1954 version

In 1954, the album was released on a 12-inch LP. Billboard described the LP as follows: "Our boy doesn't chatter or sing on this disk—just plays his usual flashy pianistics, backed by brother George's ork. The 12 selections range from 'Moonlight Sonata' and 'The Rosary' to the 'Maiden's Wish Samba' and 'As Time Goes By'. As usual, it's a shrewd hodgepodge of classics and standards, designed to please all his fans, whatever their musical tastes" and gave it 86 points out of 100.
