Customer Reviews

Sinatra Capitol Years Box Set (British import)5
This box set of 21 CDs is simply marvelous; it is a CD re-issue of the 1984 20 LP vinyl album set of the same name but with the addition of "The Rare Sinatra", which appears for the first time on CD and with added tracks. To me, this 21 CD set is more complete than "Concepts", since it also includes the releases "This is Sinatra" and "This is Sinatra, Vol. 2" as well as other titles not available in the USA. The sound is identical to the LP versions, since they used the same masters. The track "Mr. Success" on "Sinatra Sings Of Love And Things" sounds a little "echo-ey" on both the LP and CD. If you want a COMPLETE discography of Sinatra on Capitol, then by all means buy this box set from England, and then supplement it with: "The Complete Capitol Singles Collection", "A Jolly Christmas from Frank Sinatra", and also from Amazon.com there is an Austrialian import of 3 CDs which comprise the soundtracks to "High Society/Pal Joey/Can-Can". That should be the entire Capitol catalog as recorded by Sinatra. Others have written about the Sinatra/Nelson Riddle partnership and how it influenced popular singing and arranging so I won't go into that here. True fans of Sinatra would also own the 20 CD "Complete Reprise Recordings" also known as the "suitcase", the 12 CD "Columbia Years 1943-1952" in the "blue-box", the 2 CD "V-Discs", the 5 CD "Sinatra-Dorsey", and the 1 CD with Harry James. All these would be the entire Sinatra studio recordings from 1939 to 1988. There are others as well: "Sinatra Conducts the Music of Alec Wilder", "Sinatra Conducts Tone Poems of Color", and "Sinatra Conducts Music from Pictures and Plays", which has yet to be issued on CD, but none of these have Sinatra vocals. I hope this has answered any questions about the British Capitol release.

Comprehensive but just short of greatness4
This release, like "Concepts", presents a comprehensive, but incomplete inventory of Frank Sinatra's Capitol catalog. This set contains 21 CD's, with a total of 272 tracks, as opposed to Concepts 258. However, all of Frank's Christmas songs have been excluded. An even more glowing omission is the album Tone Poems In Color, which is perhaps the most daring experiment Sinatra ever attempted. Completely devoid of any vocals, Sinatra conducted an orchestra through musical pieces that were named after various colors. Leaving that off this set keeps it from being a complete record of Frank's Capitol legacy. The digital remastering, however, is nothing short of pristine with some tracks sounding like they were recorded in 1999 instead of the 1950's. If you want all the concept albums, then "Concepts" is the set you want. If, however, you want the most Capitol material in one set, this British import is the one to have.
