Frank Sinatra, Tommy Dorsey - The Song Is You (CD 1997)

Alan Dell the late and much missed broadcaster produced the first collection of Dorsey Sinatra records in 1972. It was a boxed 6LP set with booklet. It won awards as it should have done.
In 1994 this set appeared with the same titles plus alternate takes and broadcast material. It comes with a sumptuous box with a book full of colour pictures and discographical information.

This was the Dorsey band at its peak with Buddy Rich playing beautifully, Bunny Berigan, Ziggy Elman and TD on top form. When you add the other vocalists to this package sharing the microphone with Sinatra (Jo Stafford, the Pied Pipers, Connie Haines) what more could you possibly want?

As such it is one not to miss. The transfers are top class. The songs are lovely. A joy both to the eye and the ear.
