Frank Sinatra —
No One Cares ... LP Capitol, 1959. Near Mint- ... Out Of Stock
Sinatra at his lonely best – as emphasized by the cover image, which has him sitting alone at a bar, looking sadly into his drink. The album's got backings by Gordon Jenkins, a bit more flowery than some of Nelson Riddle's, but in that sad dreamy mode that Sinatra worked with on the Wee ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

Frank Sinatra —
Only The Lonely ... LP Capitol, 1958. Very Good ... Out Of Stock

Frank Sinatra —
Point Of No Return ... LP Capitol, 1961. Very Good+ ... Out Of Stock
Sinatra's final album for Capitol – a contemplative set of tracks that reunites him with arranger Alex Stordahl, a frequent partner during the Columbia years, and an artist who's matured as much as Frank by this point, making a perfect fit for the sadder tone of the material.

A Swingin Session indeed – as Frank steps out with Nelson Riddle on one of his last great albums for Capitol!

A Swingin Affair indeed – as the album's one of our favorite ever from Frank's Capitol years!

Beautiful work from Kay Starr – a set that's still got that remarkable vocal style in place, but which also comes across with a more mature sound too – a mode that's never too emotive, but which is full of feeling – and really makes great use of that classic Starr twang!

It's time to swing, but with a classy sound throughout – very much the best mix of modes Dakota Staton brought to her key early years at Capitol Records!

Jack Teagarden sings and swings on trombone – that unique groove that was a key updating of his trad style in these later years!
