About the album

By 1955 Frank Sinatra had made one of the great comebacks in showbiz history, and with arranger Nelson Riddle at Capitol he made the record of his life. In the Wee Small Hours is sixteen songs about late nights, lost love and lonely city streets, sung with a warmth and intimacy nobody has ever topped.

"Mood Indigo," "Glad to Be Unhappy," "I Get Along Without You Very Well," "Last Night When We Were Young" and the title song glow like streetlights on the cover. The Tone Poet series treats it with the care it deserves: all-analog mastering, heavyweight vinyl and a deluxe gatefold.
