Ultimate Sinatra [VINYL]

Nice double LP.The gatefold presentation is brilliant with track lists and info from composers / bands present with a nice picture of the chairman with the band behind him.The tracks go from Frank's early recordings (side A is mono I think) to his later recordings in a fairly chronological order.As far as the quality goes, it's a pretty good pressing. I heard barely any pops or cracks. Due to side A having older tracks there was a bit of background 'hiss' present, but this did not distract or get in the way. Side B to D had wonderful separation, Frank's singing prominent above the mix, the various brass sections rising and falling around a solid well produced percussion / rhythm section. Overall an enjoyable listen.It was a nice way to spend a Sunday afternoon listening to these records. A good collection and probably a good introduction for anyone looking to get into Frank.

What can one say, this is Frank Sinatra and that should be enough.Many people will ask "What do you get, Is there anything new" well you get 4 cd's covering a career spanning decades, not an easy task if you sit down and think of it.There is nothing really new except for the 4 track bonus EP you get via download, personally a DVD would of been nice but then I'm greedy and want everything.For me the quality of the disc's is good and clean with a very crisp voice, well done to the producers of this set they must have been Frank fans themselves.The set is divided into 4 parts each part looking at a given point in his life, the first is "The Big Band Years 1939-1942", the second "The Columbia Years 1943-1952" the third "The Capital Years 1953-1962 & 1993-1994" and finally "The Reprise Years 1960-1988".There is two different version of this available one a single disc version and the other "The Centennial Collection" this four disc version wich is by far the superior version and in my opinion a must have even if you have these tracks from other sources.

This is a tremendous collection of Sinatra music - really excellent and brings back so many happy memories.

Frank from the beginning...in brilliant sound... absolutely wonderful... I'm in tears listening....sooo many memories 🥰🥰🥰

I bought this for my boyfriend’s 18th birthday because he loves Sinatra and he says he loves it! It works perfectly and sounds amazing. Very happy with this purchase.

It's not called the ultimate Sinatra for nothing. Just recently started getting into the rat pack / swing era music and this covers the best of the best of Frankie's recordings. Audio quality is very good, clear but with the old sounding sound of the era.I hope this review helped you. If so, I would appreciate it if you clicked on the Yes button for a helpful review. If you have any questions, please ask. I am pretty responsive to comments

One would say when I ordered it the best yet to come (to my door in an Amazon package)

This is a CD which I got for my Dad. He is a big fan of Frank Sinatra.
