I agree with @rankaudio here. I received my copy yesterday, just played side one. It is soooo great sounding, and unlike some here I love the song selections. It is so very full, with the great Nelson Riddle orchestration/conducting. Hard to imagine how great it is without listening. Definitely worth the cost. And quiet surface.
Tone Poet Sinatra in the wee small hours...is it that good?
I listened to my new Tone Poet Sinatra 'in the wee small hours' today. I was expecting a truly amazing SQ with all of the press and accolades this new release has received.
While I think it is a nice listen, and Frank's voice is portrayed well, it really is not an album that I see myself playing that much. Mainly because the music is so....tepid.
Maybe I'm just not that big a fan of crooners, and Frank was the best of them. But, also because the album is a typical mono release, very little in the way of separation of instruments, not much real bottom end punch and a highlighting of Frank's voice, that in some ways seems a little unnatural to me even though it is certainly dead center. Thoughts?
