    My edition isn't listed. Purchased in 1980, it's SLCT 6106 but has a completely different label design.

      Even with surface noise this a must listen...Fourth Capitol album from Sinatra...From the moment the needle hits track one we are off swinging with Nelson Riddle's dynamic and overpowering arrangements...Up tempo or mellow, Riddle sells the music cut by cut and add the Sinatra pipes you can see why this LP was a MEGA hit and re-released over and over...Good as it gets plus...I have a personal story about the album...It was when Capitol was at 5515 Melrose in Hollywood by the wall of Paramount Studios...I worked upstairs in '69 and '70 at KHJ-TV when I was a tyke in the traffic department...Right there was where Frank stood at one time and crooned these hits...Yes, all 36 pieces were upstairs in THAT building making musical history...Cool, huh?

        Old man Irv at one of the few remaining record shops in NJ had a hard time parting with it. Great condition for an early pressing.
