Description: For sale is a 7 Inch 45 RPM vinyl EP by Frank Sinatra titled "In The Wee Small Hours (Part 2)", originally released in 1955 by Capitol Records as a four song EP. I bought this record used, professionally cleaned it on my VPI HW-17 machine and immediately put it into an archival inner sleeve, then into a storage box for seven inch 45 RPM vinyl records, that was kept under optimum conditions for both temperature and humidity until today. The archival inner sleeve is graded as Near Mint. The original inner sleeve is graded as Good Plus because of a tear along the inside hole, small tears along the top opening and some ink writing. In the dead wax between the labels and the last tracks is etched the matrix numbers D-4/D-4, followed by a machine stamped picture of the silhouette of the U.S. Capitol building, indicating that early stampers were used to make this record at Capitol Record's pressing plant, located in Scranton, Pennsylvania. These are hallmarks of state-of-the-art engineering, sought after by collectors and music lovers for their superior sound qualities. The vinyl is visually graded as Good Plus because of sleeve marks and hairlines, none of which can be felt with a fingertip. I'm play grading this record as Good because of occasional ticking at the end of Side One along with some low level pops and surface noise, none of which over-powers the vocals or the music. It plays all the way through without any skips or lock-ups from start to finish. This would be a welcome addition to anyone's collection. Please read all descriptions and look at all pictures, as this is a final sale and I do not accept returns. Thank you for viewing my listing. I've been collecting records for more that 50 years and always clean them before and after playback to keep them in a pristine condition. I try to describe them to the best of my ability and use record grading guidelines like the Goldmine rating system as reference. Since retiring, I've begun to sell my very esoteric collection via my Ebay store (bobsanalogemporium) and will offer discounts for multiple sales. I always pack the items for sale in an archival inner sleeve, then put them in either a Kraft paper bubble mailer with sturdy cardboards or cardboard record mailers, always with the records separate from the jackets or its original picture sleeve, then sandwiched between sturdy cardboards before shipping. Please read all descriptions carefully and note all pictures before-hand, as I do not accept returns. Please visit my Ebay store for records, 45's, cassette tapes and comics of all different genres. They're predominately Near Mint. Thank you viewing my listing.
