Como Swings was Perry Como's fifth RCA Victor 12" long-play album, released in 1959.[2][3] The album's concept was one of lively swing arrangements by Joe Lipman of standards from the Great American Songbook. The album was, in part, recorded to showcase the spectacular sound of RCA Victor's new Living Stereo recording process.
