Sinatra's 1963 Studio Record Features New Takes on His Most-Beloved Classics Half-Speed Mastered from the Original Master Tapes for Fabulous Sound Part of Mobile Fidelity's Sinatra Restoration Series: Nice N' Easy, Only for the Lonely, Sinatra and Strings, Live In Paris, and Sinatra At the Sands Also Available on 180g LP You can't argue with a legend. And you can't argue with success. So when Frank Sinatra noticed that his former labels, Columbia and Capitol, were banking on his earlier hits by issuing compilations of older material, he decided he'd one-up their strategy. The singer had just formed Reprise, his own imprint, and immediately took control. Released in 1963, Sinatra's Sinatra is true to its name: The album features Ol' Blue Eyes revisiting a dozen of his best tunes, all selected by the singer, and all deemed to be among his all-time favorites. And now, on license from Frank Sinatra Enterprises, Mobile Fidelity engineers bring staggering sonics to the equation with this new LP release. Half-speed mastered from the original master tapes, the 180g numbered, limited-edition LP of Sinatra's Sinatra brings you closer to the music and The Voice. Riddle's arrangements have never sounded more spacious, and Sinatra's convincing timbre is clear, transparent, textured, and unbelievably present. Here is a vocal album that will soon become one of your reference favorites. The involvement of legendary collaborator, arranger and conductor Nelson Riddle looms large. Together, Riddle and Sinatra breathe new life into an incredible selection of pop staples: ''I've Got You Under My Skin,'' ''Witchcraft,'' ''Young at Heart,'' and ''All the Way'' among them. Loving Sinatra's Sinatra is as simple as the record's concept: You know all of these songs, and Sinatra, motivated to show the world he was at the top of his game, performs the material with ingrained passion and peerless emotion. His vocal inflections, Riddle's brilliant arrangements, and the quality.
Sinatra's Sinatra has some of Frank Sinatra's greatest hits and the song selection is a very strong one. This is certainly not a "greatest hits" compilation; but then again it doesn't purport to be a "hits" collection. The sound quality is great and the artwork is also very nicely done.
"I've Got You Under My Skin" features a more mature Sinatra swinging brightly just like the star he always was! Frank never sings a superfluous note and this impresses me greatly. The musical arrangement by Nelson Riddle lacks nothing--it's all THAT good. "In The Wee Small Hours Of The Morning," a number generally thought to be a song about Frank's breakup with Ava Gardner, shines like silver and gold when Sinatra gives this a very sensitive rendition and the music that accompanies him is beautiful. What a beautiful torch song! There's also "The Second Time Around;" "The Second Time Around" places Frank squarely front and center--and that's OK by me! Great!
"Witchcraft" was always one of my very favorite Frank Sinatra songs; and Frank certainly doesn't disappoint me here. His voice is strong and full of warmth; and I like this number very much. The arrangement by Nelson Riddle is very elegant, too. "Young At Heart" charms me with its beauty; and Frank sings this flawlessly. I could never tire of hearing Frank Sinatra performing "Young At Heart;" his delivery of this timeless ballad always moves me.
"All The Way" is easily a major highlight of this album; Frank Sinatra performs this with panache and I really enjoy "All The Way." The strings enhance the natural beauty of this melody and I predict that you'll enjoy this number very much if you haven't heard it sung by Sinatra already. Similarly, "Pocketful Of Miracles" has Frank singing his best yet again with a very cute children's chorus to bolster his performance.
"Call Me Irresponsible" is a Sammy Cahn tune that I could never cease enjoying--this is anything but elevator music! "Call Me Irresponsible" gets a slower than normal tempo but this still holds it own very well. The LP also ends nicely with Frank Sinatra singing "Put Your Dreams Away;" "Put Your Dreams Away" has great strings and woodwind instruments to bolster Frank's singing performance and this makes a stunning ending for this album.
