Frank Sinatra: My Way

Frank Sinatra, MY WAY Reissue (Concord Records)
Concord’s reissue of this 1969 set is a mixed bag of (then) contemporary songs, sublime (“Watch What Happens”), superfluous (“Yesterday”) and silly (“Mrs. Robinson”). The iconic title track is what it is, for better or worse. Features two bonus cuts, a pompous essay by Bono (surprise) and truly hideous packaging.

For once Harlan Ellison comes off as the good guy.
