In response to:

*** am trying to find a good list of all the albums that Frank Sinatra released during his life. I am not looking for record company compilations, just ones that he recorded and released during his lifetime.***

I searched for www.Sinatrafamilyforum.com referred to by Sid Mark in above entry,& it came back "unavailable & non-existent." Sid, is there such a thing as a private,family Website? Do you have an alternate Website?
