I'm currently playing catch-up with Sinatra's sacd releases, but does anyone know if "in the wee small hours" and "Come fly with me" were ever released? Searches on the net have proved inconclusive! I'm not sure if they were released ... and sold out quickly ....or whether they were pulled from release?

Still showing as coming soon in the Music Direct catalogue.

Canceled, sadly. The last two SACDs to be released are Songs For Swingin' Lovers and A Swingin' Affair.

those apparently have been released (i hope) per my conversation with musicdirect, who told me they are in stock, and then took my money :)

These have been released so far:

Frank Sinatra: No One Cares
Frank Sinatra: Where Are You?
Frank Sinatra: Sinatra's Swingin' Session
Frank Sinatra: Point Of No Return
Frank Sinatra: Songs for Swingin' Lovers!

"A Swingin' Affair" is supposed to be out next. As Musicdirect owns MoFi, they have new items in stock before anyone else.

If, when someone gets it, the barcode of the missing disc could be sent on to me I could then list it.

Cheers, PN

Thank you to everyone that replied - much appreciated! I have ordered all the available SACDs ...plus the gold disc version of Frank Sinatra Sings For Only The Lonely.

Hopefully, there will be more SACD releases next year to coincide with his 100th birthday? Here's hoping?

My dad was born three days after Frank - on Dec. 15, 1915 - albeit on another continent. Hard to believe he (and Frank) would have been 100 years old next year!!!

Now that Universal owns the Frank Sinatra Capitol catalogue (the Sinatra family owns the Reprise masters), I suspect MoFi will have to renegotiate contracts with Universal if they are to continue releasing SACDs or, unless, Universal will perhaps start releasing some SHM~SACDs (hopefully and fingers crossed of Only The Lonely in both mono and stereo) of the Chairman's Capitol years.

The Reprise material, thus far, has seen some worthwhile but albeit RBCD remasters from the Concord Record Group but I also believe they also come under the arm of Universal, as well.

So, Frank would've been 100 next year and as far as I'm concerned he's still going strong!
