Includes liner notes by Will Friedwald and Mitchell Zlokower.
THE COMPLETE CAPITOL SINGLES COLLECTION was nominated for a 1997 Grammy Award for Best Album Notes.
The perfect compliment to the Capitol CONCEPTS box, this four-disc set, by its nature, supplements that box rather than overlapping with it. The bulk of the singles Sinatra recorded during his Capitol period were not included on his contemporaneous albums. Thus, many of these songs had no digital home until the release of this set. Listeners are taken further afield here, as the singles format freed Sinatra from the stricture of his theme albums, allowing him to tackle all manner of songs.
There are light-hearted tunes like "Who Wants To Be A Millionaire?" and "Can I Steal A Little Love?" and wonderful oddities like "Ol' MacDonald" (the farmhouse never swung so hard before). Naturally, there are swinging classics like "Witchcraft" and lost love laments such as "The Gal That Got Away" (though saloon singing largely gives way to peppy popcraft on these sides). If the album-based CONCEPTS is the musical mountaintop, the CAPITOL SINGLES COLLECTION is the magical mist swirling around the peak.
Digitally remastered by Bob Norberg.
Personnel includes: Frank Sinatra, Keely Smith, Bing Crosby, Celeste Holm (vocals); Axel Stordahl, Nelson Riddle, Gordon Jenkins, Johnny Green, Billy May, Felix Slatkin, Ray Anthony (conductor); June Hutton & The Pied Pipers, The Nuggets, Ralph Brewster Singers.
Compilation producer: Brad Benedict.
Q (12/96, p.161) - 5 Stars (out of 5) - "Ninety-six of Ol' Blue Eyes' greatest moments spread over four CDs...is an irresistible proposition....he moves from swinging tunes to the tenderest ballads with effortless grace, breathing life and love into every performance..."
Mojo (Publisher) (2/01, p.105) - "...Of the 96 tracks on the 4-CD box, few fall below the Plimsoll line of quality that applied to the singer's LPs during his peak Capitol era..."

 A Must Have!
This is just way too good, and these remasters are very nice. Youll find Sinatra's singles to have a quality more closely connected with the 50's at times. It makes it fun, and so many of them are really wonderful songs done by Sinatra as no one els could have.

Incredible set!
All the singles and a few bonus sides to boot! This has awesome sound and is a lot of fun to play in comparison with the concept albums-very enjoyable and yet not something that seems interrupted if you have to shut it off to go someplace, etc... Many sides have a very vintage 50's sound to them, while others are of the timeless Sinatra style. You KNOW you want this!! Grab it!!!
