Product Details
Recorded in 1969 and featuring a mix of rock covers and standards, My Way showcased what would become Frank Sinatra's signature song. Creating a middle ground between the traditional pop Sinatra loved and the contemporary pop/rock that dominated the charts in the late 1960s, this is the album that showed Sinatra's timeless artistry could encompass all music. Out of print for over a decade, My Way is now reintroduced to celebrate its 40th Anniversary with two special bonus tracks along with liner notes from U2's Bono.
Product Reviews
 (5 stars) - The Best of the Best
This particular recording of Sinatra is the best ever recorded by him in a studio. The sound of his voice is raw and powerful. It sounds like he's singing in front of you in the studio. I'm a Beatles fan from way back..but let me say this..Sinatra sings Paul's beautiful ballad song "Yesterday" better. It sounds like Sinatra's original! And "Didn't We"..how beautiful. And "My Way"..no other recording from Albums,Cassettes,or CD's sounds like this one. The other recordings sound like copies but this one sounds like the original master piece. If you want to hear Sinatra at his best,this is the CD.
(5 stars) - Frank's My Way
I have been a Sinatra fan for all of my adult life. Getting unreleased songs are like finding gold!
 (1 stars) - Embarrassing rubbish that Sinatra hated
It is a terrible irony that "My Way" came to be inextricably linked to Sinatra and vice-versa. As an artist of good taste, he loathed the song, but as someone who wanted to sell records and be played on the radio, he compromised with the poor taste of the era in which he recorded this album. Skip it: get "In The Wee Small Hours," "Songs for Swingin' Lovers," or any of the other great 1950s Capitol albums. Make Frank smile in his grave instead of wince.
(5 stars) - Stunning remastering
If you have ANY of the previous issues of My Way, including the remastered track on the cd "Nothing But The Best", it doesn't matter, this issue is the one to buy. The My Way track on "Nothing But The Best" was a VAST improvement over all the previous issues of My Way. Indeed, when I heard it, I couldn't believe how much better it sounded. So when I bought the 40th Anniversary issue, I compared it to the original cd issue, the 1990 issue on "The Reprise Collection", and the 1995 issue on "The Complete Reprise Recordings. This latest remastering trumped every previous issue. So the only one left was the 2008 issue on "Nothing But The Best". So what did I find? The 40th Anniversary issue was even better! Almost hard to believe, but it's true. The 40th Anniversary issue has a sense of warmth and presence that is even better than the one on the "Nothing But The Best" issue. That one still sounds good but seems colder and has a touch more reverberation. The surprise on this issue was "A Day In The Life Of A Fool". For decades, Warner has issued it with the first 3 seconds missing. Imagine my suprise to hear the drum introduction first, then have the bass and piano enter. This has never been issued with the drum intro. The new remastering gives the band a startling presence that is sorely lacking on the original issue. Indeed, I was hearing instrumentations that was buried on the master tapes that are now heard in clarity. On the original issue, Frank sounds so far away and echoey on "Watch What Happens". Not so on the new one. Frank sounds like he's in the room with you. The difference is day and night. So do yourself a favor and put your original issue in your car, or give it to a friend. If you collect Frank, the incredible remastering job on this cd will have you playing it over and over again.
(5 stars) - Great remaster, a worthy update
This has only been on CD once before, so no, it has not been 'repackaged in so many ways', in fact, it was long overdue for a remaster as all of Frank Sinatra Reprise albums are. Here is a fan hoping this is just the beginning of a thorough campaign to re-release all his Reprise albums in great package with updated liner notes (from Bono this time!!!) great remastered sound and bonus tracks.
The Sinatra family and Concord got it right. Keep up the good work folks!
