Brand New 2020 Stereo Mix Presented on Vinyl LP for Landmark Album's 60th Anniversary!
The 60th anniversary of Frank Sinatra's unforgettable album Nice ‘n' Easy is celebrated by Capitol/UMe and Frank Sinatra Enterprises with a brand new 2020 Stereo Mix! The LP, first released by Capitol Records in July 1960, was the latest in a series of indelible collaborations between Sinatra and arranger/conductor Nelson Riddle who Frank called "the greatest arranger in the world. I have the greatest respect for him." Nice 'n' Easy spent an aggregate of nine weeks atop the US charts, on which it spent 86 weeks In total, winning gold certification. The album was nominated for multiple Grammys, including Album of the Year, Best Male Vocal Performance and a Best Arrangement nod for Riddle.
Featuring the hit title song, "I've Got A Crush on You," "You Go to My Head," and many more classic ballad performances, songwriters Alan and Marilyn Bergman, who wrote the LP's title track with Lew Spence, remembered: "Frank would ad-lib something each time he got to the tag line. Remember, the song was new to him at the time; the last take was terrific. Frank got that tune into the American Songbook for us. Years later we wrote a second chorus that other singers recorded but, to us, Frank's version is definitive."
Wrote the New Yorker: "By curating his albums with songs that told a story he wanted to tell, and by singing each word as if he wrote it, Sinatra introduced a level of personal expression to the recording process that reached literary heights."
This 60th anniversary pressing faithfully reproduces the original Capitol Records ‘Full Dimensional Stereo' sleeve and features the original 12 songs.
