This 10CD set documents one of the most remarkable label-artist partnerships in popular music, bringing together a staggering 12 complete original albums from Sinatra's Capitol years. Marking the beginning of his renowned collaboration with the inimitable arranger and conductor Nelson Riddle, the first two albums for Capitol, Swing Easy and Songs For Young Lovers, include a barnstorming ‘Get Happy’ and an infinitely touching ‘Violets For Your Furs’. Cited as a favourite album by everyone from Marvin Gaye to Tom Waits, the noirish In The Wee Small Hours is a bona fide classic of lost love and heartache, while its follow-up Songs For Swingin' Lovers!, which includes unforgettable versions of ‘You Make Me Feel So Young’, ‘I've Got You Under My Skin’, ‘Anything Goes’ and more, radiates an unalloyed joy, both in Sinatra's swaggering delivery and Riddle's stellar arrangements. Featuring ‘One For My Baby’, ‘What's New?’ and &$x2018;Blues In the Night’, Only The Lonely was considered by both Riddle and Sinatra himself to be his finest album and, listening to the almost Rachmaninov-like richness of the Sammy Cahn/Jimmy Van Heusen-penned title track, it would be churlish to disagree. Other Sinatra-Riddle classics include Nice ‘N’ Easy, Look To Your Heart and A Swingin' Affair. The set also includes Sinatra's first project with arranger Billy May, Come Fly With Me, plus an additional five complete studio albums that the singer recorded for his own Reprise label including the brilliant Sinatra-Basie: An Historic Musical First augmented by 43 bonus tracks taken from singles and other albums from the same period. The 24-page CD booklet includes original liner notes and album covers.
