Need a Frank Sinatra recommendation

The wife wants a Frank Sinatra CD for Christmas so I think..."sounds easy enough." Too many CD's to guess with so I thought I'd ask. She wants a best of type compilation, I want a good recording. Also, please recommend a few regular issue CD's (not best of) of his which I can look for later as well.
Thanks,

As A Sinatra fan for years the Capital stuff was ok for the time. Most of my favs are already mentioned.The stuff with Gorden Jenkins stand out the most for me. --Sept.of my Years---- Also try some Nat Cole w/ Jenkins. Gordy was such an arranger,I miss him. Nelson did well for Linda Rondstead and is worthy as well.

Well, it is for Christmas, so I would recommend "A Jolly Christmas From Frank Sinatra". The regular CD reissue and Capitol LPs are fine, but if you really want to treat mama get her the Mobile Fidelity LP, MFSL 1-135. Shalom, happy Chanukah and great listening.

Here's the recording for ya: The Voice. On Columbia, Legacy. Forties stuff-mid to late. This is a killer recording. It's in mono-His voice NEVER sounded better.
