Of all Sinatra's 14 albums for Capitol this is the worst- or, least best. The album art is a shocker,and Sinatra's choice of material and arranger lacks his usual judgment. He did few themed albums- the choice of material is limiting, and dogs like "Autumn in New York, "Isle of Capri" and "Blue Hawaii" are only there to fulfil the travel motif.I don't believe he ever sang those three again. His version of "Moonlight in Vermont" is bettered by his live Melbourne concert, and the "Great songs from Great Britain" has a superior "London By Night" Kipling's lovely poem "Mandalay" is butchered by Sinatra. It can be sung in mess halls by drunken soldiers, but not by cool hipsters who use slang like "cats" and "broads" for men and women. Sinatra is in great voice- I believe he never sang better than in the late fifties- but even the tempi are all over the place here. Sinatra's and May's nadir.
