From Wikipedia... In the Wee Small Hours is the ninth studio album by the American vocalist Frank Sinatra. It was released in April 1955 by Capitol and produced by Voyle Gilmore with arrangements by Nelson Riddle. The album's songs deal with themes such as introspection, melancholy, lost love, failed relationships, depression and night life; as such, it has been called one of the first concept albums. The album was a commercial success, cementing Sinatra's career resurgence after releasing a string of hit singles and two prior albums with Capitol, and winning an Academy Award for his role in the film From Here to Eternity. In the Wee Small Hours peaked at number two on the US Billboard 200 chart, where it stayed for 18 weeks. The success of the album helped popularize the 12-inch LP in popular music, and the 10-inch format quickly fell into obsolescence.

I played this LP completely through on both sides on my audio-technia AT-LP60XBT turntable without issues.  It plays beautifully and sounds great!
