Music reviews of A Jolly Christmas from Frank Sinatra
Music Review: Bad sound by Bob Norberg strikes again
Rating: 1 Stars
Frank Sinatra's recordings on Capitol represent the pinnacle of American popular song. So why can't the label release the man's work as it was intended to be heard? So far Sinatra's Capitol albums have gone through two "complete" remasters - in 1987 by Larry Walsh and in 1999-2000 by Bob Norberg. The Walsh issues have their problems (Larry himself acknowledges that (a) he was given the wrong tapes to work with for most of the albums; and (b) he misinterpreted some of the reverb instructions on the tape boxes), but they are still far superior to the dead-sounding Norberg series (marketed as "Entertainer of the Century" and in the dark "Concepts" boxset).
Confusing things even further, Capitol has reprinted liner notes crediting Walsh on some of the discs that were actually mastered by Norberg, including this reissue of A Jolly Christmas. They've also changed the cover from the original so you think you're getting something "new" or "different." Sorry, but I can sacrifice hearing a 30-second Public Service Announcement in order to avoid the awful sound of a Norberg Sinatra disc.
There is good news however: The Norberg versions have never been sold in the United Kingdom, so if you know what to look for you can find some Frank that sounds reasonably good on CD. The Walsh version of A Jolly Christmas is available on two different UK CDs, both entitled "The Christmas Album". One has a white cover with a large picture of Frank wearing a fedora looking off to the side; the other has Frank looking at you with a blue snowflake background. I've seen them both new and used from US and UK Amazon, so grab one and have yourself a merry little Christmas now!
