Amazing sound
I'm familiar with most of this from the old UK 20 Golden Greats album, but there's so much more clarity on these versions! In particular there's a resonance and, dare I say, vulnerability to Frank's voice that I haven't heard before. I recommend the CD version, as there seem to be issues with the ridiculously overpriced vinyl set. As for some people's complaints about the outtakes at the end, this is a quadruple album in old money so I think there's room for them. And they are quite funny.

Brilliant Sound Quality
I must have heard all of this several hundred times before, but this set is the most crisp and clear version yet. You will hear nuances in ‘the voice’ like never before.I wish they would do this with all Sinatra’s recordings.

The greatest singer/interpreter of all time.
Fantastic release. Best remastering in years!

AMAZING SOUND
I know all the songs on this set and have most of them on previous releases but I have never heard them sound so good, many of the tracks sound much bassier than I remember.

Disappointed
Feel like I've been robbed about half of the second cd taken up by "take #s" and an ad for a Broadway show . So many brilliant songs from the man himself I ask myself Why? . The songs that are included ,are class but so much more could have been done . Like I say Robbed .

Poor pressing and Quality control lets this down badly
A review of the Vinyl 4 LP releaseThe music in the parts that played was really good but certainly not audiophile Impex reissue level, this release shows more mids and Frank is brought forward in the mix than the CD Box set I have of the Capital years from 1998.However having tried twice with this box set I’m giving up for now as on both sets LP2 was so badly warped it couldn’t be played and on LPs 1 and 3 there was “pops” and other spots of non fill for both sets .. so I only really can say that LP 4 played well with no issues. This release isn’t a cheap deal and you’d have thought that quality control would have been uppermost in the minds of those overseeing this.Thank goodness for amazons easy returns so my rating is for this box overall not the music which would be a 3 out 5 in what I could listen to, whereas Impex Sing & Dance was a 5 STAR product all around a couple of years ago

Great Comp!
Capitol has issued a fantastic sounding compilation of tracks from Frank Sinatra's stint there in the 50's. Very well thought out song selection. The fidelity of the cds is the best I've heard from this period. I would highly recommend this compilation to new fans as well as those who've been collecting for years. I've been collecting Sinatra's music since the early 1980's. I started with the Columbia box The Voice: Frank Sinatra, the Columbia Years (1943–1952) (later getting the The Columbia Years 1943–1952: The Complete Recordings box), all the Capitol albums (including the singles compilation) as well as the The Complete Reprise Studio Recordings and The Song Is You (Tommy Dorsey years), The Complete Recordings Nineteen Thirty-Nine (Harry James & His Orchestra featuring Frank Sinatra). I'm a big fan of his work. Timeless music from a timeless artist.

Buena selección de temas en 2 cd
Buenas canciones, buen sonido, v en el segundo CD, al final, se oye la voz original de Frank Sinatra al comenzar las canciones

Superfluo
Per gli appassionati come me, un po’ superfluo; comunque, ottima rimasterizzazione e piacevole selezione.

Ich bin sehr frustriert
Die Vinylausgabe ist zwar sehr schön aber es fehlen die näheren diskographischen Angaben völlig. Bei jedem Titel ist zwar das Jahr und der Arrangeur angegeben aber das war es auch schon. Es ist nicht mal erwähnt aus welchem Album die einzelnen Songs sind, geschweige denn irgendwelche Liner Notes. Die CD enthält ein 24-seitiges Booklet, Vinyl rein nichts!!! Die paar Fotos und Zitate kann man sich schenken. Bei dem Preis von 140 Euros ist das eine Frechheit. Das ist doch eine Ausgabe für Sammler aber die werden keine Freude haben.

Delivered quickly and packaged in case of Armageddon
Good price, prompt service. Have turned into my Dad so like to listen to Frank after a tough day puttering around the house.
