Description
Universal Music are proud to announce the first Frank Sinatra and The Rat Pack vinyl reissues under the new global Signature Sinatra label, encompassing special selections from across both the Capitol and Reprise repertoire strands which are remastered on 180-gram heavyweight vinyl complete with download vouchers.
This first collection of Sinatras singles and B-sides with Nelson Riddle is also the best one. The album kicks off with the irrepressible Ive Got the World on a String and features such essential tracks as South of the Border, The Gal That Got Away, Learnin the Blues, and the movie themes Three Coins in a Fountain, Young at Heart, and The Tender Trap. Rain and Dont Worry Bout Me are dark ballads good enough to be on one of Sinatras wrist-slasher LPs, and display a depth that many of his singles lack. The shimmering romantic ballad My One and Only Love is one of the few original Sinatra singles that instantly became a much-covered standard, though interestingly, the song isnt usually connected to him. However, this wouldnt be a Sinatra singles session if there werent at least a couple of losers on the set, and Love and Marriage and From Here to Eternity are two well-sung numbers that dont deserve their continued popularity. This Is Sinatra! has been out of print for decades, but all of its tracks can be found on the excellent box set The Complete Capitol Singles Collection and various Capitol reissues. ~ Nick Dedina
