When Frank Sinatra’s In the Wee Small Hours was released by Capitol in April 1955—his second studio album for the label—it was issued on two 10-inch LPs (Parts 1 and 2) and, shortly afterward, on one 12-inch LP. It also was Sinatra’s second lamppost LP. [Photo above of Frank Sinatra in 1955, courtesy of Wikipedia]
