The Complete Capitol Singles Collection è una raccolta del crooner statunitense Frank Sinatra, pubblicata nel 1996 dalla Capitol Records.
Descrizione Questo set di quattro dischi racchiude tutti i singoli (sia lato A che lato B) che Sinatra registrò per la Capitol, tra il 1953 e il 1961. Tra le numerose canzoni ci sono duetti con Bing Crosby, June Hutton e Keely Smith. Tra il materiale fornito con il disco vi sono diverse fotografie e un saggio di Will Friedwald.
Da notare che le tracce sono inserite nei vari dischi in ordine cronologico e che Sinatra disprezzò questo album considerandolo un atteggiamento da "affamato di classifiche".
I singoli di Sinatra solitamente non venivano estratti dagli album, e sono relativamente poco conosciuti: il cantante si cimenta in doo-wop, rock and roll e canzoni commerciali come la celeberrima (Love Is) The Tender Trap. Per questo motivo l'album non deve essere considerato un best of di Sinatra alla Capitol: i singoli raccolti sono proprio tutti, e non solo i migliori.
Delle 96 canzoni che compongono il set, 28 sono state composte dai compositori Sammy Cahn e Jimmy Van Heusen, anche se non tutte in coppia, e la parola love è ripetuta in 21 titoli di canzoni.
