Sinatra question

Grant, I just ordered your recommendation on Ebay. I'll let you know. I wonder how it is different than vegasears? will let you know? Yours is a 2 disc and his a 4. Could one be more comprehensive of the time?

According to the liner notes from this three disc vinyl collection I'm holding Sinatra parted ways with Harry James in late 39 and did some sessions with Tommy Dorsey. These sessions were recorded from Feb. 1940 to July 1942 and are called the The Tommy Dorsey/Frank Sinatra Sessions. I don't know if it is available on CD or the sound quality because my set is still sealed. It does say they used the Original masters for the set but on some hard to track down songs they just used copies of 78's from collectors. Hope this helps you out.

it wasn't until sinatra joined capitol records, that he was able to have a say in what and how he recorded. capitol records was the first 'artist label. he later founded reprise with the same m.o.........all sinatra stuff is great, but '60 to '70....thats the real deal

Some changes here,Sinatra parted with Harry James in late January 1940 and this set is 3 double albums for a total of 6 disc's.

Try 'Live in Paris', whatever disc that has 'From the Wee Small Hours' on it, 'Duets', and maybe "live at the Sands'. I heard 'Live From Paris' and the song, "From the Wee Small Hours" on the radio a few days ago and finally became a fan of his. It was incredible. As for the other two, it was a recommnedation from the DJ so I can't vouch for the quality of the recording.
