I Gotta Right to Sing the Blues / Boys Night Out / Cathy (orch. only)
Song #1: “I Gotta Right to Sing the Blues”
Four top choices, in three very different flavors:
•1984 Dutch DMM mono Sinatra
Sings...of Love and Things LP
(Good tone; everything congeals
nicely)
•The Capitol Years CD - stereo
remix (Clean and clear; the way
the vocal was recorded, when no
reverb is added, it sounds a little
like Frank is in a padded,
carpeted cell)
•1998 UK Sinatra Sings...of Love
and Things CD and The Works
LP - Original-mix stereo (By far
the best of the original-mix
releases -- With reverb on the
vocal, things breathe a little
better, i.e., Frank is out of his
padded cell)
Sub-par:
•N-cut mono Sinatra Sings...of Love and Things LPs
•Stereo Sinatra Sings...of Love and Things LPs
•1991 Come Swing with Me CD - edgy, hard/harsh tone
NOTES
•Track Layout:
-Left = Saxes, piano, bass, mallets
-Center = Sinatra
-Right = Brass, drums, guitar
•Significant drum leakage smears up the stereo mixes considerably.
•Sinatra’s only Capitol recording made at United in Hollywood.
•With this song, Sinatra’s contract requirements with Capitol were finally met.
•The Works is not sampled here due to technical problems with my personal copy.
