The 4 tracks marked (p) are notable for the heavy make-up the producer insisted that Cole should wear. He did persuade the producer also to shoot the same material without make-up. THIS superb compilation of Snader Telescriptions demonstrates to perfection the two sides of Nat "King" Cole - the smooth, velvety-voiced crooner and the crea-tive, influential jazz pianist. In his trio or quartet, these
two aspects were usually combined to stunning effect. These three-minute performances, made as fillers for TV, were the forerunners of videos, but unlike the modern version these are actual filmed performances: What you hear is what you also see. Cole (1917 - 1965) clearly regarded them as invaluable promotional aids for his recordings, as most of the 15 featured tunes, including several of his big hits, had been recorded for Capitol by the Cole combo between 1943 and 1950. According to jazz movie historian David Meeker, the majority of these short flicks were produced in 1951 when Nat had become perhaps the number one black entertainer of the post-war era. The pianist's trail-blazing trio was expanded to quartet size in 1949 with the addition of conga drummer Jack Costanzo, and this is the group which figures as an entity on nine numbers. On two ("For Sentimental Reasons" and You Call It Madness") Nat reverts to his original trio format, while for six ballad interpretations the quartet is joined by a lush Hollywood string section. Costanzo's palms are put to good use on the Cole solo vocal vehicle, "Calypso Blues", a paean to the Trinidadian lifestyle. Its interesting that there are versions of "Home" and "Nature Boy" by both the quartet and the expanded ensemble. whereas "Sweet Lorraine" is offered in two takes, both by the quartet. Even more remarkable is the fact that two of these shorts with strings ("Always You and "Nature Boy") are offered here in colour, having survived the changes of ownership of the Snader company. As for Nat Cole's voice, it has charmed generations of listeners with the unique qualities which are on show here. Irrespective of whether he was giving a hip treatment to a jump tune like "Route 66" or caressing a commercial concoction such as "Mona Lisa", Nat always delivered a flawless interpretation. Watch, listen and believe it!

WHAT YOU GET:
This item is for the original media, and includes only the media (ie. CD, floppy ...) UNLESS specifically stated above and/or in the title. If more than just the media is included, it will state which items are (ie. box, manual, etc ). Items that come in a sleeve refer to a generic CD sleeve (typically white) and will be sent with shipping protection to avoid damage during transit. If available, we will also send the front and/or back CD inserts if in stock. If these are important to you, please message us to verify we have them available to send. Please do not assume items are included other than what's stated. Again, ask questions PRIOR to purchasing if you have any concerns.
IMAGES:
All images/pictures are stock photos and are for reference only, mainly to show the type of game you will be getting. Please read "WHAT YOU GET" for what is included with the media. Screenshots may vary based on your own computer system, video card, monitor, etc.
COMPATIBILITY:
Computers are like people, each one is different. Unlike console games, a computer game may install and work flawlessly on one system but may need adjustments on another. This is due to a variety of factors, mainly the OS platform running, video card you have, drivers, protection software installed, etc. Many times manufacturers release updates to games to fix bugs and add enhancements. We would be happy to help get the game going on your computer, but ultimately compatibility issues are the responsibility of the buyer. We suggest going to Google and searching for the name of the game along with the words "system requirements" to determine if your system is suitable. Ultimately, we are not responsible for software compatibility problems or publisher's errors.
PLATFORM:
Stated within the auction is what platform the game will work on (ie. Windows, Mac, Linux...) This is a generic statement and specific platform versions (ie. XP, Vista...) will have to be researched by the buyer. Games that came out PRIOR to XP or higher will not specifically state they will work on that release, but only because they came out before those versions were made. Many, if not most, will work on XP or higher with a few quick adjustments. We provide instructions with all items purchased on how to do this adjustment using the Program Compatibility Wizard. If we find out that an item will definately not work on a specific version, we will state it. For DOS games, you may need to play it with a free DOSbox program if the Program Compatibility Wizard does not work.
64-Bit Windows OS Systems:
For 64-bit Operating Systems, older games most likely will NOT work due to 64-bit systems not being able to run 16-bit programming code (most games prior to 2000). For DOS games, you may need to play it with a free DOSbox program.
Macintosh Systems:
For Macintosh programs, most older games will need to be run in Classic Environment if you have a MAC OS X 10.0 - 10.4 version. Please research Google on how to do this, or send us a message for information prior to purchasing. If your MAC OS system doesn't support Classic Environment (ie. MAC OS X 10.5 or Higher OR Intel Macs), you will have to try running it using the free program called SheepShaver, but compatibility is not ensured. Please research prior to purchasing or ask questions.
MEDIA FORMAT:
Please verify you have the required hardware in order to use the specified media (ie. CD, DVD, floppy drives, etc.) If the item comes as a floppy disc, make sure you have either the needed 3.5" floppy drive or the bigger and older 5.25" floppy drive.
RECOMMENDATIONS FOR A SMOOTH PURCHASE:
Ask questions PRIOR to purchasing an order to avoid any confusion.
Be patient if there are problems during installation or gameplay. Typically someone else has
already ran into that problem and has listed a solution online. Contact us and we will do our best to help.
Be sure to update your video card drivers and search for updates to the game from the manufacturer.
