FRANK SINATRA “A MAN AND HIS MUSIC” Original SEALED STEREO LP (1965 REPRISE 2FS-1016). Superb Collectible Condition!! Extremely Rare Limited Edition “Special Box Set” issued in a Blue slipcase with embossed silver front cover and 24-page booklet. The slipcase is in pristine condition (NrMT+) and looks like it was just purchased yesterday with absolutely No ring wear and No seam splits! Ever so slight, barely noticible corner wear is the only minor flaw, and is mentioned for accuracy. The embossed silver front is in immaculate condition with No cracks, No scrapes or scratches, No pinholes or loss of paint, or any other flaws. The 24-page booklet is also in NrMT+ condition and contains many vintage photographs. It also details Frank Sinatra’s career and lists the titles of all the songs he recorded on the Capitol and Reprise labels to that point (1965), along with the recording date and the album it was located.

Super clean gatefold cover (NrMT+ to MINT) retains its full original gloss beneath the original shrink wrap and displays sharp, vivid colors with absolutely No ring wear, No seam splits, cut out marks, bar codes, or discount holes, and the album contains two MINT, never played vinyl records!! Overall, a pristine “sealed” copy of this 40 year-old Frank Sinatra release with a total of 32 wonderful tracks including “Put Your Dreams Away”, “All or Nothing At All”, “I’ll Never Smile Again”, “There Are Such Things”, “I’ll Be Seeing You”, “The One I Love Belongs To Somebody Else”, “Polka Dots and Moonbeams”, “Night and Day”, “Oh, What It Seemed To Be”, “Soliloquy”, “Nancy”, “The House I Live In”, “From Here To Eternity”, “Come Fly With Me”, “How Little We Know”, “Learnin’ The Blues”, “In The Wee Small Hours of The Morning”, “Young At Heart”, “Witchcraft”, “All The Way”, “Love and Marriage”, “I’ve Got You Under My Skin”, “Ring-A-Ding Ding”, “The Second Time Around”, “The Summit (comedy routine with Dean Martin & Sammy Davis Jr)”, “The Oldest Established (Permanent Floating Crap Game)”, “Luck Be A Lady”, “Call Me Irresponsible”, “Fly Me To The Moon”, “Softly, As I Leave You”, “My Kind Of Town”, and “The September Of My Years”!!

Unless you can find one completely sealed, this is by far the cleanest copy of this obscure, rarely offered Limited Edition “Special Box Set” you can possibly hope to find, and the double album is still sealed! This unique package would make a wonderful addition to an advanced Frank Sinatra collection. A similar, yet far inferior copy of this box set with significant cover flaws (small holes in embossed lettering, tape on three areas of the slipcase) and VG+ vinyl, sold last week on eBay for $103.49 . This pristine copy is virtually un-improvable and can be added to your collection at a reasonable price using “But it Now”!!
