London 3CD/DVD Box Set

LONDON, a deluxe 3-CD/DVD collection, presents the remastered original studio album, Great Songs From Great Britain – the only album Sinatra ever recorded outside of the U.S. - with a treasure trove of other London highlights from Sinatra's career. The expansive set's more than 50 previously unreleased recordings include session material from the album, a 1962 BBC 'Light Programme' radio special with introductions to each song by Sinatra himself, a 1953 live session for BBC Radio's 'The Show Band Show,' and a Royal Albert Hall concert from 1984. The collection's DVD features a previously unreleased filmed 1962 concert from Royal Festival Hall, plus a 1970 concert appearance from the same venue with a never before released performance of the classic song "A Foggy Day." The sleek, book-style set includes a 60-page booklet with a new essay by producer, filmmaker, songwriter, music publisher, and author, Ken Barnes, who attended the Great Songs From Great Britain sessions, the album's original liner notes, newly-written track notes, details about Sinatra's many visits to the U.K., and several photos of Sinatra in London: onstage, in the studio, and about town. The new collection also includes two exclusive art print reproductions of original London concert posters and a unique studio panorama from the 1962 recording sessions for Great Songs From Great Britain.
