London By Night was a somewhat opportunist UK only release by Capitol to coincide with Frank Sinatra’s European appearances and new British themed album from Reprise. It reached No. 9 on the NME album chart.
“A Capitol compilation perhaps released with an eye to outwardly mirroring the Reprise LP Great Songs From Great Britain (released the same year in the United Kingdom). Apart from the title track and striking cover, there is little else of a British flavour.”
“It definitely looks like Capitol was trying to hang onto the coat-tails of the Reprise release. I do love the cover though.”
“It was issued by Capitol in the UK to commemorate Sinatra's appearances there during his 1962 world tour.”
