Editorial Reviews :
A great, comprehensive collection of Sinatra's most popular Reprise tracks, and worth having for any number of reasons, Very Best Of features tons of familiar hits--but requires a caveat for casual Sinatra fans. When Sinatra formed Reprise, he began to re-record many of the sides he'd released on Capitol, in an attempt to transfer his catalog to the new label. It was a smooth move, but his re-recorded versions seldom replaced the originals in the way he'd hoped. And many of the familiar songs here are Capitol remakes. It'd be a task to compare the track listing here with that of the Capitol Years set, but if you want to get serious about your Sinatra, that's the way to go. If you're just a music fan, this is a gem.
Buyer Reviews :
I read one of the previous reviews saying how depressing this double-CD compilation is, but I would have to disagree...sort of. People who really want to know Sinatra need to know his whole stylistic range. I feel that someone should be able to listen and appreciate songs like 'In the Wee Small Hours of the Morning' and 'It Was a Very Good Year' just as much as the classics 'Luck Be a Lady' and 'New York, New York'.
So, if you are looking for a consistently upbeat selection of Sinatra's songs, good luck finding it. I think that many people just don't realize what kind of feeling and intense emotion he was able instill into the more mellow ballads, and if you are willing to lend an open ear to his somewhat lesser-known works, then you'll definitely enjoy this CD. For the price, it's an excellent representation of what Sinatra really gave to the world of contemporary music.
