1/4" / 15 IPS analog mono master to analog console to lathe

Nobody does heartbreak like Frank Sinatra. Well-versed in what it means to be down-and-out, desperate, depressed, and doleful, the singer reaches profound emotional depths on Only the Lonely, a landmark 1958 concept album that remains one of Sinatra’s most legendary statements. Featuring the absolute definitive versions of time-honed standards such as the title track, “Angel Eyes,” “Spring Is Here,” and, of course, the famous “One for My Baby,” this cornerstone of the American songbook is a must-have for any music fan.

Carefully remastered from the original analog tapes, Mobile Fidelity’s GAIN 2 Ultra Analog 180-gram LP reveals all the expressive nuances, bourbon-soaked notes, and devastating nooks on an enduring record that iconic arranger Nelson Riddle cited as his favorite Sinatra work. There’s good reason for his platinum endorsement. Personally invested in each lyric, Sinatra sings words with spine-shivering intimacy and undeniable sincerity. 

Detailed, spacious, and crystal clear, the reference-caliber sonics bring the performances to light in a way never imagined. Here is irrefutable proof that Sinatra’s voice doesn’t crack, fade, waver, strain, drift, or break at any point. For the first time, MoFi invites you to hear just how persuasive, uncompromised, and utterly believable Ol’ Blue Eyes sounds—and how atmospheric the brilliantly orchestrated string and woodwind sections sound as they evoke solitary settings of empty sidewalks, smoky bars, and foggy sodium-lit nights.
