The full catalog of legendary crooner Dean Martin while at Reprise Records (1962 to 1974) has been acquired by Legacy Recordings who has initiated a reissue project.
Included in the deal are all the albums Martin recorded at fellow Rat Pack member Frank Sinatra’s Reprise plus the 1983 album The Nashville Sessions which was released on Warner Brothers.
The first two releases for the project were made last year with the The Dean Martin Christmas Album and Dean Martin: The Reprise Years. Both were MP3 only releases. The plan now is to remaster the entire catalog for release both digitally and physically over the next year.
Adam Block, president of Legacy Recordings, said “We’re so pleased to be working with the Dean Martin Family Trust in bringing Dean’s Reprise Records legacy to new generations. Dean’s music and style embody the very essence of ‘cool’ and now is the perfect time to introduce this timeless pop music to future fans.”
