Need a Frank Sinatra recommendation


The wife wants a Frank Sinatra CD for Christmas so I think..."sounds easy enough." Too many CD's to guess with so I thought I'd ask. She wants a best of type compilation, I want a good recording. Also, please recommend a few regular issue CD's (not best of) of his which I can look for later as well.
Thanks,

listen to chazzbo. he's dead on. SFSL and OTL are sinatra's 2 best albums; honorable mention should go to sinatra w/ basie (has pennies from heaven and others), sinatra w/ jobim, and come fly w/ me. all great albums.

but the man was in his day in the 50s w/ capitol. nothing in reprise compares.

that's not to say i don't like the reprise stuff. i'm just suggesting where to start.

and yes, for a comp album, the reprise collection or the capitol 3-disc set are just fine.

rhyno (i got about 80 sinatra discs myself)
