Capitol, US (72435-42308-2-0)
Released May 20, 2003
This version of Peggy’s celebrated pairing with piano great George Shearing is unlike any previous version of the album. When originally released in 1959, it was described as a “live” album. However, the actual live recording from Miami’s Americana Hotel was unusable due to technical problems, so the songs were re-recorded in a studio and the audience reaction was artificially created. This reissue uses the original studio session tapes, eliminating the phony audience and the announcements before each song, so it’s pure music. Ron McMaster, an engineer respected by many Peggy Lee fans, remastered this album using 24-bit super mapping.
