December 2015 saw the 100th anniversary of the birth of Frank Sinatra, and Acrobat is celebrated the special occasion by releasing two products which encompass his best-known and most successful recordings from the early decades of his career. This great-value 139-track 6-CD set comprises every record released by Frank which made an appearance in the US Billboard charts or the UK chart, from the start of his solo career in 1943 through to 1962. It traces the course of the most tumultuous era of his career, as he became one of the great teen idols of the post-war years, before sliding into the doldrums, and then re-established himself with classic film roles and landmark hits in the early 50s, moving into superstar status in mid-decade with his famous concept albums, high profile movie hits and legendary collaborations with Nelson Riddle and Billy May. It includes No. 1s like Oh! What It Seemed To Be, Five Minutes More, Mamselle and Learnin' The Blues and classic favourites such as All The Way, Chicago, High Hopes, Love And Marriage, Ill Be Seeing You, Three Coins In The Fountain and Its Nice To Go Travlin'. Its a feast of top class entertainment and a worthy way to commemorate the centenary of one of the greatest entertainers of all time.
