Sinatra: Best of the Best is a 2011 double compilation album by American singer Frank Sinatra .
The album was promoted as having his classic hits from Capitol Records and Reprise Records together on one record for the first time ever. This 2 disc set is packaged in a lift top box and contains 5 collectible postcards of classic Sinatra images. The first disc contains the biggest hits from Frank Sinatra's career; the second disc contains the long out-of-print Live In '57 performance recorded in Seattle, Washington. Though this album was compiled and released by Capitol Records, the song "Night and Day " presented here is not the Capitol version, but the 1962 Reprise version from the album Sinatra and Strings .
Best of the Best is also available as a single disc with just the hits from disc one.
