The album was originally issued in both mono and stereo, catalog numbers LPM\/LSP 1854. \u003cspan style=\"font-style: italic ;\"\u003eFancy Meeting You Here\u003c\/span\u003e is an early example of a concept album, the 13 songs combining romance and travel with songwriters Sammy Cahn and Jimmy Van Heusen contributing introductory and concluding versions of \u003cspan style=\"font-style: italic ;\"\u003eLove Won't Let You Get Away\u003c\/span\u003e as well as a new tune called \u003cspan style=\"font-style: italic ;\"\u003eFancy Meeting You Here.\u003c\/span\u003e Cahn wrote special lyrics to standards like \u003cspan style=\"font-style: italic ;\"\u003eHow About You?\u003c\/span\u003e and \u003cspan style=\"font-style: italic ;\"\u003eI Can't Get Started\u003c\/span\u003e that reflected the late 1950s and the personalities of the two stars. Billy May conducted, and contributed his usual bouncy and lively arrangements. All of that served as a setting for the always enjoyable interaction between Crosby and Clooney. In 1969, the album was reissued on the budget RCA Camden label under the title \u003cspan style=\"font-style: italic ;\"\u003eRendezvous\u003c\/span\u003e with a truncated and re-sequenced track listing and different cover artwork. This reissue destroyed the concept of the original album, and the abridgment, which omitted the first version of \u003cspan style=\"font-style: italic ;\"\u003eLove Won't Let You Get Away\u003c\/span\u003e as well as \"Calcutta\" and \u003cspan style=\"font-style: italic ;\"\u003eIsle of Capri,\u003c\/span\u003e further voided the concept. Following the death of Bing Crosby in October 1977, the 1958 RCA Victor stereo LP was reissued with its original title and artwork with the catalog number AFL1-1854. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Record Vision","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52793597264153,"sku":"LPM-1854","price":7.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0992\/6937\/8329\/files\/LP-bing_crosby-fancy_meeting_you_here-02.jpg?v=1783553441","url":"https:\/\/record-vision.myshopify.com\/products\/lpm-1854","provider":"Record Vision","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
