This Is Sinatra! is an album by Frank Sinatra, released in 1956. This is the first
collection of Sinatra's singles and B-sides with Nelson Riddle. This album is not
available on compact disc, except within The Capitol Years 21 disc box set. All of
the tracks also appear on the box set The Complete Capitol Singles Collection and
various Capitol reissues. A second collection, entitled This Is Sinatra Volume 2,
was released in 1958.

Both albums were part of Capitol's "This Is" series. The albums highlighted past
hits by artists like Sinatra, June Christy, Dean Martin and Nat "King" Cole as well
as newly released (and hopefully hit-making) singles.
