In The Wee Small Hours - 2017 European DOL label 16-track LP Reissue

Los Angeles based crooners 9th studio album originally released in April 1955 by Capitol and produced by Voyle Gilmore with arrangements by Nelson Riddle... the first of a series of albums thematically cornering Sinatra dealing with themes such as loneliness, introspection, lost love, failed relationships, depression, and night life.

DOL is a budget label - the album is pressed onto 180 gram high quality virgin vinyl - presented with the original artwork... a painting portraying Sinatra on an eerie and deserted street at night awash in blue-tinged street lights.
