Footnotes

These items came into the vendor's possession through the family friendship between Sinatra and the writer Richard Condon, author of the book 'The Manchurian Candidate'. Sinatra starred as Captain Ben Marco in the 1962 film version.
The album 'Songs For Swingin' Lovers' was released in 1956; the copy included here is an original pressing, with Sinatra facing away from the couple on the front cover. 'Rolling Stone' magazine included it at no. 306 in its 2003 list of 500 Greatest Albums Of All Time. It was the very first No.1 album in the UK charts.
