Also he throws in several one-liners that are priceless, like the one pointedly aimed at some hapless guy who is trying to make his way discreetly to the rest-room. Frank is perfectly in his element and comes across as very approachable and personable while he recalls some of the jobs he took to please his dad who advised him to "get a proper job". I have played the monologue to friends who could not picture Frank Sinatra as such an amusing raconteur, and we invariably end up in stitches and wishing there was more of this intimate discourse. As for the singing, Frank is in great form and this recording successfully conveys all the atmosphere and excitement of a live Sinatra performance. The Count Basie Orchestra, arranged and conducted by the peerless Quincy Jones, are a powerhouse and absolutely perfect for this swinging, rat-pack era set of songs, and the live recording only makes this album more immediate and endearing. The sound quality, derived from the original mono tapes, is excellent and makes you feel like you are right there in the room. For those who don't appreciate the banter, keep in mind that this is a double LP featuring a generous collection of some of the most beautiful classic American songs of the era and Frank sings them beautifully. This is a ring-a-ding-ding collection. Review: The perfect live album - I loved this album when as a teenager my parents had it new in the mid sixties, and although I have owned the CD for some time I have only just come across this wonderful re-issue. And what a find it is. Firstly the quality of the vinyl is simply superb, and if you own a decent turntable you will be transported back to Las Vegas in the sixties: the background hubbub of a plainly excited crowd together with a real feel for the acoustic of the room. A testament to the quality of the pressing this is how vinyl should be manufactured but infrequently is. Most importantly, the music: Sinatra is in wonderful form, and although at 50 years old his voice sometimes lacks the power of his youth he more than makes up for it with his exquisite phrasing and intonation. Almost every song here is a standard, including those which were new at the time but have since become classics. He revels in the atmosphere and the adulation of a packed house, which together bring out the best in him. However, for me the real star of the show is the wonderful Count Basie orchestra: the sound ranges from a single raindrop to a violent hurricane and all points in between. At one point Sinatra introduces an instrumental section with the words "Run for cover! Run and Hide!" such is the overwhelming weight and power of the orchestra. You simply don't hear big bands like this any more and the album is worth the money just for the instrumental sections alone. The finest album I have bought for years and a bargain at almost any price. 5 stars: nowhere near enough! ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B002N9MK8G | | Best Sellers Rank | 14,457 in CDs & Vinyl ( See Top 100 in CDs & Vinyl ) 61 in Swing Jazz 139 in Vocal Jazz 177 in Traditional & Vocal Pop | | Country of origin | Germany | | Customer reviews | 4.7 4.7 out of 5 stars (1,730) | | Is discontinued by manufacturer | No | | Item model number | 1564475 | | Label | UMC | | Manufacturer | UMC | | Number of discs | 1 | | Product Dimensions | 12.4 x 14.3 x 0.99 cm; 102.06 g | | SPARS Code | DDD | ## Images ![Sinatra At The Sands - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71b9XgAOYAL.jpg) ![Sinatra At The Sands - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/41j3jl9f06L.jpg) ![Sinatra At The Sands - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/31mSZxoNSyL.jpg) ![Sinatra At The Sands - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/41V4Fo-4A6L.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Sinatra in your living room *by B***N on 29 June 2012* This is probably my favourite Frank Sinatra album and for a variety of reasons, not least of which is the humour, yes, humour, because the monologue where Frank recounts some anecdotes of his penniless youth would do credit to a professional stand-up comedian (although it does help to know a bit of his life history to appreciate the in-jokes).
