Need a Frank Sinatra recommendation

The wife wants a Frank Sinatra CD for Christmas so I think..."sounds easy enough." Too many CD's to guess with so I thought I'd ask. She wants a best of type compilation, I want a good recording. Also, please recommend a few regular issue CD's (not best of) of his which I can look for later as well.
Thanks,
MaxCast

One that I have, and was on the Stereophile recommended list, is the "Frank Sinatra Reprise". It's a pretty popular cd, so they are readily available. Also, I've bought some Sinatra cd's off Ebay and from Music Direct. I've bought quite a few Sinatra cd's, my wife is a BIG fan.

The Capitol years (1950's) represent some of Frank's best work and when he actively sought to record definitive versions of his catalog. In this vein, try the following compilation, "Classic Sinatra, Great Performances 1953 to 1960" (released in 2000). Two other Capitol recordings to consider are "In the Wee Small Hours of the Morning" and "Songs for Swinging Lovers." For a sampling of his work with Reprise (1960's - on), try "September of My Years" and "Sinatra at the Sands." Good listening. Rich
