MEGA Download: Sinatra: Ol' Blue Eyes May Have Left Us But He is not Forgotten

[Buzzetta]

Ten years ago on May 14th, Francis Albert Sinatra left this world after leaving an indelible mark upon it. No matter who your current favorite artist is or was, Sinatra remains the representative of the American Songbook and popular music. Frank was truly the chairman of the board in the studio as well as out of it. On May 14th 1998 Frank left us but "The Voice" should always be heard and remembered.
I wanted to fulfill a promise I made and go out with something a bit cool. By a bit cool I mean a great collection of Sinatra albums for your downloading pleasure. In these downloads you have access to a boxed set from the Reprise Years as well as quite a few of Sinatra's concept albums during the Capitol Years. Because this post has a LOT to download I will provide a link for the album as well as the wikipedia entry for that album for the tracklisting as well as the information behind it.

Enjoy and perhaps see you around August or sooner,
Buzzetta

This took a couple of hours to arrange for this post. I will check back and if this was well received I will upload four different Vegas shows from that boxed set, an additional Capitol Years two disc compilation, the Madison Square Garden Show, Christmas Albums and additional albums such as the Rat Pack in Vegas at the Sands as well as other shows.

Again, enjoy...

Thank you very much for your effort. It is enormously sweet of you. I'm a massive fan of Sinatra, mainly his 50s recordings, so I must say I already most of these albums, but I'm sure people who haven't will be very pleased. These recordings are as Sinatra-perfect as they can possibly get.

THANKS
