Ol’ Blue Eyes Is Back - Frank Sinatra (1973)
Who needs retirement?
For a comeback album it’s a bit dour, but still great (except for ‘send in the clowns’ not even Frank can polish that turd!)

This is really great, but unfortunately only the first 14 tracks are playable. It looks like sunlight has bleached out the recording surface! I’ve never known this before, I don’t think it being a CDr helped.
