September of My Years stands as one of Frank Sinatra’s most reflective works, where the singer’s voice carries the weight and wisdom of middle age with a rare tenderness. Arranged and conducted by Gordon Jenkins, the album unfolds as an intimate conversation, with Sinatra’s phrasing delicately supported by a subtle ensemble featuring woodwinds and violas. Songs like "It Was A Very Good Year" and "The September Of My Years" offer a poetic meditation on aging and memory, making this a record for those who appreciate thoughtful, focused listening rather than just background ambiance. The artwork by Ed Thrasher and the liner notes by Stan Cornyn add a refined visual and literary touch to the package, complementing the mood without overshadowing the music. This 1965 vintage pressing brings that classic mood to vinyl with a clean, glossy surface showing only minor light scuffs typical of careful past plays. The condition here means the grooves are well-preserved for consistent playback, allowing the listener to experience Sinatra’s nuanced vocals and Jenkins’s orchestration as intended. If you’re seeking a record that invites contemplation and rewards repeated listens, this pressing offers both the musical and physical clarity to appreciate its subtlety. After all, not every September calls for a quick shuffle.

Sound samples are included to help you get a feel for the music, but they may not always match the exact pressing or track version of the record listed. When in doubt, trust the photos and pressing information - that's the actual record you're buying.
