![]() Look at the pretty trees, which I might add don't seem especially fall-like. (Talk about autumnal.) Also, can someone please tell me what "first nighting" is?Ĭloser to home, there's George Strait's "Chill of an Early Fall," the title track to his 1991 album. pop singer Jo Stafford, who passed away earlier this year at age 90. Let's start with George Duke's beautiful 1934 ballad "Autumn In New York," as sung by U.S. Googling "songs about autumn" - to see what kind of playlist I could come up with to mark the change of season. I thought I'd do a little research - i.e. Rocks Off can also already feel himself growing more introspective and reflectory, so it must be getting toward fall, and indeed the autumnal equinox was yesterday. This is the way Sinatra would have wanted it and it does sound so well assembled.This afternoon, as Rocks Off was editing an article for next week's print edition, I realized it will be October when the issue hits the stands next week. I think LoVerde did a great job in keeping Sinatra's voice mixed well with Jenkins and his orchestra. ![]() Rob LoVerde at Mobile Fidelity Sound Labs has pulled off a little sonic magic on this SACD release! Sinatra's voice is less differentiated than the great Nat King Cole AP SACD's and his voice in contrast is closer to the orchestra. Yup the sound of this MOFI SACD is uely a beautiful disc! From the opening soft orchestral vibes of "Where Are You?" to the heart ripping "baby wont you please come home" Sinatra never sounded so clear and rich. The music is rich in texture and full of deep regret and longing.your heart will break listening to this album.Īnd now as for the needs baby!!!!!! This was the FIRST album that Sinatra recorded with Gordon Jenkins and his orchestra and gave the world a little first glimpse into what was still to come! I should probably tell you that I grew up in a house that played Sinatra all the time and hearing his voice again this clear harkens me back to my childhood and a place that was part Frank! In all it's MONO-BEAUTY, Sinatra's "Where Are You?" is an album that verges on perfection! An album that is filled with that incredible creative Sinatra - lonely romanticism that only he can pull off. What an amazing album.what an amazing voice ! Review by progboy Febru(7 of 7 found this review helpful) Some day this is going to be fetching $100+ as an OOP. ![]() 10 out of 10 for fidelity on the vocals, and a 9 for the orchestra which only once or twice get pushed just slightly beyond the sweet spot. If you’ve heard those, you know just how high the bar has been raised. Sonically, this first Sinatra release is just as pure as the fantastic “Ella and Louis” Analog Productions SACD, and even rivals the crystal clear vocal clarity of the recently released, “Nat King Cole, Love Is The Thing” AP SACD. Sinatra’s velvety voice simply jumps out of the speakers.įor comparison, this is miles ahead of the 1957, “Here’s Little Richard”, MOFI disc that I just purchased. Everything is just wonderful! The mono is evenly distributed, the recording levels are perfect, allowing for heavy handed-ness on the on the volume nob. These 1957 master tapes must have been kept in an air-tight, hyperbolic chamber simply pristine sonics.įrom the first few bars of track 1, “Where are You”, I knew this was going to be everything that I had hoped for. The first Sinatra MOFI disc to be released on SACD, and is it ever magnificent.
