France's ever-resourceful Cabu label presents a 40-track anthology of great recordings made by Frank Sinatra between 1950 and 1955. During this time period, Sinatra was rebounding from self-inflicted bad publicity and making efforts to reinvent himself by perfecting both his signature sound and public image. Some of this material fits the patented Sinatra mold of punchy mannerism; he is perhaps at his most effective and approachable when performing gorgeous melodies like Cole Porter's "What Is This Thing Called Love?" Regarding the cover art: although Cabu's cartoonists sometimes conjure caricatures that are inaccurate or disrespectful, this over-the-top doodle portrait accurately conveys the contrived cockiness and sleazy substratum that has caused discomfiture or even alienation among those who cannot disconnect this singer's most unpleasant real life attributes (misogyny, mob connections, hormonal aggression and hubris) from the Technicolor alternate universe depicted in his recordings. In other words: this drawing is very funny and entirely outrageous, but in many ways Sinatra deserved it. ~ arwulf arwulf, All Music Guide
