Supper Club Favorites is an album by Perry Como released by RCA Victor in 1949. The album's title highlighted Como's television show sponsored by the Chesterfield ale brand.[1]
Release and reception
The album was originally released in two formats: as a set of three 78-rpm phonograph records (cat. no. P 237)[3] and as a set of three 45-rpm records (WP 237)[4]
Billboard reviewed the 3× 78-rpm record package in its issue from 26 February 1949, giving it 80 points out of 100 (which indicated an "excellent" rating) and writing: "Six of Como's big standard sides have been re-coupled and boxed in one of Victor's new-type containers, without pockets. Como fans, who have not already picked up most of these as singles should go for the entire deal".[1]
The album was ninth on Billboard's semi-annual list of "Top-Selling Popular Record Albums" of the first half of 1949, published in the issue from July 30.[5]
In 1952, the album was re-issued – with two additional songs – on a 10-inch LP (cat. no. 3044)[4] and as a two-extended-play (45 rpm) record package.[6]
