More on Sinatra's Reprise catalogue

I told you that some of Frank's albums are sadly going out of print. I am fortunate to have a copy of Sinatra & Jobim. Should you the collector rush to buy Strangers in the Night before it is out of print as well?

Maybe not. Right now albums like Strangers in the Night is a barebones affair, poor cover art reproduction, no bonus tracks, basic remastering. It is ripe for a re-release. Perhaps that is what the Sinatra family intends?

This article suggests that some of the long out of print albums will once again see the light of day. I hope it is true. Still, should you buy Ring-a-ding-ding? It was given a solid remastering job and is a solid album. If it goes out of print, like Sinatra/Jobim did, will you regret not buying it? And will it return as a remaster soon, as classics like Watertown might?

Anyways, here's hoping for the very best.
