I worked as a stagehand at Radio City Music Hall and had the pleasure of doing all of his concerts. He was the best of the best and the closest way to capture him as he sounded on stage is with vinyl, believe me I tried and cd's don't come close. I probably have over 35 of his albums besides the ones listed above you might want to try Sinatra and Strings, The Concert and my favorite Francis A. & Edward K.
Frank Sinatra at The Sands-Live........
I was not a big fan of Frank Sinatra but I found an album of his in my late uncle's collection (that my cousin graciously let me take). It was "Frank Sinatra", Reprise 1022. When I heard it I realized that my dislike for his voice was quite misplaced! I have gotten a few more of his LPs & have enjoyed them from time-time.
Just last week I found the "Frank Sintra & the Count Basie Orchestra at the Sands-Live", Reprise 1019 double-LP. When I bought it I had no idea what was in those grooves! Yest. & today I played this double LP & what an A-W-E-S-O-M-E 2 LPs these are!
Count Basie & his orch. does an absolute bang-up job of supporting Frank Sinatra & Frank, himself, does a stellar job of singing his songs! I have very few words to describe this LP-I'm virtually speechless! I was very lucky to get this double-LP set as it has never been played before! No spindle marks & no stylus marks on the LP!
Does anybody out there have this Frank Sinatra double LP? Do you guys also feel the same way about the music therein? Any other such stellar Frank Sinatra LPs I should be looking for? Thanks!
