Incidentally, Eee-Dee, Dee-Bee's words make me think I may have inadvertently neglected to pass my condolences to you back when your niece passed and, if I did, I apologize.
Of course I offer them to you and your family now, because God knows that every time I lost someone, just hearing or reading the words meant the world to me.
I think it may be the same for you.


Thank you very much. I do appreciate the kind words and it does help tremendously. It's October and Breast Cancer Awareness month. I would be doing my niece a great disservice if I didn't take this opportunity to get the word out about awareness. Going to spend part of my day doing that.

I just got the complete Dorsey/Sinatra set for cheap, about $3 per disc.

https://www.amazon.com/Song-You-Frank-Sinatra/dp/B00138H7FO/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1494469401&sr=8-1&keywords=the+song+is+you+dorsey+sinatra

It was incomplete, though, because I only got the cd's; there was no booklet.


I may (and I mean not sure) have an extra booklet from a set I was given a while back. I will dig it out and let you know.


I tremble in anticipation! smile


I'm guessing this fell through. Now I has a sad. frown


Okay David, I did the digging. What I have is not what you are looking for. I have a duplicate of the booklet that came in the Reprise Collection Box Set. It was given to me quite a while ago with a damaged copy of one of the discs - no box and the other 3 discs missing. I tossed the disc and forgot to toss the booklet. It is is very bad shape so I tossed it today. I'm sorry it wasn't what you needed. frown

I will tell you though that there are quite a few like new copies on eBay for around $20.00 with free shipping. One is make an offer. I would get one of these and then your set is complete. smile

I think it's the language we have in common that separates us. I don't know what he and Oc-man are talking about either, Ed.


It's no big thing, in fact it's really very simple!
big grin


Okay, this is probably some locker-room shenanigans that Oc-man and JP are snickering about, Ed, so maybe it's just as well they don't tell us what they're talking about. wink

Well, what I CAN tell you that very few people have ever really mastered the art of expressing emboldened thoughts whilst espousing the virtues of a certain Mr. FAS.

Nope, ive never been in a locker room.

More bold statements in a few days. wink

You are very welcome. Wish it had been the correct one. I actually checked with a friend of mine who is an avid Sinatra fan as to whether she had an extra (she scours tag sales, secondhand stores and is known to buy duplicates) but no luck. However, she did give me a duplicate copy of Sinatra duets she had, which is actually in much better shape than mine. smile

Prompted by the indecipherable Earl of Poncey, I submit the following:

really very simple! emboldened bold

So I took all the words in bold and typed them above. And they mean nothing to me.

If I take the FIRST statement with bolded text:

It's no big thing, in fact it's really very simple!

And think about it way-too-hard, I come up with:

"Someone is writing a tell-all bio about Sinatra and talks about his penis."

Which is just as I said: Locker Room Talk. big grin

Yes, you have got it spot on. Correct, A penis.

I found a complete set (discs, book, long-box) for 20 clams. Snatched it up.

Anybody want my spare discs?

11 months later, clearly nobody.

Over the past two years, I've had some lucky finds at a thrift shop that has random CDs for a dollar each:

• Christmas Songs by Sinatra (Columbia)
• A Jolly Christmas from Frank Sinatra (Capitol)
• The Sinatra Christmas Album (Reprise)
• Christmas with the Rat Pack (Capitol)
• Baby It's Cold Outside: Crooner Christmas (EMI)

• Sinatra: Taking a Chance on Love (Capitol)
• Classic Sinatra: His Great Performances 1953-1960 (Capitol)
• Ultimate Sinatra (Capitol) [I bought this as an iTunes download album]
• Frank Sinatra: Greatest Love Songs (Reprise)
• Sinatra Reprise: The Very Good Years (Reprise)
• Frank Sinatra: The Memorial Album (made in Holland, label unclear)

And I picked up various Sinatra songs from Youtube, including "Serenade in Blue" and "Don'cha Go Away Mad."

I'm no Sinatra expert, but I feel like I've assembled a respectable collection without really trying. smile

I also have The Very Best of Nancy Sinatra, a 21-song CD with fantastic sound quality. It includes the American single of "You Only Live Twice," not heard in the film.

The biggest names have got the biggest discounts, if you wait long enough. I saw the Streisand box set for 8 clams not long ago.

When I first saw the title of this thread, I initially thought it was about the Frank Sinatra 45 rpm box sets which are much sought-after by some Sinatra collectors.

Here is an example. I have a copy of this one:

Here are a few others:

The thread bump was enough to get me to spend all yesterday evening with the Columbia years.
It's a hell of an indulgence, but it's time well-spent.

Now that has inspired me to pull out a couple of sets and listen while I work this week.

Me too--it's probably my favorite FS era.
It completely takes me to another time and place.
I would almost swear I lived during that time, but I was born in 1961.
So weird, but so amazing.

I can’t believe you said that Oct. Today as I was listening and feeling almost melancholy about the simplicity’s of the lyrics of certain songs in this set, I literally wondered if I was reincarnated and had lived during this period of 1943 to 1952. I’m not a goofball but I sometimes don’t understand affinity I feel for the music of this period.
