Nat King Cole - Song of Delilah (1950) + Here's to my Lady (1951) [Capitol UK 78 CL13670 1952]
Vocal jazz | Original Capitol UK 78 CL13670 1952 78rpm transfer | Flac | No Log (78rpm rip) | Scans | 57.1 Mb

Here's the one and only Nat "King" Cole with his trio consisting of Irving Ashby on guitar and Joe Comfort on bass backed by the Dave Barbour Orchestra covering the haunting Song of Delilah, the music theme heard on Cecil B. DeMille's 1949 epic Samson and Delilah starring Hedy Lamarr and Victor Mature. Flip side is Johnny Mercer's Here's to my Lady. Nat sings backed by the Les Baxter Orchestra. 78rpm record transfer from my personal collection. Once one gets used to the sound of these, he realizes how much more natural they sound compared to CD remasterings that sound artificial. I even included the original raw file for the brave to experiment, enjoy.


Technical info:

Thorens TD 126 mk III turntable
Audio Technica 1100 arrm
Shure M78S cartridge
Rotel RHQ-970 Michi Phono stage

Thanks very much for these beautiful performances by NKC. I can only imagine the challenge of working with 60 year old 78 rpm discs. I have several CDs compiled from 78 rpm sources in which the life was cleaned out of them. You found a good balance and I encourage you to keep up the good work.

Giggling at the idea that I am downloading my first 78 rpm transfer... very impressive!
There are so many older recordings on this format by artists out there whose music is waiting for a chance to be heard.
