Single LPR90 Reel Tape that can be chosen between MONO or DUOPHONIC when ordering. Shipping and delivery from December 2025. 

Nat King Cole - Penthouse Serenade  (Numbered Limited Edition Mono)

The piano-led small group sessions on Penthouse Serenade bear little resemblance to Cole's trio work. The year after he had formally disbanded his trio to turn his attention to vocal pop music, Cole reversed himself and went into the studio with guitarist John Collins, bassist Charlie Harris, and drummer Bunny Shawker and recorded the eight-song 10" LP Penthouse Serenade, a quiet, reflective set of standards like "Somebody Loves Me" and "Laura" that he performed instrumentally at the piano.

The album confirmed that, whatever success he might be having as a singer, he hadn't lost his touch. In 1955, with the 12" LP gaining dominance, Cole went back into the studio with Collins, Harris, and drummer Lee Young (Lester Young's brother) and cut four more songs to create a 12-track reissue of Penthouse Serenade that was his first full-length LP release.

 AAA Master Reel Tape
Are you ready for the move to open-reel Penthouse Serenade sound quality perfection?

Magnetic Tape and the Emergence of High-Fidelity Recording. Each copy is transferred in real-time, using studio-level reel-to-reel tape recorders on the freshly made reel audiotape. Production of audiotapes is a very time-consuming process, so each label usually can only release a new album in batches.

For the first time on reel tape: Nat King Cole - Penthouse Serenade
 
Be ready to be blown away when you experience playback of a true high-fidelity recording on audiotape – your new album on reel-to-reel audiotape. The ultimate reel-to-reel tape is the latest retro-trend for audiophiles, it has a greater dynamic range than vinyl, is capable of producing extraordinary sound for the treble and bass, and there is less signal processing, which is the enemy of a hi-fi extraordinaire. Listening to music on reel-to-reel tape will allow you to discover details in the music you were never able to hear before. Nothing sounds better than music on an audio reel-to-reel tape.

Artist on labels: Nat "King" Cole at the piano
 
Nathaniel Adams Coles, known professionally as Nat King Cole, was an American singer, jazz pianist, and actor. Cole's career as a jazz and pop vocalist started in the late 1930s and spanned almost three decades, during which he found success and recorded over 100 songs that became hits on the pop charts.
 

Please note on the tape options:

Duophonic tape version sound was a creative workaround when true stereo was expensive or unavailable, and it differs from true stereo, which features separate, distinct sounds and instruments mixed into left and right channels from the original recording. 


Mono tape version is a single-channel audio recording, while duophonic is an artificial stereo effect created from a mono source by splitting it into two channels with different effects applied to each, like high-pass and low-pass filters, to simulate depth and space.

The name AudioNautes Recordings will almost certainly be familiar to trade show enthusiasts from the HIGH END in Munich: For many years, Fabio Camorani’s company (as well as Camorani’s second technology company AudioNemesis, which he runs together with Giuseppe Intorrella) has been one of the regulars at Europe’s leading hi-fi show. However, AudioNautes has long since become synonymous not only with first-class amplifiers, turntables and loudspeakers with insider tip status but also, with its subsidiary AudioNautes Recordings (ANR), with selected records of the highest quality.
