    Looking for the best recordings by Frank Sinatra of these three songs:

    'It Was A Very Good Year'

    'My Way'

    'That's Life'

    Are the best versions of all three available on one recording?

    Uh, I guess you mean the best sounding versions, right?

    On vinyl, the original stereo LP of "September Of My Years" (3-color label with the relatively large picture of a "happy" Frank) for "It Was a Very Good Year". The original mono LP of the "That's Life" album for the title track, and for "My Way", I would say the original w7/r: label LP of the "My Way" album. Try to look for a 1A cutting in the dead area of the vinyl on each side of all 3 titles for (usually) the best sound.

    On CD, I'd say the Reprise Complete Studio Recording 20-CD set soundwise.

    If you're new to Sinatra and want a nice single disc introdution to Reprise era Sinatra, get the single disc "Sinatra/Reprise - The Very Good Years" CD, which is actually 1 disc distillation of the 4-CD "The Reprise Collection" box set prepared for Sinatra's 75th birthday in 1990, also recommended as a good introduction to Reprise era Sinatra for people new to Frank's music who wish to dig deeper than a single disc compilation of this era. Both of these collections have the 3 songs you were looking for Khorn.
