Recorded during his peak era, Tony Bennett's I Wanna Be Around continues the crooner's upward trajectory as he nestles into a superb batch of heartfelt ballads, softly swinging pop and frisky bossa nova with the kind of charm, control and coolness reserved for a legend. The follow-up to the singer's breakthrough I Left My Heart In San Francisco, this 1963 set is every bit its predecessor's equal. Read: A bonafide vocal classic. Half-speed mastered from the original master tapes, Mobile Fidelity's numbered limited-edition 180-gram LP presents Bennett in to-die-for sound. Amazingly, this landmark recording has lavished in the vaults over the years and longed for the restoration that meticulous engineering can bring. Gone is the veiled haze that hung over the orchestrations, artificial ceiling that held back the highs, the cloudiness that obscured the entire range of Bennett's vocals.
