About This Album
After Frank Sinatra's death, his record labels began to use "the Rat Pack," the term casually applied to a loose conglomeration of some of his show business friends, as a marketing concept for reissuing material by him, Dean Martin, and Sammy Davis, Jr. There actually were some recordings and films of the three performing together, but soon enough collections were being assembled with their individual performances interspersed and credited to the Rat Pack. Capitol Records and Reprise Records, each of which had repositories of recordings by the three, combined for a couple of collections tied into the 2001 release of the remake of the film Ocean's Eleven: Eee-O-11: The Best of the Rat Pack and The Rat Pack Live at the Sands. In 2002 came Christmas With the Rat Pack, and in 2003, the CD/DVD package Live and Swingin': The Ultimate Rat Pack Collection. Worldwide, these four releases were approaching total sales of a million copies by the fall of 2004, when Boys Night Out was released to tie into the opening of the movie sequel Ocean's Twelve. Having exhausted "the best" and "the ultimate," the compilers, searching through the Capitol and Reprise vaults, have opted for what might be called "the obscure" here.
