“Something Cool” was first released as a single. Sales were steady enough to warrant an album built around the song. It was issued in 1954 on a 10”-LP (H-516) plus a 45 rpm set. More songs were added to produce an 12”-LP (T-1006 and T-516), then completely redone in Stereo (see session 60-04) . Both Mono and Stereo versions were issued in 2002 on one Capitol CD, Cap. 72435340692.Above session also on Cap. (J) CP32-5307.
