Three (Now Eight) Upcoming Sinatra/Capitol Titles on MFSL LP & SACD*

OMG! If we can't b&%tch about the mastering yet, we'll critique the art work!!! We're quite a bunch here, ain't we?

 

Do we have a release date set for these yet?

 

No doubt on that! For those who have never heard the mono, they gonna be blown away!

Word to Matt...get a DVR and record some nigh time stuff to watch during the day.

 

It does seem strange having a credit for Gordon Jenkins first even though the Sinatra credit is larger I wonder what the thinking was behind this.

 

I like the Original Master Recording banner. It makes it look important.

 

Acoustic Sounds is showing October 30 for the LPs and November 30 for the SACDs. Since the latter is not a Tuesday, that may just be an end-of-the-month guess. Music Direct says only October and November, which is what Nancy Sinatra estimated in her most recent SFF announcement.

 

I pre-ordered all of the SACD's. I have No One Cares in Mono on vinyl and Swingin Sessions! in stereo on vinyl and I have this UK import of the Where Are You? vinyl from the 80's which I think is probably digital based. Have never heard the mono of Where Are You? if its like the Only The Lonely album from a couple years ago then it should be awesome. I freakin love side A of theat album

 

I'm torn. I don't know which version to get, LP or SACD? As of now, I have none of the current MoFi offerings. I'm a bit of a stickler for consistency, so it bugs me that Nice 'n Easy and Only The Lonely are gold CDs and not SACDs. That makes me lean towards getting the LPs. But I also can't pass up Sinatra finally available on SACD! What to do???

 

Stop it. You KNOW you will buy all three in both formats!!!

 

I'll send my sure-to-be-angry wife your way, Paul. You can explain it to her...

 

It's true, it's true!

 

I emailed MoFi customer service this weekend and asked if there were any plans to rerelease Nice 'n Easy and Only The Lonely as SACDs. Their reply:

Bummer!

 

More money for you!

 

Another email to MoFi customer service, this time asking if we can expect more Sinatra titles in the future. Their reply:

 

I really hope that Sinatra at the Sands is released on SACD.

 

I know I should be happy with the recent announcement of 3 more Sinatra MoFi SACD's, but I'm greedy

 

Any word on these Release date?

 

All of the SACD's are listed as coming out on the 30th of November. I think sooner for the vinyl.

 

But see [post=8151204]earlier post[/post]:

 

Could be. Shades of some previous MFSL release delays? ...

Amazon has now listed the three vinyl titles with a release date of December 11, 2012:

• http://amazon.com/dp/B009OR04GK - No One Cares
• http://amazon.com/dp/B009OR05GE - Sinatra's Swingin' Session!!!
• http://amazon.com/dp/B009OR075I - Where Are You?

(The SACDs haven't yet appeared on Amazon's radar.)

 

Amazon Germany does list the SACDs but without a proper release date:

http://www.amazon.de/dp/B009OR05X2/
http://www.amazon.de/dp/B009OR0686/
http://www.amazon.de/dp/B009OR06KY/

 

Then these will be the SACD links at the Amazon.com (US) site:

• http://amazon.com/dp/B009OR0686 - No One Cares (SACD)
• http://amazon.com/dp/B009OR05X2 - Sinatra's Swingin' Session!!! (SACD)
• http://amazon.com/dp/B009OR06KY - Where Are You? (SACD)

 

I've just gone through two copies of MFSL's new version of Weezer's blue album. I won't try again. Distortion and excessive pops/clicks on side 2, right channel, for both copies. If this is any indication of MFSL's current QC standards, then I'll be going the SACD route for these Sinatra treats.
