Dean Martin Sings
First released as a 10" LP in 1953, and as a 12" two years later, Dino’s debut longplayer for Capitol featured seven songs from his hit film collaboration with Jerry Lewis, The Stooge, and was recorded in two sessions on a single day (they just don’t make ’em like they used to)! 

Bonus tracks 'Blue Smoke; Johnny Get Your Girl; As You Are', and the B-side to 'That’s Amore', 'You’re the Right One'.

Swingin' Down Yonder
Dean followed the lead of his best buddy and now-label mate Frank Sinatra in recording this, his first “concept” album, but where Frank drew from the Great American Songbook, Dino’s approach was typically more lighthearted, drawing from classic Dixieland tunes to fashion this 1955 romp. That easygoing drawl was perfect for these tunes. 

Pretty Baby
When Dean went in the studio in January of 1957 to record his third album for Capitol, the pressure was really on: he had just broken off his phenomenally successful partnership with Jerry Lewis, who had gone on to record a hit album of his own for Decca. So, Dino, always deemed by the critics the less talented of the duo, really, 'really' needed a breakthrough record. Sadly, it was not to be, but 'Pretty Baby' proved to be perhaps the finest of his Capitol releases, with some of the best singing he ever did

Bonus tracks 'Beau James; The Lady with the Big Umbrella', and two rare songs from Martin-Lewis films, 'Me ’N You ’N the Moon' and 'I Know Your Mother Loves You'.

This Is Dean Martin
1958 was a very good year for Dino, the year that he fully rebounded from his split with Jerry Lewis, with critically heralded TV and film appearances ('The Young Lions' and 'Some Came Running') and three Top 40 hits to his credit. All three of those Top 40 hits were on this record, which, like 'This Is Frank Sinatra', was issued as part of Capitol’s “Star Line” series of compilations of non-LP singles. So, every track on here is a strong one, and some became calling cards for the rest of Dean’s recording career;

 Bonus tracks are all singles making their album debuts here: 'Forgetting You; Outa My Mind; Once upon a Time', and 'The Magician'

Sleep Warm
'Sleep Warm' was the record that Frank Sinatra conducted for his newfound pally Dean Martin. Recorded over just three nights in October of 1958, it was Dino's first stereo release and remains a fan favorite, thanks both to Sinatra's sensitive baton work and Martin' uncharacteristically understated singing. 

Bonus tracks–all of which appear here for the first time on album–'Zing-A-Zing-A Boom; Humdinger; Sailor's Polka', and 'Baby Obey Me'.

A Winter Romance
Fresh from starring as the town drunk–no typecasting here!–in 'Rio Bravo', Dean was at the height of his popularity when he entered the Capitol studios in the summer of 1959 to record his first Christmas-themed album for the label. But it wasn't quite a Christmas album; though 'White Christmas' and 'Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer' show up here, most of the record is given over to songs more suitable for snuggling in the snow. Even the cover showing Dino eyeing two snow bunnies served notice that this was not your father's holiday album...and, as such, this one goes down smooth all year long. 

Bonus tracks: 1951's 'Meanderin'' and 'Go Go Go Go', and 1960's 'Sogni D'Oro' and 'Buttercup of Golden Hair'. !

This Time I'm Swingin'

Fresh (?) from his paint-the-town-red stay in Las Vegas during the filming of 'Oceans 11' with the Rat Pack, Dino plunged into his most ambitious album to date with 1960’s 'This Time I’m Swingin’', which enlisted the considerable talents of arranger Nelson Riddle to craft a big band standards album on a par with what Nelson had achieved for Dean’s pal Frank Sinatra. 

Bonus of four of Dean’s earliest and rarest singles to this vocal classic: 'My One, My Only, My All; Choo ‘N’ Gum; You and Your Beautiful Eyes', and 'Bonne Nuit'.

Dino- Italian Love Songs
Dino had already left Capitol for Frank Sinatra’s Reprise label by the time this album came out in February 1962, but it proved to be the most successful album he recorded for Capitol. Why? Simply put, nobody, but nobody, ever did Italian pop songs like Dean Martin. The man had been singing these songs his entire life, and it showed in the warmth, sensuality and immaculate phrasing he brought to every track.

Bonus tracks  'Bella Bella Bambina; Belle from Barcelona; Guiggiola', and 'Simpatico'!
 $13.95  Catalog #: 0605

Cha Cha De Amor

Dean Martin’s last recording for the Capitol label was this 1962 collection of pop standards done Afro-Cuban-Latin style, with Nelson Riddle once again waving the baton and weaving his arranging magic. Another classic!  

Bonus tracks 'I Passed Your House Tonight; Wham! Bam! Thank You Ma’am; The Peddler’s Serenade', and an earlier version of 'Vieni Su' than the one that showed up on the 'Italian Love Songs' LP.

Hey Brother Pour The Wine
With Dino scoring hit album after hit album for the Reprise label, Capitol released this 1964 collection of non-LP singles to capitalize on his success, and with a mixture of chart hits and b-sides, it holds its own against almost any of his other releases for the label.
