Music for Lovers Only (or Jackie Gleason Presents Music for Lovers Only) is a studio album of easy-listening music by Jackie Gleason, wherein he conducted an orchestra performing standards. It was released by Capitol Records on October 27, 1952,[1] as a 10-inch LP with eight songs. It was reissued as an EP in January 1953,[2] followed in 1955 by a 12-inch LP with eight additional songs.[3][4][5][6] The extent of Gleason's involvement with the album's creation has generated debate since its release.[7][8]
