[1] In April of 1960, Christy and Rugolo re-recorded all 11 selections in stereophonic sound, so that a stereo version of Something Cool could be issued.

[5] Arranger Rugolo worked for the Kenton big band in the late 1940s during Christy's tenure, and in addition to husband Cooper many of the players on sessions for this album were Kenton alumni — Milt Bernhart, Conte Candoli, Maynard Ferguson, John Graas, Skeets Herfurt, Shelly Manne, George Roberts, Shorty Rogers, Frank Rosolino, and Bud Shank.

[8] Will Friedwald placed the album on his desert island discs list in the 1996 republication of Jazz Singing,[9] stating in his 2010 tome A Biographical Guide to the Great Jazz and Pop Singers that: Something Cool was released first as a ten-inch LP in 1954, and then upgraded to a twelve-inch LP in 1955 with four additional tracks for the expanding albums market.

Notably, the 1955 edition was re-recorded for stereo by Christy and Rugolo, with variations in session musicians, in its entirety over three days, April 26-28 1960, and released again under the same title in 1960.

In 2001 a further compact disc reissue appeared, 22 tracks with the entirety of both the 1955 mono and the 1960 stereo LPs in correct original running order.
