Editorial Reviews and Product Descriptions

A great, comprehensive collection of Sinatra's most popular Reprise tracks, and worth having for any number of reasons, Very Best Of features tons of familiar hits--but requires a caveat for casual Sinatra fans. When Sinatra formed Reprise, he began to re-record many of the sides he'd released on Capitol, in an attempt to transfer his catalog to the new label. It was a smooth move, but his re-recorded versions seldom replaced the originals in the way he'd hoped. And many of the familiar songs here are Capitol remakes. It'd be a task to compare the track listing here with that of the Capitol Years set, but if you want to get serious about your Sinatra, that's the way to go. If you're just a music fan, this is a gem. --Gavin McNett
Customer Reviews
Sinatra 101: This is the text. - Reviewed on 2008-03-19
Given the huge body of work that Frank produced over his lifetime, when one is just getting started and has to pick just one album, CD, set, or compilation to buy, it is a daunting task. So I talked to a lot of people, read a lot, researched a lot, and ended up buying this as my first ever purchase of a "Doctor Sinatra" work. I think it was the right choice. You will find, like I did, that not quite all the songs you wanted are included in this collection, but I daresay, unless you buy some stunningly huge collection with a lot of repeat songs from different studio's recordings, your chances of doing so are slim in any event and it will set you back a couple of Caesar's Palace black chips to buy anyway. This collection is a good representation of a majority of Sinatra's work, however, and it is just fun to listen to. I recommend this to jazz fans, casual Sinatra fans, music history fans, and people who just need some Chairman of the Board to fill out their CD collection.
