In celebration of Frank Sinatra’s centennial year, Capitol/Universal Music have created Ultimate Sinatra a new career-spanning collection that brings together recordings made for Columbia, Capitol and Reprise for the first time and offers previously unreleased Sinatra recordings across all formats, the most expansive of which is a four-CD deluxe set.

The top-of-the-range four-disc collection boasts 100 tracks, for 100 years, plus a never before released bonus track. This deluxe edition also includes an additional download EP featuring four further previously unreleased recordings, redeemable via an included voucher.

The deluxe edition also features an 80-page booklet with a new essay by Sinatra historian and author Charles Pignone, as well as rare photos

Ultimate Sinatra also comes as a 2LP 180g vinyl set (24 tracks) as well as a 25-track single CD edition. Sneakily, the previously unreleased Just In Time (Alternate Version) is a digital bonus track on the 2LP and 4CD deluxe, but is included physically on the single CD, which bizarrely chooses to offer the standard version of Chicago as its digital bonus. Full track listings are below.

Ultimate Sinatra is released on 20 April 2015 (the vinyl set follows a few weeks later).

Does anyone know how to get a CD of the Los Angeles retirement concert in 1971. He sang Try a little tenderness , just with a guitarist.

Stunning.

looking online just came across a version of the Australian Ultimate Sinatra. The single disc is being bundled with a 2nd disc of a live concert recorded in Rushcutters Bay at the Sydney Stadium on the 2nd December 1961.

Are there any songs Sinatra recorded with Harry James for RCA. If so what are they?

Does anyone know if the songs on this collection have been remastered?

Paul , where did the information re the 4 track ep download come from? Not seen that referred to anywhere else – not even on the official Sinatra sites. Wasn’t part of the press release? Thanks.

Was it ? I meant.

I get why having a compilation of all Frank’s labels is an interesting release but the problem is you can buy separate individual compilations of each label for the same price as this new single disc.. Also the very good ‘Best of the Best’ is just £5 on Amazon Uk as I write this. If they want to make money and showcase the incredible Sinatra catalogue, a much better set would be a ‘hits’ and ‘rarities/unreleased’ collection, like Bob Dylan’s Biograph. Also to add insult to injury, not only are the rarities being issued as a download not on a physical disc but there doesn’t appear to be anything from Ol’ Blue Eyes Is Back!! A shame as I was looking forward to something better rather than flogging another compilation..

I can’t be the only one that gets fed up with the idea of buying a stack of songs that I already own only to find that that the unrealesed stuff is download only. Seriously, it’s almost like record companies are asking to have their releases illegally downloaded.

I don’t really like the “buy a box set and get a free download” either. Salvo did that with the instrumentals and the ‘Inside The Pleasuredome’ box set. You’re buying fresh air, as far as I’m concerned.

Totally agree. Plus I imagine the sort of people this sort of set is aimed at would probably feel much the same.

I agree with Gary! For collectors the extra’s are the only reason to buy this set. Years ago Reprise/WB did it with the complete Reprise studio recordings suitcase (which wasn’t complete at all…) The at that time 1995, never released songs could be easily pressed on let’s say two CD’s… But we had to buy us a 500,00 dollar set. And it happened time after time… and again and again… For a newly Sinatra-fan the extra’s are less interesting, when he (or she) is looking for the big hits. Capitol and UMe: It’s a shame…

(if my english isn’t totally correct, i’m sorry… i’m from The Netherlands…)

Thanks for this detailed information, Paul.
Very curious to hear the alternate orchestral version of That’s Life.
Do you know whether the bonus download EP is available in WAV quality?

It’s highly likely to be just MP3, but you never know…
