Description
SONGS FOR SWINGIN LOVERS is widely regarded as one of Sinatras landmark achievements. The album which led to Sinatra describing Riddle as the greatest arranger in the world, is featured here in its entirety along with 11 of The Voices most swinging singles from the period, all arranged and conducted by Riddle. Includes 11 Bonus Tracks.

Description
The complete album + 2 bonus tracks - pressed on limited edition 180g vinyl. Frank Sinatra and Nelson Riddle entered Capitol's KHJ Studios during four days in January 1956 to record this legendary collaboration, 'Songs for Swingin' Lovers'.
It first entered the Billboard chart on March 31, 1956. It rose to #2 in the US and remained on the chart for a total of 50 weeks. It also reached #8 in the UK, remaining on the chart for 8 weeks. Sinatra was so pleased with Riddle's work on the album that he described him as "the greatest arranger in the world".
"Arguably the vocalist's greatest swing set. Sinatra is supremely confident throughout the album, singing with authority and joy. That joy is replicated in Riddle's arrangements, which manage to rethink these standards in fresh yet reverent ways. Songs for Swingin' Lovers! never loses momentum. The great songs keep coming and the performances are all stellar, resulting in one of Sinatra's true classics." - ***** Stephen T. Erlewine, AllMusic
