I have suggested titles here before, but this artist should come with no disagreements from anyone who loves music. Frank Sinatra, and the album I would like is Sings for Only the Lonely, Capitol ST-1053. A devastating album, if ever there was one. I mean "devastating" in the best possible sense, that it is one so chock full of emotions. It always makes me sad to listen to it, since so few records can touch people on this deep a level, both musically and sonically. "Blues in the Night" has some serious subterranean low end to it that you feel more than hear, totally missing on the crappy CD reissues. When I hear "One for my Baby...", which closes the album, I cannot help but think about the times of the 1950's when life was a whole lot simpler, and more still. Truly a record for both it's own time, and all-time, too. It would be indescribably beautiful to hear this album given the TP treatment. To be played only when you are alone, and in the dark.

This would be incredible! I have the MoFi Sinatra vinyl set, but just to have
that one album on tape....! Would such property be available at any reasonable
price though or at all?

I have the reel to reel on Capital made by Ampex . Even at 7.5 ips, it is an incredible recording. I agree, this would be a huge score for the Tape Project!!!

I have none of them ... Now you have me 'Dreaming of a white christmas".
It does seem even with the new sound 'rock n' roll' 50's was the golden age
for vocal music. What would love to hear (but unlikely) is 50's collection of music
not just one singer. I lot of top singles come to mind like 'Mr Sandman',Ebb tide,
Strangers in the night. Oh back to Bing. I would them love cause modern media
seems to botch the music.I forgot we all know that
PS.I'm a fan of 'The Chordettes' here. The CD's don't seem to do justice to
peoples voices or cymbals, I am now hearing correctly. The song 'A girls work is never done', is cute; you would never hear a song like that made today.
