All songs within Volume 2 remastered in real stereo excepting "You Make Me Feel So Young"

which was originally recorded and released in stereo within Perry's 1960 RCA Victor

album "For the Young at Heart"

 

Stereo / Monaural versions should be exactly the same as the original UK 1975 K-Tel

compilation and drawn from the same sources. This has not been confirmed and, therefore,

stereo/mono designations above are speculation only.

Notes: These two album compilations are believed to have been released by RCA UK circa 1983. They are exact replications of the 1975 UK K-Tel International double album compilation "Perry Como ~ 40 Greatest" which was advertised on television and proved to be a million seller for Perry.  The original K-Tel compilation contained forty tracks on two records, ten songs per side. It is probable that these UK compilations are simply replications of the original K-Tel recordings.
