Comment
The master take of "My Foolish Heart" has been issued only on the 20-CD COMPLETE REPRISE YEARS box set. These are alternate versions.
"Leave It All to Me" is a Paul Anka composition, arranged for Sinatra by Torrie Zito. No version has ever been released.
"Body and Soul" was recorded for L.A. IS MY LADY, but producer Quincy Jones and engineer Phil Ramone decided that it would be better to re-do it in a slightly lower key. No re-recording was ever attempted, however, and it was dropped from the album. Sinatra had recorded a version for Columbia many years earlier.
"Hey Look, No Crying" is an alternate version of the track from SHE SHOT ME DOWN.
"Everything Happens to Me" is an alternate version of the 1981 master that appears on the COMPLETE REPRISE YEARS set.
Edited versions of "It's Time for You" were used in advertisements for Chrysler. The lyrics have been attributed to Sammy Cahn. No version has ever been released. For more info, check out:

Also, Joe Piscopo parodied the song on "Saturday Night Live":

"Summer Me, Winter Me" is an alternate version of the TRILOGY track.
"Let's Face the Music and Dance" is a different arrangement from the TRILOGY version.
"Evergreen" is a version of the Barbra Streisand hit. It was arranged for Sinatra by Nelson Riddle, but never completed.
"The Saddest Thing of All" is an unreleased version of a song that was occasionally performed by Sinatra in the mid-Seventies, but was issued (from a different recording session) only on the big REPRISE YEARS box set in 1995.
I've never been clear on what the purpose of this bizarre version of "Gunga Din" was, but at any rate, it was never released in any form.
"I Wish You Love" and "I Believe in You" are outtakes from the Sinatra-Basie collaboration IT MIGHT AS WELL BE SWING that weren't used on any of the Artisan bootlegs. "I Believe in You" is an alternate take, while "I Wish You Love" is a lengthy series of false starts and alternates. (Other tracks from these sessions were included in my torrent of "On the Inside.")
"Style" was recorded for the ROBIN AND THE SEVEN HOODS soundtrack. The track presented here is merely an extract of session chatter (no music), but it's notable for a couple of special guests.
