FRANK SINATRA
THE VOICE OF FRANK SINATRA

The Voice of Frank Sinatra is the first studio album by Frank Sinatra, released in 1946. It was released on Columbia Records, Set C-112, on the 4th March 1946. It was first issued as a set of four 78-rpm records totaling eight songs, and went to number 1 on the Billboard chart. It stayed at the top for seven weeks in 1946, spending a total of eighteen weeks on the charts. The album chart consisted of just a Top Five until August 1948. It also holds the distinction of being the first pop album catalogue item at 33⅓ rpm, when Columbia premiered long-playing vinyl records in 1948, ten-inch and twelve-inch format for classical music, ten-inch only for pop. The Voice was reissued as a 10” LP, catalogue number CL 6001 in 1948. It was also later issued as two 45 rpm EPs in 1952, a 12” LP with a changed running order including only five of the original tracks in 1955. This is not any ordinary release. Each original track has been re-mastered and enhanced to give clarity and give the audience the best possible sound as if Nat ‘King’ Cole was sitting in the same room. Presented on black ‘vinyl’ CD and packaged with a twelve-page booklet that contains a 1,200 words sleeve notes and variety of original pictures throughout. This is the complete original album and is packaged with quality in mind with an o card slipcase. This is an original release that every collector should not miss out on.
