Description
When Frank Sinatra launched the Reprise label in 1961, his friends and cronies gradually signed for the label; Dean Martin was a case in point, joining their roster in early 1962, upon the expiry of his Capitol contract.
This compilation features his first two Reprise LPs, "Dean Martin - French Style" and "Dino Latino", the latter being a collection of largely Spanish favourites; both albums would be successfully reissued after Dino hit big with 'Everybody Loves Somebody', a couple of years hence.
Also included, as bonus tracks, are Dino's first few Reprise singles, 'Tik-A-Tee, Tik-A-Tay', 'Just Close Your Eyes', 'From The Bottom Of My Heart (Dammi, Dammi, Dammi)', 'Who's Got The Action?', and 'Sam's Song' , the latter a duet with Sammy Davis Jr.
This is the first time this body of work has been thus compiled, while the bonus tracks are notoriously difficult to find elsewhere on CD.
