Customer Reviews:
Nothing But The Best September 5, 2008 William Curtis (Lancaster, PA) Bought this CD for two reasons - I've always liked Frank's music and secondly my daughter and I will be dancing to The Way You Look Tonight at her wedding on 9/13/08. That song is on this CD and we both thought it was appropriate!
Poor mastering...everything is loud, lacks dynamic contrast... August 19, 2008 Randall J. Wetmore (Wall, NJ United States) 1 out of 2 found this review helpful
I bought this with great anticipation, but I'm very disappointed. It's just loud and bombastic with Frank's voice brought up to compensate - there is very little dynamic contrast or sense of stage space or "air." Maybe this is good for car or ipod listening, but on a high-fi system it's sounds very artificial. Not recommended.
Not quite his best, but a strong Sinatra collection August 15, 2008 D. P. Bostaph (Murfreesboro, TN United States) All of the songs on this CD are Sinatra, & a darn good selection, too. But not original versions, nor the best renditions he ever performed. Some producer made a poor choice, although Frank's voice is still grand & golden. Still, I ain't complaining--all good, & welcome on the shelf.
Excellent Collection, but Where's the Stamp? August 8, 2008 McFries Although Sinatra's Reprise recordings are often too cheesy for me, this one-disc collection of Sinatra's Reprise years easily rates five stars for the historic songs and brilliant sound quality. However, the collection came without the promised first-day issue of the Sinatra stamp, despite the fact that the packaging indicated the stamp was included. A subsequent attempt to get reparation from Amazon was unsuccessful. In a nutshell, the music rates five stars, but the packaging rates a zero.
Francis July 29, 2008 Glenn Scalia (Atlantic City) What can I say about Frank that we all don't already know? Great collection of greatest hits!!
