Description

Frank Sinatra -- In The Wee Small Hours.  1st Pressing on Capitol records. Vinyl is graded as VG, and has a couple light hairlines and a couple of light scratches that cause a little low volume tick on the rotation on tracks 6 and 7, side one, for about 10 seconds in each song. No skips or jumps on any tracks. Overall, Plays great and sounds great for an almost 70 year old record! The record is very clean and still has a wonderful gloss to the surface. Cover also in VG+ condition, with normal, light ring-wear on the front cover. From what I've seen out there, this is a very nice copy and great collectors item!
