Sinatra at the Sands is a 1966 live album accompanied by Count Basie and his orchestra, conducted and arranged by Quincy Jones, recorded live at the Copa Room of the Sands Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas.

It was Sinatra's first live album to be commercially released, and contains many definitive readings of the songs that are most readily associated with Sinatra.

"The Tea Break" section of the album contains comic relief by Sinatra, mainly about the drunkenness of Dean Martin and Joe E. Lewis.

• This album never appears on any of the critics list of best Sinatra albums but it has always been top 10 on the Seller's list. It may have something to do with the fact he saw Sinatra at The Sands in 1966.
• Read the late Stan Cornyn's liner notes and you'll be transported back to a night and a performance by the greatest saloon singer of all time performing with Count Basie & his orchestra conducted by Quincy Jones. It absolutely doesn't get any better than this.
• This copy is dated to the mid-seventies by the artists listed on the inner sleeve "Supergroup" sampler order form.
• These records have never been played.
• They are on the Sinatra photo Reprise label.
• The paper on board gatefold cover has tight seams, a stiff spine and no wear.
• The FREE "Sinatra The Main Event" pin is 2" x 5/8".
