1STEP Process 180g 45rpm 2-LP, Pressed on VR900-Supreme Vinyl! Cut Using Original Analog Mixdown Masters by Chris Bellman and Andreas Meyer! Strictly Limited To 5,000 Numbered Pressings! 

We are beyond 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! Our 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! Our 33.3 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!

“The sound is revelatory, to use Granata’s word – I certainly can’t think of a better one. For those expecting a tinny-sounding, flat, “old-timey” recording, you’re going to be surprised at the clarity and the richness and presence of Sinatra’s voice. The “time machine” effect of being in the Man’s presence is downright spooky.” –Frank Doris, Copper Magazine

“Abey Fonn confided in me that Sing and Dance with Frank Sinatra may be the best-sounding 1STEP release yet, and after having it in regular rotation here for weeks, I can’t argue with her conclusions. I can definitely say this without reservation: it’s undeniably the best mono LP I’ve ever heard, bar none!”

“This is the kind of reissue that could truly inspire many of our younger generations to now not only follow my deep dive into Sinatra, but also into the amazing advantages of vinyl!…the 45 RPM cut, the use of the super quiet Neotech VR900 Supreme vinyl, and the amazing quality of the overall presentation and packaging makes this reissue both a superb addition to your music collection, but also an investment in the very best that this hobby can offer!”
