SING, a blockchain tech company and rightsholder, selling music from major artists and catalogs as vinyl/digital hybrid releases to super-fans, is releasing a treasure trove of previously unreleased live radio performances by "The Voice" - Frank Sinatra - are scheduled for release in 2025 and 2026 on digital, compact disc and vinyl formats.
The first title, At The Hollywood Bowl 1943-1948 was released October 3, 2025 on Vinyl and CD. The album is available for pre-order through SING MARKET or directly on LP here and CD here. SING spared no expense on extensive audio restoration campaign for these projects from original broadcast sources to give fans the best fidelity possible.
SING plans to release two other additional titles in the coming months, including Christmas on the Air and the 5xLP deluxe box set, Long Ago, Far Away, consisting of live recordings and radio broadcasts recorded between 1943 and 1951. Full details on these releases will be announced shortly.
"Frank Sinatra was one of America's first multi-media superstars," said Charles 'Chuck' Granata: a world-renowned Sinatra historian, author and producer. "As prolific as he was in the recording studio, his work on radio was even more extensive – and equally important in the overarching scheme of his sixty-plus year career. What makes it essential is that on the radio – and during early concert performances of the 1940s – Frank Sinatra sang tunes that he never otherwise recorded. Many are top-tier songs by Cole Porter, Johnny Mercer, Irving Berlin, Jerome Kern, the Gershwins, Cahn and Styne and others. He also relied on contemporary pop tunes of the day that also went unrecorded. Thus, the radio years offer us a plethora of great songs by Sinatra that we'd otherwise never hear if not for these recorded broadcasts and stage performances."
Granata, who produced Nancy Sinatra's weekly Nancy for Frank radio program on SiriusXM from 2007 to 2021 and currently hosts Sinatra Standard Time on KSDS-FM in San Diego contributed the extensive, detailed liner notes that accompany the releases.
"These recordings have circulated for decades, with inferior sonic quality," Granata adds. "I'm amazed that SING has been able to locate and compile their collections from some very high quality sources. These are historically essential recordings, and deserve to be preserved and shared with anyone who values the 'Golden Age' of traditional American pop music. They really help round out and offer a fuller view of Sinatra's contributions to American pop music, culture and style."
A force of charisma, cool, and conviction, Sinatra’s voice carried across decades, shaping the soundtrack of the 20th century. Born in Hoboken, New Jersey, Sinatra rose from humble beginnings to become a global icon. With over 150 million records sold, he remains one of the best-selling artists of all time. But numbers don’t capture the magic. It’s in the phrasing, the timing, the way he turns a lyric into lived experience. To listen to Sinatra is to hear America in its most glamorous, bruised, and hopeful form. It’s not nostalgia, it’s timelessness.

In 1943, the world-renowned Los Angeles Philharmonic welcomed the first pop singer in its history – teen idol Frank Sinatra – to appear at the Hollywood Bowl. This auspicious moment was a turning point for the orchestra, singer and venue, and began a rich series of collaborations between the crooner and the Bowl: one that would last into the final phases of his storied career in the 1990s. For the first time, these historic performances – documenting Sinatra's three major Hollywood Bowl appearances in the 1940s – have been remastered from the primary recording sources to put you front-and-center for a rare, fascinating glimpse into his earliest success as a legitimate concert artist. Meticulously restored and remastered – and enhanced with detailed, historic liner notes by renowned Sinatra authority Charles "Chuck" Granata - this important collection represents a defining moment in 20th century American popular music.
