We Get Letters is a 1957 album by Perry Como, his second RCA Victor 12" long-play album. The LP's concept is an album of requests from Como's television show, but forgoing the usual big-band sound of Mitchell Ayres' Orchestra and the Ray Charles Singers for a small group known as "Como's little Combo", with soft, breezy jazz arrangements by Joe Lipman. The album was recorded between June 1956 and February 1957.
Saturday Night with Mr. C was Perry Como's third RCA Victor 12" long-play album, and his first recorded in stereophonic sound. The album is structured as an extended version of the request section of his popular television show, beginning and ending with his theme songs "Dream Along With Me" and "You Are Never Far Away" and with his TV request theme, "We Get Letters" used twice in the album as an intro. At the time, Perry was seen on NBC's Saturday night schedule at 8 P.M. Eastern Time.
When You Come to the End of the Day is Perry Como's fourth RCA Victor 12" long-playing album, released in 1958 and the second recorded in stereophonic sound. It was recorded as an album of inspirational songs featuring well known traditional hymns such as "In the Garden" and modern inspirational tunes including "May The Good Lord Bless and Keep You". The album was reissued on compact disc in 2001.
Como Swings was Perry Como's fifth RCA Victor 12" long-play album, released in 1959. 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.
Sing to Me Mr. C was Perry Como's Eighth RCA Victor 12" long-play album. Joe Lipman was the chief music arranger for the release.

Seattle is Perry Como's 17th 12" long-play album released by RCA Records. The title track was Como's first Top 40 single in four years; RCA wanted to issue an album featuring the hit single, so this album was compiled consisting mostly of unreleased material from recording sessions held during the previous three years. This was Como's first true attempt at a contemporary 1960s sound. The album's opening track, "Happiness Comes, Happiness Goes", features distorted guitars and swirling organs.
Perry Como in Person at the International Hotel, Las Vegas is a 1970 album by Perry Como, his 18th 12" long-play album released by RCA Records and his first live album. These recordings were produced from Como's concerts at the International Hotel, his first concerts since his 1966 summer tour.
