Thanks but not talking about CDs. Talking about vinyl LPs. For those folks who are real Sinatra fans, they may want to really look for those Japan...
Hey, those recordings with Tommy Dorsey are nothing to laugh at either. I do prefer Capitol years, but what a soothing voice to be backed up by...
Maybe you didn't realize it but your post replied to one of, if not the most, knowledgable FS people on the planet. He is the author of this...
Virtually all records are poor facsimiles of what was played in real life. Several major pianists have told me that they have never heard a...
Thanks for the info. Did not realize. In general though any of the Capitol releases in Japan pressed by Toshiba are sonically superior to their US...
Yes, I was going to mention one of the 1950's Capitol albums. They had a beautiful sound then. I'll go for: Peggy Lee - Black Coffee (recorded...
Finishing up James Kaplan's mostly excellent (and certainly exhaustive) Sinatra Bio Part 2: The Voice and so plan to begin plumbing his albums...
Not to forget "Great Songs From Great Britain" from 1962, as well as the first Basie collaboration, both done on Reprise. What a two year run!
The 87 and 91 releases are very good and were the last AAD releases as far as I know.
True. Interesting Capitol could only come up with 11 songs on it instead of the normal 12. It did start a trend. Several albums were released and...
Pretty cool idea actually, the rooftop of Capitol records in LA - top of the world for recording artists in many ways. The Beatles on the roof...
It's just like the '65 model cars coming out in the fall of '64, or April monthly magazines coming out in March.
I understand the desire to have first pressings of the Capitol LPs (grey and turquoise labels), and I have all of those from Sinatra. But, my...
Frank Sinatra himself disagreed with you. Frank Sinatra on Ella Fitzgerald: “Ella Fitzgerald is the only performer with whom I've ever worked...

Those 1960-1962 albums were actually recorded in this order, which gets confusing: Nice 'n' Easy - Capitol Sinatra's Swingin' Session - Capitol...
First Reprise recording: 19 december 1960 Last Capitol recording: 12 september 1961 Almost a year difference.
The next step is within the grey or turquoise label to look for D1 scroll stampers from Scranton press to get a first first pressing. And it gets...
Alright, I haven't compared Dylan's cover albums to Ella's Verve songbooks (I recently sold her Verve CD box-set for $200). But I compared...

If the CD era had not been killed, we might instead have had a complete series of 6-8 CD boxsets of the complete Peggy Lee across the labels from...
From The Vaults (Vol. 1) is released digitally today, the first in a series gathering together various performances not yet available on streaming...
I like your inclusion of the two "Greatest Hits" albums. Both are great collections.
Thanks for that info - I'll take that going forwards.. . Thanks - Ritual Of The Savage is on my WANTS list - being in the UK makes the postage...
