Frank Sinatra - Sinatra Reprise- the Very Good Years @FLAC

This album spans the breadth of Frank Sinatra's work for Reprise Records, the label he founded in 1961 to further his artistic and financial freedom.

Despite the enormous success Sinatra found in his early career, it was in the early '60s that he reached a real peak in his singing. His voice and phrasing had both ripened to a rewarding maturity, and the sophisticated arrangements of Nelson Riddle and Gordon Jenkins helped Sinatra to merge saloon song with art song, thus creating some of the most richly textured, finely nuanced "pop" recordings ever made. This is an excellent primer for the uninitiated.
