Dean Martin’s ‘Greatest Hits’ Coming to Vinyl in November
Udiscovermusic ^ | September 6, 2024 | Sam Armstrong

A vinyl version of Dean Martin’s ‘Greatest Hits’ is coming later this year.

Dean Martin’s Greatest Hits is coming to vinyl for the first time on November 1st.

Available in standard black and exclusive limited-edition color, the 13-track vinyl includes six new digital ATMOS mixes of some of Martin’s greatest hits. The songs with new mixes are “Memories Are Made Of This,” “Sway (Quien Sera),” “That’s Amore,” “Volare (Nel Blu Di Pinto Di Blu),” “Ain’t That A Kick In The Head,” and “You’re Nobody ‘Til Somebody Loves You.”

A testament to Martin’s continued sway in popular culture, multiple songs featured on the Greatest Hits album have recently earned new certifications from the RIAA. “Ain’t That A Kick In The Head” and “That’s Amore” are now both Platinum certified, while “Volare (Nel Blu Di Pinto Di Blu),” “You’re Nobody ‘Til Somebody Loves You,” and “Sway (Quien Sera)” are now all certified Gold. This year, Martin is on track to surpass his existing record of 1 billion yearly streams.

A holiday-season legend, Martin’s track “Let It Snow! Let It Snow! Let It Snow!” has also managed to continually chart even decades after his death, reaching No. 7 on the Billboard Hot 100 in December 2023. In August, his classic 2013 Christmas compilation Dino’s Christmas was also re-released in CD and LP format. Beyond “Let It Snow! Let It Snow! Let It Snow!” it featured time-honored favorites like “Baby, It’s Cold Outside,” “Rudolph, the Red-Nosed Reindeer,” “Winter Wonderland,” and “Brahms’ Lullaby.”

Martin, who died in 1998, received countless accolades during his lengthy career, including 12 Emmy wins (he hosted The Dean Martin Show on NBC from 1965 to 1974, and pioneered the celebrity roast), three Hollywood Walk of Fame stars, and a Grammy Lifetime Achievement award.

Back in the day, before the Rat Pack, I would defy anyone to find a woman who didn’t have the biggest crush on Dean Martin. The real “King of Cool”.

He never got over the loss of his son, and became a recluse for the rest of his life.

They’ll probably auto-tune the songs. I’ve heard many a “re-mastered” song and thought the original sounded a lot better.

Dean Martin, Frank Sinatra, Tony Bennett. None of them were perfect. But they all brought happiness to people who needed it.

And as a side note, I always thought that if I were stranded on a desert island and I could pick only one singer to listen to, I’d pick Judy Collins. But I’ve recently changed my mind. It would be Frank.

I saw Dean Martin live at the Shrine Auditorium in Los Angeles in 1980 at a rally celebrating Ronald Reagan’s birthday—at the start of Reagan’s campaign for the presidency. Martin did his comedy routine portraying a drunk.

Frank Sinatra also appeared and led us all in singing “Happy Birthday.”

The Celebrity Roasts were great. Especially the one with Reagan, when Don Rickles gets up there.

I think Dean Martin had a better voice. But Sinatra cared more about the music. He would pick songs and musicians to work with, and studios and production. Martin just showed up and sang what they gave him.

I watched Dean playing super spy Matt Helm the other night called ‘Murderer’s Row’ with Ann Margaret. In one scene he walks into a nightclub and Dino is singing with his band on stage as all the swinging 60’s sexy babes dance all around Dean on the dance floor. Karl Malden played the bad guy.

I totally agree. And if you listen to his background music, it is just right. Not to soft. Not overpowering. Just right.

Sinatra came to my town twice in my younger days. I still regret not going to see him. Being cheap is often not a good thing.

He’s better than Sinatra. I have both of them on my car audio system.
