Pure Gold is a 1975 compilation album of 10 studio recordings by Glenn Miller and his Orchestra recorded between 1939 and 1942 by RCA Victor.[1] The recordings were all originally issued as 78 RPM records on the RCA Bluebird and Victor labels and was certified Gold by the RIAA. The album was originally issued on LP and compact disc in reprocessed (fake) stereo sound; in 1988, RCA remastered the album in original monophonic sound for its second CD reissue. The album was also reissued on LP that year under a new catalog number (7648-1-R) and inexplicably omits two tracks ("Chattanooga Choo Choo" and "(I've Got a Gal in) Kalamazoo"), both of which appear on the reissued CD.
