here's a portion of jimmy's email with his sinatra playlists:
I love the fact that iTunes lets you play around so easily with tracks and whilst I love to play the albums in their entirety, it is nice to be able make your own up and give them a little title.
First up is my biggest play list, a real mixture of styles, themes and moods from all across my collection which is mainly made up of Capitol albums. Just a Pot-Pourri if you like.

Hope they prove interesting but one of the wonderful things about Sinatra I think is that there is something for everyone. What one Sinatra fan enjoys, another may not but I guarantee if you listen to enough of his material you will find gem after gem of simply glorious music.

The Sinatra song that I do not like at all is "High Hopes" from Classic Sinatra II.
Brian, I don't think "A Swingin' Affair!" as "Songs for Swingin' Lovers" 2. I refer to it as the best Sinatra album I've ever heard. I first bought "Swingin' Lovers" and then I bought "Swingin' Affair!" second and I must say that "Swingin' Affair!" is a superior album.
