IMHO it would spoil the beauty of what is Mr. S's last great "I wouldn't change a single note anywhere" album.
Sounds all well and good. But I have enough copies of this in various formats to rival @MLutthans and his collection of Only the Lonely! I shall pass. However, it is certainly worthwhile to grab a pristine copy of the LP for those who may not have. For those complaining that it is not in monaural, keep checking eBay. I see them quite often offered at a decent price. Enjoy an undeniable MASTERPIECE as you all see fit!
One final question...is this not considered any part of "Sinatra 100"? Is that now finally laid to rest?
Not sure. The shop at Sinatra.com still has the "Sinatra 100" logo, but there is no mention of "Sinatra 100" in the press release. I think they are slowly putting it to sleep.
Love, love, love that this great album is being celebrated and reissued on both CD and vinyl (I've GOT to have one on blue vinyl!) Of course, just knowing that the people in control of these reissues might be checking out our thread here, I ask nicely, PLEASE consider issuing the 5.1 mixes of all of the Sinatra/Jobim material, that are sitting somewhere on a shelf collecting dust, instead of being in my OPPO to "reprise" (..."to play and play again")
I think I have 6 versions of this on vinyl and cd. It's one of my favorite albums of all time, but do I need this? I wish they'd put up some mastering info before the blue lp sells out. I'll probably buy the cd and vinyl anyway...
Thanks for the link Bob. Ordered the blue vinyl. Let's hope I don't get stung for import duties on top of the postage which was more than half the cost of the record itself! It should come with a download card for the bonus tracks do that's disappointing too. Peace and love✌
