The Capitol Years (1998 Frank Sinatra album)


The Capitol Years is a 1998 box set by the American singer Frank Sinatra.
This set was originally assembled by EMI, Capitol's sister company in the United Kingdom. The set contains 21 CDs featuring every album that Sinatra authorized for release between 1953 and 1961, remastered in state-of-the-art 20-bit digital audio. Each CD contains an individual Sinatra Capitol LP, but the bonus tracks from the American versions appear on a separate CD here as The Rare Sinatra.
The sound quality on this box is arguably superior to American remasters, also produced in 1998 for eight of Sinatra's key albums in the United States.
