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,

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
A wonderful retrospective is Sinatra on Capital, although it is better to listen to an entire regular issue cd because Frank recorded in themes while on Capital. For a single cd you have to get "SONGS FOR SWINGIN' LOVERS". also Sinatra at the sands is a great live cd ( you get the count basie orch.). But for an intro go with the retrospecitive.
Thank you very much for your recommendations, guys. I will be checking them out and placing some orders.
Happy Thanksgiving,
