Release

The album was originally released as a set of four 10-inch 78-rpm phonograph records (cat. no. P-234) [3] . Later, it was made available on 45 rpm (four 7-inch records, cat. no. WP-234) [4]

Reception

Billboard perceived the album as having a big sales potential and picked it up for a review in the "Record Possibilities" column. The reviewer wrote: "With each passing year Vaughn Monroe appears to be getting warmer and truer with every tune his bottom-of-the-barrel pipes attack. [...] The songs are well selected standards and time-tested pops which are perfectly suited to his voice and which are lent additional appeal via tasty arranging and perfect tempos," singling out "The Whiffenpoof Song" (sung "in a simple and unpretentious manner") and "The Anniversary Song" ("equally simple and effective"). [1]

The album reached number one on Billboard's Best-Selling Popular Record Albums chart for two inconsecutive weeks in late January – early February 1949. [5] [6]
