APO presents Sam Cooke's most intimate, most soulful and ultimately most personal recording. Originally released in 1963, Night Beat has the feel of a private performance, captured after hours when the audience had gone home and the singer was singing purely for the love of his songs. The performance put forth is simply straight from Cooke's soul. His selection of songs includes spiritual, bluesy ballads and gospel classics. Cooke owns these songs, making each interpretation all his own. Mastered by George Marino at Sterling Sound from the original three-track masters, APO's SACD includes all three channels.
