Happy 100 Frank Sinatra! "Ultimate Sinatra" And Today A Free Vintage UBER Ride On Frank
Of course the only "ultimate" Sinatra collection for fans is having a huge collection of his albums on Columbia, Capitol and Reprise—the label he started—plus some of the original 78s from the late '30's up until the era of the long playing record.
But not everyone is that as into Sinatra, so for those who don't collect but want a well-curated compilation, this one, containing twenty four tracks put together with help from Frank, Jr., Nancy and Tina Sinatra will do nicely and it might get some buyers to start collecting Frank vinyl.

On Almost Blue Elvis Costello Explores His Inner Country Self
No doubt Elvis Costello knew he was no George Jones or Merle Haggard when, in the spring of 1981 he stepped before the microphone in CBS's Studio A in Nashville under the direction of veteran producer Billy Sherill (who passed away this past August), but he wanted to record an album of country covers in Nashville and following the cleansing craziness of the Trust sessions, this probably seemed like the right time.

Trust Gets a Detail Wringing By Mobile Fidelity
At the top of the Costello album heap (not there alone, though), Trust issued in 1981 is Elvis Costello peaking in anger and disillusionment and coupling his discontent to wiry melodic constructions riding atop tautly tensioned rhythms. The album title is obviously ironic.
The tawdry "New Lace Sleeves" makes you want to shower after listening: "ministers go crawling undercover", "good manners and bad breath get you nowhere"—the song is packed with memorably uncomfortable post-coital images.
