Sinatra Sing and Dance with Frank Sinatra on Impex vinyl


I listened to the new reissue by Impex records of Sinatra Sing and Dance last night. For those who are considering this album as big Sinatra fans, or for those who just want a taste of Sinatra's vocal abilities, this album really delivers. 
Yet, while the album spot lights beautifully Sinatra's voice, the backing band is a little veiled and undynamic sounding. ( which is mentioned in the liner notes). With this caveat, I think the new Impex release should be in everyone's library, particularly if they are a fan of male vocals ( the out-takes on side 2 are extraordinary, Frank must have had a superior ear as his suggestions to the band are spot-on!) . Anyone else have an opinion of this release? Are there other new release options for Sinatra with both great vocals..and instrumental SQ?

Thanks. Anyone own the MoFi version of Sinatra at the Sands, seems like it may be the one to go for?
I would have to say your friend’s opinion is not popular. I also have a friend who owns various copies, including the MoFi, he tells me the MoFi is far superior to all the others, including his originals. I have heard the same opinion from other folks as well.
Thanks for the above link, but I would not be interested in a VG copy like the one you posted.
