Has Frank Sinatra's first recording "Our Love" ever been released?

Quoting from Wikipedia:

"On March 18, 1939, Sinatra made a demo recording of a song called "Our Love", with the Frank Mane band. The record has "Frank Sinatra" signed on the front. The bandleader kept the original record in a safe for nearly 60 years. "

Has this recording ever been released? And if so; where? Thanks.

 

Not officially.

The original 78 rpm one-off lacquer disc sold for $14,000 several years ago on eBay. See here for more.

 

One small correction: The auction was actually held by Guernsey's in NYC in conjunction with a two-day auction of rock 'n' roll memorabilia from Dick Clark's collection in late 2006. (I remembered eBay because it was possible to follow along and bid online there.) Here is a link to the auction lot description for the Sinatra record:

Sinatra First Studio Recording, "Our Love" 1939​

 

For those who prefer paper over Wikipedia bits, an excellent reference about this recording is Chuck Granata's book:

Sessions with Sinatra : Frank Sinatra and the Art of Recording
by Charles L. Granata (Foreword by Phil Ramone, Afterword by Nancy Sinatra)
First (hardcover) edition 1999: A Capella Books, Chicago (256 pages)
ISBN 1-55652-356-4
​

Recommended for much more than the "Our Love" story on pp. 2-3. Also available in paperback.

 

Frank Sinatra's first studio recording

For those who want to hear this, it's being played on Nancy Sinatra's NANCY FOR FRANK program on the Siriusly Sinatra channel of Sirius/XM radio (satellite and online) this week.

There's one more encore remaining: Thursday, June 10, from 9 p.m. to midnight Eastern time. The "Our Love" segment is about midway through the show, so if you don't want to listen to the entire three-hour program, tune in just before 10:30 p.m. Eastern (7:30 p.m. Pacific).

 

That's a great book by Chuck, time to give it another read. I've still yet to hear the song "Our Love" shame I don't own the original

 

There's a nice description of the recording, taken from Chuck's book —> "Our Love" with Frank Mane

The current owner of the original record has introduced himself at the SFF.

Here you go, Tina:

"Our Love" is....timeless, Tina.
