Duets: 20th Anniversary Deluxe Edition

Duets: 20th Anniversary Deluxe Edition is a 2013 box set compilation album of electronically-assembled duets by American singer Frank Sinatra. Released to commemorate the 20th anniversary of Sinatra's highly successful album Duets, Capitol/UMe released a newly-remastered two-CD deluxe edition bringing together the original Duets, and the 1994 follow-up Duets II. In additions to the original duets, the new release includes two previously unreleased recordings, "One for My Baby (And One More for the Road)" featuring Tom Scott and "Embraceable You" with Tanya Tucker, plus bonus tracks "Fly Me to the Moon" with George Strait and two versions of "My Way", one recorded with Luciano Pavarotti and the other with Willie Nelson. The album also features new cover art as well as a 32-page booklet with rare photos and both the original and new liner notes.
