5.0 out of 5 stars Amazing
This is an absolutely brilliant collection of live radio performances from 1942 when a very young but already masterful Frank Sinatra was singing with Tommy Dorsey's band. None of this was meant to survive past the night it was performed. Fortunately for us, these fragments got recorded, the fragile disks preserved and now, nearly 70 years later, we are treated to one...

3.0 out of 5 stars What is this?
Listening to this on pandora dot com right now - what travesty is this? It sounds like they took some decent recordings of a young Frank and added some kinda "background noise" of crowds, clinking glasses, etc, as if to make this sound like you're listening to him live?? This is a travesty. The music is fine - but the fake-background I could do without. Pass on this...

5.0 out of 5 stars Amazing, June 16, 2009
This review is from: Young Blue Eyes: The Birth of a Crooner (Audio CD)
This is an absolutely brilliant collection of live radio performances from 1942 when a very young but already masterful Frank Sinatra was singing with Tommy Dorsey's band. None of this was meant to survive past the night it was performed. Fortunately for us, these fragments got recorded, the fragile disks preserved and now, nearly 70 years later, we are treated to one of the finest examples of early Sinatra existing. Of course, those acetate disks have a lot of pop and hiss, but the engineers have done a great job at reducing that. As for the silverware and chatter in the background complained about by an earlier reviewer: that was actually part of the background at the time. These shows were recorded live at various venues where people were eating and drinking and those sounds add wonderfully to the atmosphere. I love this disk and play it over and over. Buy it while you can!
