''Songs for Young Lovers'' is the seventh studio album by Frank Sinatra and his first on Capitol Records. The 8-song, 10" album (Capitol H-488) was the first Sinatra "album" to not have a 78rpm multi-disc-album release. In 2002, it was one of 50 recordings chosen that year by the Library of Congress to be added to the National Recording Registry. ==Background== The tracks were conducted by Nelson Riddle, the sessions for this album and the preceding singles ("I've Got the World on a String" and "From Here to Eternity") initiating a long-standing collaboration between the arranger and singer that would continue for the next twenty years. All the arrangements, except for Riddle's own "Like Someone in Love", were by Sinatra's uptempo man from his days at Columbia Records, George Siravo, whose charts Sinatra had continued to use in recent club appearances. ''Songs For Young Lovers'' followed a formula similar to Sinatra's previous releases for Columbia - rather than compiling a potentially inconsistent set of former hits, a set of newly recorded songs would be arranged around a specific theme or concept. This time around, the singer had more artistic freedom, and producer Voyle Gilmore was supportive of the album's consistent format. In addition, the state-of-the-art Capitol studios were capable of producing a more detailed sound, which gave Riddle more freedom in his arrangements and orchestrations. In 1955, the eight songs were combined with the eight songs from the 10" album Swing Easy! on a new, 16 song, 12" LP (Capitol W-587) called "Swing Easy!", featuring the "Swing Easy!" cover but including a miniature inset of the "Songs for Young Lovers" cover. In 1962, the 1954, 8-song, 10" album was released as a 12-song, 12" LP (Capitol W-1432) with four extra songs added: "Someone To Watch Over Me", "My One And Only Love", "It Worries Me", and "I Can Read Between the Lines". The cover of the new album included both previous album covers.〔http://sinatrafamily.com/album/songs-for-young-lovers-441/〕 〔(Capitol Records – W-1432 at Discogs )〕 In 2002, it was one of 50 recordings chosen that year by the Library of Congress to be added to the National Recording Registry. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Songs for Young Lovers」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
