Originally, All Alone was going to called Come Waltz With Me. Although the title and the accompanying specially written title song were dropped before the album's release, the record remained a stately collection of waltzes, arranged and conducted by Gordon Jenkins. Out of all the arrangers Sinatra regularly worked with, Jenkins had the most overt classical influences in his writing, making him the perfect choice for the project. Nevertheless, All Alone is an uneven album, even as it is one of the most intriguing records Sinatra recorded. Divided between standards and relatively recent tunes, the most distinctive element of the album are the rich, neoclassical arrangements by Jenkins. Sinatra doesn't strictly follow Jenkins' intentions. Instead playing close to the vest, he wrenches the emotions out of the songs. Most of the time, the results are quite moving, especially on the opening and closing Irving Berlin ballads, "All Alone" and "The Song Is Ended." When the results aren't quite as successful, they are still interesting, and the elegant, ruminative music makes All Alone a necessary listen for dedicated Sinatra fans.

·       CONDITION:

·       RECORD

(IMPORTANT NOTE: unless otherwise noted, ALL records are graded visually, and NOT play-graded!; we  grade records under the strong, diffuse room light or discrete sunlight)

(a)          THE ALBUM IS STILL FACTORY SEALED AND IS BELIEVED TO BE PERFECTLY MINT. Please note: sealed items are assumed to be mint and are sold as-is, as we have no way of inspecting them. For our policy on still sealed records ►click here (PLEASE READ BEFORE PLACING A BID).

(b)          The record is believed to come in its original stock inner sleeve.

(c)           The record is  apparently pressed on a beautiful, thick, inflexible vinyl, which was usually used for the first or very early pressings. Usually, the sound on such thick vinyl pressings is full-bodied, vivid, and even dramatic. Do not expect to obtain such a majestic analog sound from a digital recording!

(d)          Of course, this is a full-bodied ANALOG recording, and not an inferior, digital recording!!!

·                               THE COVER

COVER IS STILL SEALED; HOWEVER, WE ARE UNABLE TO GRADE IT MINT OR NEAR MINT DUE TO MINOR FLAWS LISTED BELOW; WE GRADE THIS COVER AS VG++   (A SMALL PIECE OF SHRINK WRAP IS MISSING)

[NOTE: BASED ON THE APPEARANCE OF THE COVER, WE BELIEVE  THAT THERE IS A BETTER THAN 50/50 CHANCE THAT THIS ALBUM WAS RESEALED BY THE RETAILER OR DISTRIBUTOR[

The following flaws or imperfections are noted on the cover:

-        The cover has a tiny, inconspicuous,  metal ring in the upper left corner, indicating that the album was the property of the radio or broadcasting station.

-        Cover has some light ring wear (nothing significant); On the scale from 1 to 10 (1 being the least, and  10 being the most severe), we assess the severity of ring wear as 3  (front side) and 4 (back side)

-        Cover has a few tiny, spot-like peel-off marks in one small area not covered by the shrink wrap (nothing significant)  (less than ¼ square inch in size)

-        Cover has a few wrinkles along the spine   (VISIBLE ON BACK SIDE ONLY)

-        Cover has a visible "wrinkle"(crease)  in one of the corners.

-        Visible shelf wear noted on the top and bottom seams
