do any of the db entries contain the proper 45 version
with re-verb?....the 'capitol years' cd box set i have is
dry......but, with a little tinkering, i converted the
stereo version to mono and a slight amount of re-verb and
it matches pretty well now...

The reverb on Sinatra's vocals are not present on any
stereo release I've ever heard. The reverb on the 45
is not particularly heavy, but it's definitely
noticeable. This 1959 single does not seem to have
appeared on an album until All The Way in 1961,
which would have been its first release in stereo.

The studio talk before the song starts on Capitol
Collectors Series is rather amusing; you can hear
Sinatra talk to the children.

It's hard to fathom that in 1959 someone was listening
to Frank Sinatra's voice and thought to himself, "Hmm,
this voice needs some reverb."
