Backstory
“I adore making records. I’d rather do that than almost anything else. You can never do anything in life quite on your own – you don’t live on your own little island. Making a record is as near as you can get to it – although, of course, the arranger and the orchestra play an enormous part. But once you’re on that record singing, it’s you and you alone.” - Frank Sinatra
This comprehensive collection of Sinatra’s concept albums contains 14 thematic CDs and 189 songs that were hand-selected by The Voice himself. Whether consoling the lonely, giving the girls something to swoon about, or flying high with the Jet Set, Sinatra’s irresistible charm is evident in each and every quintessential recording.
Each album has been 24-bit digitally re-mastered and is presented with its original CD reissue artwork.
The complete box set includes the following album titles:
Songs For Young Lovers/Swing Easy
In The Wee Small Hours
Songs For Swingin’ Lovers
Close To You
A Swingin’ Affair
Where Are You?
Come Fly With Me
Only The Lonely
Come Dance With Me
No One Cares
Nice ‘N’ Easy
Sinatra’s Swingin’ Session
Come Swing With Me
Point Of No Return
Reviews & Recommendations
Is There A Rating Beyond 5 Stars?
This is, simply, the finest music ever recorded, period. Never before and never since has an artist more perfectly captured, interpreted and presented a song, an album or a set. Like playing cards, to really enjoy the game you need a full deck. To fully appreciate Mr. Sinatra's work, you must have every album in his Capitol canon. Individually, they are powerful and moving. Gathered together and remastered, they are unstoppable. I highly recommend this essential collection.

Unfortunately, the track
Unfortunately, the track information for each CD is not included in the Amazon summary, so it makes it hard to research this set. These albums are remastered re-releases of the original albums, which means that they are missing most of the bonus tracks that are on the 2000 box set and the individual releases. It might be that one or two albums had the full set, but most of the albums only had the originals from what I could tell.
This set is also missing the Christmas and orchestral albums that have been included in previous boxes, which may or may not matter to you.
That aside, both the packaging and the sound quality on this set are outstanding. The set is very compact, just a small black box with the fourteen CDs in reproduction sleeves of the original LP sleeves. I don't consider myself an audiophile or anything, but the sound was very clear and had the depth to it that is often missing in modern recordings.
If you're looking for good remasters of the original releases, without any frills or bonus material, then this is a great set for you. If you'd rather have all 16 albums with bonus material, then you might want to think about spending the extra cash for the older release, which is still floating around.
