Description:
4 CD set. Every A & B side single released by Frank Sinatra during his most creative era. Many of these tracks appear here on CD for the first time. Beautiful booklet, too. This four disc set, by its nature, supplements the Concepts box rather than overlapping with it. The bulk of the singles Sinatra recorded during his Capitol period were not included on his contemporaneous albums. Thus, many of these songs had no digital home until the release of this set. Listeners are taken further afield here, as the singles format freed Sinatra from the stricture of his theme albums, allowing him to tackle all manner of songs.There are light hearted tunes like "Who Wants To Be A Millionaire?" and "Can I Steal A Little Love?" and wonderful oddities like "Ol' MacDonald" the farmhouse never swung so hard before. Naturally, there are swinging classics like "Witchcraft" and lost love laments such as "The Gal That Got Away" though saloon singing largely gives way to peppy popcraft on these sides. |
