The Great Escape - Music & More

Released in 1970,Watertownis a lost masterpiece. It was a turning point for Frank Sinatra: a concept album from the man who pioneered the concept album, written by Bob Gaudio, of Four Seasons fame, and Jake Holmes, who previously had written the Four Seasons own concept album.

Despite a top 5 AC chart showing for the single I Would Be In Love (anyway), the album was poorly received at the time, but has gone through a re-evaluation in recent years and is now considered one of Sinatras finest recordings.

The CD deluxe edition includes previously unreleased bonus material featuring session outtakes and Lady Day, a tribute to Billie Holiday, not included on the original album.
