Audiophile Sinatra

[Gary Eickmeier]

I bought a Sinatra CD for the fancy red cover, thinking that it would have
the best audio quality. It was not. It seemed to be highly compressed, poor
soundstaging, What is the best sounding Sinatra album?

Thanks,

Gary Eickmeier

his 80th anniversary disc sounded decent to me. technically speaking, one w=
ould have to go back to the 50s mono stuff he did to get the purest sound. =
when they started doing the multi-track stuff in the late 60s they "fixed t=
hings in the mix" which more often than not made things somewhat dense/opaq=
ue-sounding, at least to my ears.

Interesting - Sinatra was a rare talent and a wretched human being. So sad that his personality did not match his talent.

it has been my experience, that there is no greatness [talent] unsullied by at least a tincture of madness. nevertheless, there were times that Sinatra did do kind things for strangers.

I dunno.

Did he record any instrumental albums without vocals?

I just found in my own collection "Old Blue Eyes is Back," his comeback
after retirement. This was a very sophisticated, adults only album with some
pretty good sonics. So maybe anything more recently recorded than the 50s
and 60s schtick would have fine sound.

And maybe Sinatra at the Sands with Count Basie.
