It Was Arranged By Nelson Riddle And Released In March 1956 On LP And January 1987 On CD. It Was The First Album Ever To Top The UK Albums Chart. This Album Was Arranged By Nelson Riddle And Took A Different Tack After In The Wee Small Hours 1955 Recording Existing Pop Standards In A Hipper Jazzier Fashion Revealing An Overall Exuberance In The Vein Of Songs For Young Lovers And Swing Easy!. An Additional Track "Memories Of You" Was Recorded During The Sessions But Ultimately Left Off The Album. As A Slow Ballad It Was Deemed Inappropriate On An Album Of "swinging" Uptempo Numbers Since The Album Already Included The Ballad "We'll Be Together Again." While Sinatra Would Re-Record The Song With Axel Stordahl In 1961 For The Point Of No Return Album The 1956 Recording With Riddle Would Remain Unreleased Until Its Inclusion On The Longines Symphonette Album "Sinatra Like Never Before" SYS-5637 Released In September 1973 As A Bonus LP In The 10-Album Boxed Set "Sinatra The Works." The 1956 Recording Eventually Reached A Wider Audience When Released On The Capitol Years Compilation In 1990. The Original Cover Had Sinatra Facing Away From The Young Couple But In 1957 Capitol Altered The Cover With A New Image Of Sinatra Facing The Couple. Most CD Releases Have Retained The New Cover. In 2000 The Album Was Inducted Into The Grammy Hall Of Fame And Ranked #306 On Rolling Stone Magazine's List Of The 500 Greatest Albums Of All Time In 2003 And #308 In 2012 Revised List. Sinatra Aficionados Often Rank It His Best Or Second Best Album To In The Wee Small Hours And Many Music Critics Consider It One Of The Greatest Albums Of Its Era.

It Was Knocked Off The Top After Two Weeks By Carousel The 1956 Movie's Soundtrack . The Album's Title Predated The Term "swinging" In The Sense Of Partner-Swapping Sex By 8 Years Inadvertently Creating A Pun On Top Of The Original Pun Whereby Swinging Could Refer To Either The Genre Of Swing As Well As The Original Innocent Meaning Of Swinging I.E. To Have A Good Time .
