CD Reviews

Unheard Sinatra
Jeff Barlow | Seattle, WA USA | 03/09/2004
(4 out of 5 stars)

"Essential Frank Sinatra is a fine collection of unreleased alternate takes, but it's hard to understand how perviously unheard tracks could be considered "essential." My guess is the Columbia vaults are finally running dry and this release is an effort to get the last of the product into the market. Still, it is a worthwhile release."
Alternate versions are still fine, but not "Essential"
R. Riis | NY | 07/30/2003
(4 out of 5 stars)

"Yet another Columbia compilation, albeit with sterling remastered sound. The twist here is that nearly all of these tracks are alternate versions instead of the familiar versions, all of which were substantial hits. There isn't a hair's breadth of difference, though, between the officially-released versions and these alternates, and in most cases the better version, however subtly so, was indeed the one chosen for contemporary release. This makes for a less-than-essential collection, despite the title and however great the performances and the material. For Sinatraphiles : 4 stars. For everyone else : 5 stars."
