Excellent collection of Sinatra's performances from his radio show "Perfectly Frank" from the years 1953 to 1955. In other words, the classic Frank years where he just made one masterpiece album after another. "Perfectly Frank" is my favorite Sinatra collection, and I suspect that it's a bootleg, but thank god for that. What makes these recordings so unique are the musicians backing Sinatra on these classic American tunes. All of them are exceptional, but it's the combination of instruments, especially the electric guitar that makes these recordings unique and extraordinary. Intimate, as radio should be - because it's voice to a listener and the selection of songs are excellent. No strings, no brass, just the magic that is Sinatra with his small combo, doing these fantastic broadcasts. Such a perfect setting. Probably not the easiest recordings to find, but very much worth the hunt.
