Sinatra Sings Great Songs From Great Britain is the twenty-eighth studio album by American singer Frank Sinatra, released in 1962. It was released on LP in Great Britain, but not in the United States. A US release would not come until the compact disc released in the early 1990s. All tracks were available on The Complete Reprise Studio Recordings.
Arranged by Robert Farnon, the album was recorded in London in June 1962 at CTS Studios by Eric Tomlinson, a renowned recording and film industry dubbing engineer, who would go on to record the soundtracks to dozens of feature films including Oliver! (1968), Fiddler on the Roof (1971), and the original Star Wars trilogy (1977; 1980; 1983).
It is Sinatra's only UK studio album, though there were three other radio performances that were recorded and later released.
Sinatra was tired after touring, and had a sore throat: he was apparently not very happy with his voice.
