THE FRANK SINATRA STORY, FRANK SINATRA (CARLTON)

Released with what you can either hail as perfect timing or decry as gross insensitivity, this two-CD collection doesn't give you the whole story. Rather it focuses on a couple of Frank's mid-life chapters, from 1939 to 1953 (ie before he achieved greatness under the baton of Nelson Riddle). As a testament to Frank's masterful way with a set of lyrics, it cannot be faulted, however.
