Hier der offizielle Pressetext. Sinatras Wirken bei Capitol "von 1953 bis 1960"(!sic) wird immerhin mit einem knappen Absatz auch gewürdigt. (Als ob FS 1961 keine Alben mehr für Capitol aufgenommen hätte??? Und zwar nichtmal die schlechtesten???)
Auch ansonsten... einfach nur traurig.

Previously Unreleased Willie Nelson Duet of 'My Way'

Capitol/EMI Music Catalog Marketing press release, October 25, 2005
HOLLYWOOD, Calif., Oct. 25 -- December 12, 2005 marks the
90th anniversary of Frank Sinatra's birth. Combined, Frank Sinatra's final
studio albums, the immensely popular all-star collaborations "Duets" and
"Duets II," have sold more than four million units in the U.S. since their
original 1993 and 1994 release. On November 22, Capitol/EMI Music Catalog
Marketing presents "Frank Sinatra -- Duets and Duets II: 90th Birthday Limited
Collector's Edition," a new 2-CD commemorative package with both original
Duets albums, plus a previously unreleased version of "My Way," as sung by
Willie Nelson and Sinatra.
Regarded by many as the greatest popular singer of the 20th Century, Frank
Sinatra's dynamic entertainment career spanned an unparalleled seven decades,
and he became a household name around the world, also known as "Ol' Blue Eyes"
and "The Chairman of the Board." From 1953 to 1960, Sinatra recorded more
than 17 albums for Capitol Records. During Sinatra's years with Capitol, he
pioneered and perfected the idea of the "concept album" by recording and
sequencing songs on his LPs to strike and complete a specific mood.
In 1956, Frank Sinatra was the first artist to record in the newly-built
Capitol Studios at Hollywood & Vine in Los Angeles. In June and July 1993,
Sinatra returned to his Capitol Records' Studio A home to record "Duets," his
first new album in more than nine years. He was joined by many of the world's
most popular contemporary recording artists for what was referred to as "The
Recording Event of The Decade." Artists including Charles Aznavour, Anita
Baker, Tony Bennett, Bono, Natalie Cole, Gloria Estefan, Aretha Franklin,
Kenny G, Julio Iglesias, Liza Minnelli, Carly Simon, Barbra Streisand, and
Luther Vandross were paired with Sinatra for an album of standards, including
many songs instantly associated with the Chairman of the Board.
"Duets II," released in 1994, followed global sales of more than five
million units and worldwide critical and popular acclaim for "Duets." "Duets
II" presented a musical extravaganza of the best international rock, jazz,
pop, and country artists singing with Frank Sinatra. Jimmy Buffett, Neil
Diamond, Lena Home, Chrissie Hynde, Antonio Carlos Jobim, Patti LaBelle, Steve
Lawrence & Eydie Gorme, Luis Miguel, Lorrie Morgan, Willie Nelson, Linda
Ronstadt, Jon Secada, Frank Sinatra, Jr., and Stevie Wonder & Gladys Knight
collaborated on creative new interpretations of songs, lyrics and arrangements
that had been associated with Frank Sinatra throughout his extraordinary
career.
For the recording of "Duets" and "Duets II," Sinatra and his collaborators
were accompanied by a 54-piece orchestra. The albums' Musical Director and
Conductor was Patrick Williams, one of the music and film industries' most
acclaimed conductors. Both albums also feature the work of another great
talent, the world-renowned artist LeRoy Neiman. The albums' original covers
display Neiman's specially commissioned paintings of Frank Sinatra, both of
which are included in "Duets -- 90th Birthday Edition."
From his first recording sessions in the 1930s until his death in May
1998, Frank Sinatra earned global acclaim as a recording artist and conductor,
film producer, director and actor, and radio and television personality.
Sinatra's impact on American culture endures to this day, reflected not only
in the new music and countless young artists he's inspired, but also as an
icon of timeless suave cool.
