This month marks the release of Nothing But the Best, the definitive single-disc collection of the landmark 1960s and ‘70s recordings by Frank Sinatra. Featuring the same cover as the new Sinatra stamp, the 22-track album will be released on May 13, one day before the tenth anniversary of Sinatra’s death. Nothing but the Best documents the 20-plus years that Sinatra spent recording for the Reprise label, which he founded after leaving Capitol Records in 1960. At Capitol, Sinatra had made a string of albums that rejuvenated his career and set new standards for what was possible in pop music. He was 45, a star in both recording and film—but in many ways, as the title of one of the songs in the new collection has it, the best was yet to come. After founding Reprise. Sinatra was able to call the shots and make the records he wanted to make, resulting in a body of work notable for its range and scope. “At Reprise Frank was much more relaxed,” said Billy May, an arranger and friend of Sinatra who often worked with him in the studio. During his years recording for Reprise, Sinatra made such celebrated albums as the lush Sinatra and Strings, the collaboration Sinatra - Basie, the melancholy September of My Years and his definitive live album, Sinatra at the Sands. He won five Grammys, including two for album of the year and one for record of the year. Nothing But the Best contains newly remastered versions of Sinatra’s biggest songs from the Reprise years, along with an unreleased, newly orchestrated version of the standard “Body and Soul.” It includes “Strangers in the Night” and “Somethin’ Stupid” (a duet with Nancy Sinatra), both of which reached the Number One spot on the Billboard pop charts. Other Top 40 hits in the collection include “That’s Life,” “Summer Wind,” “It Was a Very Good Year,” and two of his signature songs, “My Way” and “Theme from New York, New York.” For a limited time, copiess of Nothing But the Best will include a collectible, commemorative stamp with official USPS first-day issue cancellation.
