The Concert Sinatra on Reprise from 1963 (including discussion of remixed Concord CD release)*

Matt, I didn't mean to say there was or wasn't an edit, just that I don't hear the image shift after the flute solo drops out. It seems that way at first because something so prominent off to the side goes away, but everything else seems to stay put.

There could be an edit, and if it's a bit abrupt, wouldn't the difficulty in editing 35mm influence the edit not being perfect?

 

Track samples now available at Amazon:

About half of them play for me, Matt. I'd love to hear your first impressions, so keep trying!

 

I just played a few samples and if this is the real thing (which I would bet my bottom dollar on that it is NOT) we are all in for a big dissappointment. As Matt says, let's wait for the actual CD and decide.

 

yeah never judge anything by an internet stream is my policy now...

very intrigued to hear this one...

 

How is THIS for a disclaimer?

After hearing this new album I can tell you it is very different and you will either like it or you won't.

Oh god...

 

OK...all you Sirius listeners...all seven of you...

Tune in on Sunday and report back here with your reviews.

 

Because it's that great or because few are going to be able to listen to it? Thanks for relating the comment. The suspense builds...

A good policy.

 

I really love the mono mix on the album, but I’m going in with an open mind with this CD.

 

When does that "air"? I may have to go sit in the car to hear it...

 

If they went back to those three-track mags didn't they in fact by-pass the "original masters" and create a new one?

 

You'll have to sit for a long time; it's a three-hour show. Better to listen online. (You can get a free 30-day Internet trial. Requires giving Sirius a credit card number, but you can cancel before the month is up to avoid being billed.)

The Nancy For Frank show runs Sunday (5–8 pm), with repeats on Tuesday (3–6 pm) and Thursday (9 pm–midnight). Those times are Eastern; adjust accordingly for other time zones.

 

Yes, although it's been hinted, in advance of the CD release next week, that they didn't/couldn't utilize the original multitrack mags entirely. (There were three mag reels with 6 instrumental tracks plus Sinatra's vocal.)

 

Sirius is still a compressed audio listen...I think its 128k? i'm not sure, I used to subscribe but my ipod sounded better...

best not to judge this cd based on what she plays on her show...it certainly wont be "hi res"....

 

The online stream has less compression than the satellite radio feed. They seem to dole out bandwidth differently for different stations, and the Sinatra channel sounds better than 128K to me online. But yeah, it won't be CD quality. That still shouldn't prevent hearing what's different about the new mix.

 

Is that still the same? I thought I read it is the 2012 remastered version available to preorder.

I don't normally go for downloads for Frank material, I wondered if the bonus tracks would be available without purchasing the complete album... for now.

I can't see it on iTunes.
