This British import set is comprised of every every single Capitol Records studio album Sinatra ever released as a singer. It lacks the two albums " Sinatra Conducts Tone Poems of Color" and "Sinatra Conducts The Music of Alec Wilder" which are rather obscure non-vocal recordings wherein Sinatra conducts an orchestra. It also lacks two compilations from the 50's "This Is Sinatra" and "This Is Sinatra Volume 2" which you won't miss because all the cuts from those albums are in their original context on the albums from which they came or added as part of the 63 bonus tracks sprinkled across this 12 disc set. The digital masters are theorized to be from the 1998 UK released "Capitol Years" box set and they're perfect. Unlike U.S. releases Capitol/EMI UK remastered the work with an eye toward faithfully following the mix, ambiance and overall sound of the original vinyl LP's (minus the hiss and pops, etc). They did a great job. I own all of Sinatra's Capitol recordings on vinyl and, other than being sonically "cleaner" these masters are identical to my ears. Whomever did the digital mastering it is obvious it was done with immense respect for the source material. Even if you own, as I do, all of Sinatra's Capitol recordings on vinyl and/or CD you'll want this set. The U.S. CD releases have gone through at least 3 different remasterings the original CD masters are pre 1998 and sound pretty good, the two after 1998 are just awful. This set is the best CD version i've ever heard of these recordings.
