I'm actually downloading your Disneyland Binaural recordings now. I'll send you a PM sooner or later. I guess I'll see you at the meet!



Fill me in with the details of the meet.

Here's the meet info. Most spaces are for vendors, but a few big tables will be reserved for hobbyists' equipment. I'll be bringing some stuff - the good stuff.

The other great live Sinatra album is the DCC Gold disc "57" Live in Concert also different songs than the Sands recording. Both are my favorite Sinatra albums because you have his personality and sense of humor plus the recordings and vocals make me feel like I am in the room hearing him which I did back in the early 80's but he was at his best on these two recordings.

That DCC Gold disc is fantastic! It's also one of my favorites but it's getting hard and harder to find at a good price.

I was thinking back on this thread and noticed that I forgot to mention the only real "audiophile" Frank Sinatra cd that was released by a non-audiophile company. Best of all, it is readily available and it's very affordable:

 

Here it is:

I had a Barnes and Noble gift card so I just ordered the Capitol Years 3 Box CD set. I hope it sounds good.

I believe that box uses the 80s/90s remasters which are considerably less objectionable than the ones done in the 2000s.

Correct and some of the songs were remastered just for that set. The sound is quite decent but not as good as The Collectors Series CD.

I got the Capitol years Box set and the sound is quite good. A very enjoyable set for Sinatra fans and well recorded with no digital noise.

That 3CD set is indeed very nice.

I put the 3CD Capital Years and the Collector Series disk on my Amazon wish list. We'll see which one I pick when I go to the pull the trigger. I wish I knew more about Japanese remasters when I lived there. I might have discovered some great finds. frown.gif smily_headphones1.gif
