Frank Sinatra: No One Cares

No One Cares was Frank Sinatra's seventeenth studio album and follows a similar to his previous album Where Are You? Much like the critically acclaimed Wee Small Hours and Only the Lonely, the albums share sad, lonesome, gloomy songs that are described by many as his saddest and darkest album. Even Sinatra himself referred to the record as a collection of "suicide songs".

Released my Mobile Fidelity Sound Labs as a part of their GAIN 2™ Ultra Analog Series, Frank Sinatra Collection, the album and others were advertised as "Original Master Recordings", which were specially plated and pressed on 180 gram high definition vinyl and mastered from the original master tapes. As has been well documented by us and others, unbeknownst to loyal fans of the Mobile Fidelity Sound Labs label, MOFI incorporated a digital step into the process. Therefore, this release and just about every other MOFI releases since 2012 is not technically "Ultra Analog".

Mobile Fidelity's release of No One Cares sounds like it has a digital influence. The warmth and depth that one might expect from an all analog audiophile vinyl record and was present in the MOFI Frank Sinatra boxed set is missing on this release. While the record sounds good, it does not sound great. It has great detail, but does not Wow! The recent remasters may be a better and satisfying option.  💸
