is a high probability that these tracks were recorded in a two-track binaural stereo format and mixed-down to monaural. Some recordings from this era have inadvertently been released by the label owners in recent years but historically they have denied the existence of these recordings. Time-Life Music recently released a binaural version of Mr. Como's 1957 recording of "Catch a Falling Star" with remarkable results. It is available in their compact disc series "YOUR HIT PARADE" on the "1958" compilation.
: "Delaware" was recorded December 28, 1959 and "Caterina" was recorded February 14, 1962. Although released only in monaural within this compilation, both have been subsequently released in stereo. "Caterina" was first released in real stereo within the 1970 RCA Victor compilation "This Is Perry Como" VPS-6026 (e) and "Delaware" was released in 1993 within the compact disc box set "Yesterday & Today ~ A Celebration in Song."
