I received in the mail today the Complete Columbia Recordings of Sinatra boxed set and I was shocked to see that two of Sinatra's hits "A Fellow Needs a Girl" and "So far" were listed as previously unavailable alternate takes. Then I checked all the other discs and saw none of the other hit singles were listed as such. Relieved I went online to see if the original versions were available anywhere. The I was shocked to find this web page indicating many more songs were alternate takes: http://www.songsbysinatra.com/faq/not-in-box.html. All of Me, Nancy, and The Coffee Song are a few of the hit singles he lists as being alternate takes on the boxed set. I tried to email him but the mail was returned as undeliverable. Does anyone know what the truth is on this matter? I hope I did just shell out a bunch of money for alternate versions not on the original singles.
