Amazon.co.uk Review
My Way: the Best of Frank Sinatra collects 46 tracks culled from the estimable American singer's vast back-catalogue for a remarkable two-CD set. Sinatra was one of the greatest voices of his--or any--generation, and for the most part, these songs are some of Old Blue Eyes' finest works: among the best are "Come Fly with Me", "Lady Is a Tramp" and "I Get a Kick out of You". But with such an immense and classic back-catalogue of songs to choose from, it's a shame that the compilers felt it necessary to add so much cheese: "Bad, Bad Leroy Brown" and "Mrs Robinson", for example, don't do Sinatra, the songs, or the listener any justice. Still, that's why CD players have "skip" buttons. --Robert Burrow

This is one of my favourite CDs in my collection right now. It's a refreshing change to buy an album of any kind which purely consists of great songs. What a shame it is that so many record companies are releasing albums of all kinds which are 90% filler these days.Some of Frank's greatest songs are to be found on this disc, and the recording quality is impeccable. Definitely well worth the purchase. I'd also recommend the E-O-11 Ratpack album as a good companion.

There's no doubting the quality of music that's on this Cd. The problem is so much stuff has been left off it. I agree with the main reviewer in that several tracks like Bad leroy brown etc should'nt have been included at the expense of better songs. There's many top tunes missing here..Witchcraft,Mr Success,Chicago,High Hopes,Luck be a lady..etc etc, the list goes on. That's the problem with an artist like Sinatra who's catalogue is vast, i could be wrong but i don't think anyone has actually released a definitive sinatra set?
I'm more of a fan of Sinatra's big band sound personally so if thats your bag then you might be disappointed with some of the more lighter works of Sinatra's like those arranged by nelson Riddle etc. That said it's still Sinatra and that voice shines through like a beacon from above! Most of the main tracks are all here. My Way,new york new york,You make me feel so young,I've got you under my skin etc..all complete and utter classics. please note though that a couple of tracks are from later recordings and in the case of the lady is a tramp it is a live version that features not the original superior studio version. Some of Sinatra's live recordings though are better than the originals.
the sound quality is fair but not outstanding. It's not nearly as well remastered as Sinatra's At the sands CD for instance.
As an introductory CD to Sinatra this accomplishes that task with the majority of the classics all present but i'd advise you to delve deeper into his catalogue as so many great songs are not here.
