That second cover reminds of The September of My Years cover, just featuring a younger Sinatra potrait, a stunning painting!

Not got either of those Andrew, thanks for posting. I steer away from many of the budget Capitol's (remember those releases of the original albums but with different songs as titles) but these do have nice artwork.

Enter this as a sad song for sad times!

Very sad song but with this voice is beautiful...

The purpose of these album threads is to add to the discography so everything will be included and our discography will be complete - eventually. As you know it is a work in progress.
