THE COLUMBIA YEARS: The Complete Recordings 12cd Box Set 1993
![]() COLUMBIA/LEGACY 12 CD BoxSet with individual disc artwork & 144p book. On release the set boasted 28 previously unreleased tracks, with many alternate versions and represents the singer's complete recordings with the label. COLUMBIA/LEGACY continues to release Sinatra material on a regular basis, with most new releases featuring alternate takes of material found on this set. For a complete titles listing - and tracklist links - go to: http://legacyrecordings.com/artists/ then use Catalog Search / Sinatra COLUMBIA RECORDS released 6 FRANK SINATRA albums of 4 packaged 10" 78rpm shellac recordings during the singer's tenure with the company.

There Are No Words
I've been involved in enough range wars here to be wary of controversy; but let me go on record: this is the finest work in the Sinatra canon. Okay, the Capitol years may represent the full flowering of the magnificence that was Sinatra, and the Dorsey and James recordings speak to the promise that was never to be broken. But here we have the still ginger peachy sweety with the youthful exhuberance of Clarence Doolittle and Danny Miller, but with the beginnings of the full throated baritone emerging as we go from volume one to volume twelve.
The music is classic Sinatra,destined to be repeated often, and each time with a different nuance. To me, this is the essece of a great pop tune. It can be bluesey, it can swing, it can be jazzed or romanticised; and nobody was more versatile than Frank. Just listening, (I'm on Volume 6 - ALWAYS) makes my heart fill with a touch of that youthful lightness of spirit. God! How I love this boxed set! And God! How I love this voice! The romantic in me is still swooning; but the practical me is overwhelmed by the wonderful packaging. Most sets are cumberson and difficult to handle; but this one is perfect. Most of the time the box is standing vertically, but when in use I just lay it flat and pull out a CD - no trouble and so far never a broken nail. This is truly heaven - Sinatra just a few mini-moments before he peaked!

The Big Blue Box
I couldn't agree with you more BobbySoxer...this set is perhaps the best box set that any American company has produced. I play discs from this set much more than I do from the Sinatra Reprise suitcase.
This best represents the Great American Songbook at its best, and a singer at his best. (Even the "worst" isn't all that terribly bad...)The purity of his voice can be compared to the purity of a mountain spring. A lot of love and dedication went into this set. Mr. Granata and the others should consider this one of the proudest moments of their careers. Worth every penny. |

I have this box set plus the 4-cd set I got before the 12 cd set. I think Nancy wrote in the 4 cd set booklet that the Columbia years were her favorite. I prefer the swing, however. None-the-less, the Columbia years took Sinatra from high to low, and his collaboration with the infamous Mitch Miller may have been a blessing in disguise, considering his move to a then reluctant Capitol and developing a relationship with Nelson Riddle.

BobbySoxer,
you nailed it. The Columbia 12 CD box is beautifully done. It could not be better. The same is true of the RCA box.
If the people who programmed and designed the Reprise 20 CD box had done 1% as good a job as the RCA and Columbia people, the poorly programmed discs in their unattractive jewel cases might get played more often and the ugly, cheap, falling apart box would not have to be hidden from view. Did the people who put this mess together secretly hate Frank Sinatra? The accompanying book, however, is good. Ed S. |

Beautiful, Bobbysoxer!
Somehow, I just KNEW you'd rise to the occasion when it came to FS' wonderful Columbia recordings!
(Edwin: I'm sort of partial to the no-nonsense packaging & programming on the ever-controversial 20 CD Reprise set, while I could live without most of the waffling in that silly book. But the pix are good... Vive la difference...maybe one day someone here will actually have no strong feelings whatsoever about the set, but I'm not holding my breath!)

The Reprise suitcase at first looks good, and for a Sinatra completist is what the doctor ordered (minus some unreleased songs attempted and so on...). But yes, the way the cds were created by just in essence filling up 20 cds by order of song recorded date (Trilogy-The Future being an exception) is difficult to bear in some cases, particularly the sound quality on some takes. The Capitol years are, simply put, a mess for completists because you have to either choose between the sound-superior European EMI "Sinatra-The Capitol Years" black box cd set and the what-I-heard-inferior "Concepts" set, supplemented in both cases by the nice 4 cd singles collection.
The Columbia set is definitive, period. The RCA set is definitive, period. With the exception of the V-Discs to complement the Columbia years basically you have a well-structured flow, also in order of recording date, but easier on the ear and nice cd presentation with pictures of the original Sinatra album covers. Will Friedwald, like for the Tommy Dorsey set, goes through each session and describes the mood or situation present, often through first hand accounts. Although I like Stan Cornyn's wit and enjoy very much his liner notes, Will is badly needed in the otherwise good Reprise set accompanying book.

As with the Columbia 12 CD box (which is really outstanding, I can only echo the earlier sentiments, as far as music quality is concerned), the present new "Essential Sinatra" release has some errors regarding what is marked as "alternate take" and/or "previously unreleased". Should I post the info here, or will you be doing separate threads for the new Columbia albums (which I would prefer to avoid confusion)? Please advise, Rick.

classics
i love this set. it has many favourites frank never did again. and many he would do until the 90s!
i have loved "blue skies" and "begin the beguine" ever since i first heard them 10 years ago; i also knew "where's my bess" from the V discs. now here they are very good sounding and powerful as ever. i recommend listening to "bali ha'i" from south pacific, really exotic. i was so surprised to hear him do "soliloquy"! it's not as shaped as it definitely is on Concert Sinatra, but it has the same high spirits, and even the lost verse ('when i have a daughter, i stand around in barrooms'). wonderful stuff. also listen to FS making classics out of "autumn in new york" and "guess i'll hang my tears out to dry". he would return to them 10 years later, but he already drew them on board here. oh, and there's "laura", "night and day" etc etc

duets with pearl bailey
here is an unusual 'frank' experience:
"A little learnin' is a dangerous thing", a two-segment song in a conversational form. frank and pearl bailey wander through this "jazz" ballad, and it is a joy listening to them. it's somehow similiar to the "necessity" duet with ella fitzgerald (hollywood box). i love this one, it consists of two separate lengthy songs (maybe side one and two of a single ... gotta check the book, maybe it is mentioned). they tell each other how they grew up and learned. first segment is pearl's story, with frank commenting on what she sings. next segment is frank and pearl doing the same in reverse. i never heard a story like this, it's like a miniature play, very good.

Thanks for sharing your views Steffen, must be great to discover the box for the first time as you do now... lucky you, I'd love to do that journey again, too
![]() As with the Pearl Bailey duet you mention, one of the most fascinating aspects of this box is the many "hidden gems" in contains, songs that were/are largely unknown/unheard by Sinatra otherwise. There are many many chestnuts in this set. That's what makes it so fantastic IMO. Bernhard. |

Steffen, If you check through the booklet, you'll see "A Little Learnin'..." was not only arranged and conducted by Sy Oliver, it was also written by him...and yes, it was two sides of a single. I have a 45 rpm version.

thanks for the info rick, an unusual idea for a single in my opinion. yes bernhard, i think i am about to fall across many other hidden gems
i planned to listen to the CDs in order, but then, i just listened cross ways. so i can't really tell which CD i already listened to; it will take time before i know these discs like i know the reprise discs.
