Sinatra 'Best of Vegas' Due February 15 from Concord Records.

Concord Records will release Frank Sinatra: Best of Vegas, collecting some of his legendary live performances on the Strip, February 15.
Best of VegasThe 14-song set, under license from Frank Sinatra Enterprises (FSE), captures Sinatra in concert at the Sands, Caesars Palace and the Golden Nugget in Las Vegas between 1961 and 1987. The collection is a distillation of highlights from Sinatra: Vegas, the five-disc boxed set (4 CD/1 DVD) of live recordings released by Reprise Records in 2006.
"From his debut at the Desert Inn in September 1951, no entertainer was ever more synonymous with the city of Las Vegas than Frank Sinatra," said Charles Pignone, author of The Sinatra Treasures, in his comprehensive liner notes to the Best of Vegas CD. "It has been said that next to legalized gambling, nothing has been more beneficial and profitable to Las Vegas than Frank Sinatra." 
Sinatra: New York (4 CD/1 DVD)The disc is loaded with Sinatra classic, performed live and some the most famous venues in the history of Vegas: "The Lady Is a Tramp" (The Sands, 1961); "I’ve Got You Under My Skin" (The Sands, 1966); "All or Nothing at All" (Caesars Palace, 1982); "Pennies From Heaven" (The Golden Nugget, 1987); and of course, the "Theme From New York, New York" (Caesars Palace, 1982).
"If you were in Las Vegas at the same time as Sinatra, there was nothing else that could compare,” says Pignone. “Even when the entertainment in town was changing from headliners to magic and production shows, Sinatra was still the 'main event.'"
