Nat King Cole — Penthouse Serenade

Numbered edition 180-gram LP limited to 450 copies

One-step plating for superior sound!

Pressed on crystal colored vinyl at Optimal in Germany

The piano-led small group sessions on Penthouse Serenade bear little resemblance to Cole's trio work. The year after he had formally disbanded his trio to turn his attention to vocal pop music, Cole reversed himself and went into the studio with guitarist John Collins, bassist Charlie Harris, and drummer Bunny Shawker and recorded the eight-song 10" LP Penthouse Serenade, a quiet, reflective set of standards like "Somebody Loves Me" and "Laura" that he performed instrumentally at the piano.

The album confirmed that, whatever success he might be having as a singer, he hadn't lost his touch. In 1955, with the 12" LP gaining dominance, Cole went back into the studio with Collins, Harris, and drummer Lee Young (Lester Young's brother) and cut four more songs to create a 12-track reissue of Penthouse Serenade that was his first full-length release.

One-Step vinyl is the ultimate vinyl pressing, meaning the vinyl is pressed from the stamper made directly from the lacquer, minimizing noises and loss of details.
