When Frank Sinatra launched the Reprise label in 1961, his friends and cronies gradually signed for the label; Dean Martin was a case in point, joining their roster in early 1962, upon the expiry of his Capitol contract.

This compilation features his first two Reprise LPs, “Dean Martin French Style” and “Dino Latino”, the latter being a collection of largely Spanish favourites; both albums would be successfully reissued after Dino hit big with ‘Everybody Loves Somebody’, a
couple of years hence.

Also included, as bonus tracks, are Dino’s first few Reprise singles, ‘Tik-A-Tee, Tik-A-Tay’, ‘Just Close Your Eyes’, ‘From The Bottom Of My Heart (Dammi, Dammi, Dammi)’, ‘Who’s Got The Action?’, and ‘Sam’s Song’ , the latter a duet with Sammy Davis Jr. This is the first time this body of work has been thus compiled, while the bonus tracks are notoriously difficult to find elsewhere on CD.
