Frank

Product Information

In the liner notes for Winehouse's 2011 album Lioness: Hidden Treasures, producer Salaam Remi wrote about the track "Half Time", an outtake from the recording sessions for Frank, and revealed that Frank 's title refers partly to Frank Sinatra, an early influence on Winehouse. In 2004, the album was released to European countries, including Poland and Germany, as well as being released in Canada through Universal Music Group. Its title alludes to the nature and tone of Winehouse’s lyrics on the album, as well as one of her influences, Frank Sinatra. Additionally there's a strange low, but constant "hum noise" (roughly 310 Hz) audible on the B-side… Especially noticeable in the gaps between the songs, but unfortunately also audible in the quite passages too… Overall I'm kind of disappointed by this reissue.

The Washington Post 's Bill Friskics-Warren noted most of its content as "sultry ballads and shambling neo-soul jams", while writing that it "more than confirms what the fuss over Winehouse – then just 19 and with a lot fewer tattoos – was originally all about.

In late 2011, Frank was certified double platinum by the International Federation of the Phonographic Industry (IFPI) for sales in excess of two million copies across Europe. Importantly, the voice of the late, great jazz singer herself is left in place and it is just the music that's replayed by a selection of people - who do a fine job.

Probably the best pressing of any album I own, it sounds so good that I have begun to hunt down half speed masters of other albums that I own to see if they compare.
