Strictly limited to 5,000 numbered copies

Impex Records is thrilled to announce the release of a very special limited edition of Frank Sinatra's historic Sing and Dance with Frank Sinatra on Impex 1STEP! This all-analog 2-LP set adds further narrative substance and sonic greatness to The Voice's first big-band jazz long-play vinyl "concept" album! Impex's 33 1/3 release was a landmark reissue, but this is a whole other level!

 

Like all Impex 1STEPs, this audiophile recording is pressed at 45-RPM on high-definition, VR-900 Supreme vinyl for incredible clarity, immediacy and a tonal depth that virtually mirrors the original monophonic master tape. Additionally, the tapes and discs we mastered from have rarely been used by other labels, delivering the original recording sessions closer than releases whose tapes have gone through mastering chains over and over. Silent, flat surfaces provide for near-perfect audio playback without distracting non-fill issues.

 

Exclusive to the Impex 1STEP edition are two previously unreleased bonus recordings and an extended version of the "It All Depends On You" Session + Take, where Sinatra capably arranges the musicians in real time!

 

The luxurious 1STEP packaging includes a gorgeous 36-page full-color booklet with expanded historical liner notes, unique photos and graphics, and a deluxe slipcase. It provides an excellent listening experience and a "coffee table book" for your living room or den! Just another way you get more from Impex Records!
