Rating: - Great Collection Of A Forgotten Era
The name Frank Sinatra is synonymous with with Jazz, Swing and Orchestral sound of music. He had an unmatched vocal talent and his music will always be viewed as legendary. It's hard to believe it's just over 10 years since we unfortunately lost this musical great. The Platinum collection compiles all of his classic greats that anyone and everyone would recognise instantly. His music wasn't made in the same way as todays standards.

I have been listening to Sinatra for about 50 years and I still LISTEN to him and I still occasionally find something new in the way he treats a song. I saw him in concert four times!

The best Frank collection ever. They're all here - "I've got you under my skin", "Chicago", "It was just one of those things".
How Capitol managed to get the best from Frank at a time when his career appeared to be over is one of popular musics great stories.
The absolute and essential definitve Frank Sinatra collection.
Rating: - The Best Sinatra Album Ever
If you could collect sinatra's best works and put them in an album, you'd end up with the platinum collection. I can't stress enough how good this album is. Can't stop listening (and singing along) to it regardless of how many times I hear it. A must have for all sinatra fans.
