Dino Latino is an album by Dean Martin. Recorded during August 1962, the album is a collection of Latin standards and popular songs composed in the same vein.
While the A-side of the record features five uptempo songs (among them are "Mañana" (popularized by Peggy Lee) and "South of the Border", which he later re-recorded for the soundtrack of The Silencers ), B-Side consists of five ballads. All songs on the album were arranged and conducted by Don Costa, except for the closing track, "La Paloma", which is credited to Chuck Sagle.
Originally released on Frank Sinatra's Reprise label as LP R(S)-6054 ('S' distinguishing the stereo pressing), the album's tracks made their CD debut as part of the Bear Family box set Everybody Loves Somebody (BCD 16343). A subsequent two-on-one CD (together with Dean Martin's preceding album French Style ) by Collectors' Choice restored the original running order.
In early 2014, Martin's entire 1962-1974 Reprise catalogue was acquired by Legacy Recordings, a division of Sony Music. Legacy stated they intended to perform album reissues, Dino Latino among them. The deal also included Martin's final album The Nashville Sessions, recorded 1983 for Warners Music. [1]

Everybody Loves Somebody is a 1964 album by Dean Martin on Reprise Records. The album was assembled quickly from B-sides and previously released album cuts recorded between February 1962 and April 1964 in order to capitalize on the success of the title track, but still reached 2 on the albums chart and obtained Gold certification. It was released on the same day as the Dream with Dean studio album which also contained another version of "Everybody Loves Somebody", but not the version on the singles charts, hence the B-sides compilation had "The Hit Version" emblazoned on the cover and outsold the new studio album.
