2.0 out of 5 stars Ear Splitting
All the good things everyone says about the music-making is true, but the sound is way too bright and harsh. It doesn't come close to comparing with recordings of the same date by Sinatra and Riddle (Songs for Swing' Lovers) recorded by Capitol in 1956, and onto CD in 1987 (!) . I cannot turn the volume up without fiddling with the equalizer, which is something I don't...

5.0 out of 5 stars Great, but one note..., June 5, 2002
By A Customer
This review is from: Bing Sings Whilst Bregman Swings (Audio CD)
While this is a fabulous recording and the sound on this "gold" version is very good, I encourage potential customers to seek out the version released in 2001 which is less expensive and has even better sound. The superior release is in a cardboard folder with the original photo-cover inlaid on a background of swirling red. Said disc is sometimes available on Amazon, and is quite commonly found in major record stores.

5.0 out of 5 stars A sublime album!, March 12, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Bing Sings Whilst Bregman Swings (Audio CD)
If you're a fan of big band swing behind a great vocalist, spend the money and get this album. You could spend twice as much and get half the quality. Buddy Bregman has few rivals (Billy May and Nelson Riddle come to mind) arranging for big band singers. Bing outdoes Frank on this album. And the gold mastering makes it all sound fresh.

This one's a gem!
