Included with this deluxe reissue is a 3,200-word essay by Chris Hall about the album.

All tracks playable as 3-Ch & Stereo on the SACD layer & as Stereo on the CD layer. No Mono mix included.

“…the SACD deserves its own special mention because Analogue Productions mixed the SACD for multichannel playback. The 3-ch versus 2 debate will forever rage, especially as to why 3-ch didn’t ‘win’, but the benefits are audible if you have access to a center channel speaker. Sheer gorgeousness from 1963.” Sound Quality = 95% out of 100% – Ken Kessler, Hi-Fi News, August 2011

This is the 3rd & final collection to feature the team of Nat King Cole & Gordon Jenkins (arranger). Their earlier collaborations yielded the uniformly superior chart-topper Love Is the Thing (1957) & follow-up The Very Thought of You (1958). As the moniker suggests, there is a perceptible poignancy & longing weaved throughout Jenkins’ arrangements. The opener “Where Did Everyone Go?” possesses a solitude accentuated by responsive instrumentation that supports, yet never intrudes. Cole’s practically conversational delivery of pop standards — such as Irving Berlin’s “Say It Isn’t So” or Johnny Mercer’s “When the World Was Young” — become musical soliloquies with the score as a sonic subtext. His rich & cozy baritone carries the ache of “Am I Blue?” & the slinky “I Keep Goin’ Back to Joe’s” into an understated, almost plaintive blues. Here he perfectly demonstrates a boundless capacity as a melodic interpreter of song. “No, I Don’t Want Her” finds Cole’s voice gilded with an intimacy that virtually takes the listener into the singer’s confidence. As he had done on his previous outings with Cole, Jenkins supplies one selection. Suitably “That’s All There Is, There Isn’t Any More” is the last track on the album & certainly provides a lovely contrast to Judy Garland’s arguably more familiar reading. ~ CDUniverse
