Ring-a-Ding Ding! [VINYL]

The complete album + 4 bonus tracks - pressed on 180g blue vinyl. Contains new specially prepared liner notes by Penguin Guide to Jazz's writer Brian Morton and by Paris' prestigious Jazz Magazine. 'Ring-a-Ding Ding!' was Frank Sinatra's debut album on his newly formed Reprise record label after ending his contract with Columbia. Recorded in December 1960, Sinatra brought in Johnny Mandel as arranger after hearing his swinging work for Vic Damone at The Sands in Las Vegas. "This LP is vibrantly alive, a punching, shouting delight in which Sinatra belts. In some ways, it is the best LP he has ever made. There will be those who will be undecided on whether this is a jazz or pop album." - ***** DownBeat
