The Voice of Frank Sinatra - Columbia C112 - 78 rpm - 4 Record Set
Orchestra under the direction of Axel Stordahl
'The Voice of Frank Sinatra is the first studio album by American singer Frank Sinatra, released on Columbia Records, catalogue C-112, March 4, 1946. It was first issued as a set of four 78 rpm records totaling eight songs, and went to #1 on the fledgling Billboard chart. It stayed at the top for seven weeks in 1946, spending a total of eighteen weeks on the charts. The album chart consisted of just a Top Five until August 1948.
The tracks were arranged and conducted by Axel Stordahl and his orchestra, on both dates consisting of a string quartet and four-piece rhythm section, augmented by flutist John Mayhew in July, and, ironically given the part he would play with Sinatra at Columbia in the early 1950s, oboist Mitch Miller in December. Sinatra would record most of these songs again at later stages in his career.
Eight songs noted below. Cover shows wear and usage. The actual records show some usage but no major scratches, breaks, chips, etc. except on the two recordings noted below. They could use cleaning but I’ll leave that to the collector.
You are looking at a listing for an item that is in excess of 65 years old. Surface noise and signs of antiquity, either visually or on playback are to be expected.
