"Widely held to be the greatest singer in American pop history and one of the most successful entertainers of the 20th century, Sinatra was also the first modern pop superstar" (New York Times). His twelfth studio album, A Swingin' Affair! features "The Voice" singing such standards as "From This Moment On," "Stars Fell on Alabama," "I Got Plenty o' Nuttin'" and "Nice Work if You Can Get It." Fine and bold signatures from the "Rat Pack"—"Sinatra and his kindred crew of high-living, hard-drinking, skirt-chasing buddies" (Time): Joey Bishop, Sammy Davis, Jr., Peter Lawford and Dean Martin—are on the verso of the cardboard album jacket.
Vinyl record unscratched. Cardboard sleeve with light rubbing to open edge. An about-fine, multiple-signed piece of popular music and Hollywood memorabilia.
