Classic songs ... less than classic sound quality

"As one who is not a recording technician, I hate to dwell on the sound quality, but this CD would rate more highly if it sounded better. If you can accept that the recordings ARE quite old, this is a very listenable collection of some great songs. Even if you enjoy the swinging Sinatra of the '50s more, you can hear the start of his trademark long phrasing here. Songs like "I'll be Seeing You" and "Imagination" are timeless, although "Dolores" has not aged as gracefully, with a lot of humming and doo-be-doo's that are either charming or annoying, depending on your taste.As far as I know there is no definitive Sinatra-Dorsey collection, but this is one worth considering."
