Frank Sinatra - The Best of Frank Sinatra (The Capitol Years)

The Best of Frank Sinatra (The Capitol Years)

By Frank Sinatra

Very Good Condition  (Like New - still in factory wrapping)

The Best of the Capitol Years is an effective distillation of the three-disc set The Capitol Years. Featuring singles and album tracks, the disc contains a fair number of highlights from one of Sinatra's most creative periods. Although the albums really are more effective as individual works -- and, therefore, straight singles compilations would be ideal -- The Best of the Capitol Years gives a good introduction to this pivotal phase of Sinatra's career.

A Review:

This is a flawless single-disc condensation of the three-CD Capitol Years box featuring many of Sinatra's most famous songs of the '50s and early-'60s period he spent making masterpieces for the label. Sinatra displays at least as many emotional shadings here as there are songs on the disc; not only is there the unfettered ebullience of "I've Got the World on a String" or the desolation of "What Is This Thing Called Love?" but a riotously insouciant reading of the ostensibly heartbroken "South of the Border" and a wise interpretation by the middle-aged Sinatra of "You Make Me Feel So Young." --Rickey Wright
