Multicolor vinyl. This extraordinary deluxe box set features some of the rarest, most sought-after Frank Sinatra recordings in history: his elusive 'live' concert recordings and theater appearances of the 1940s and 1950s. Brimming with previously unreleased (and largely unheard) performances, the music (along with the lavish book containing world-class liner notes, rare photos, and vintage memorabilia) beautifully portrays the iconic singer at the precise moment of his ascent as one of 20th century America's greatest sensations. Included are his 1945 performance at Philadelphia Convention Hall; his three legendary Hollywood Bowl appearances of the 1940s; special radio recordings made for the Armed Forces; and a French radio broadcast of his Paramount Theater engagement with Joe Bushkin in the early 1950s. These recordings have been meticulously restored and remastered from the original recording discs by engineers Andreas Meyer and Harry Hess for superior sonic quality. Never before have these recordings been heard in such outstanding fidelity, and this handsome collection - lovingly curated - is a historically vital part of the Sinatra legacy, and is essential for any true Sinatraphile's collection.
