On sale here are 2 x 10 inch 33rpm albums by Frank Sinatra - "In The Wee Small Hours Part 1" and "In The Wee Small Hours Part 2". They are being sold as a job lot for one price.

The tracks on these two albums were eventually grouped together to form a single 12 inch version - but this is how it was first issued (as 2 x 10 inches) in 1956.

Both of the records have been professionally cleaned so they are free from dust, dirt and fingermarks.

They have both been play tested on a Technics record deck.

None of the sleeves or labels have any handwriting on them.

None of the sleeves or labels have any sticker damage or residue on them.

They do display evidence of ageing / use (which is not unusual considering their vintage) and play with a little crackle (but no jumps) but both been individually graded in detail (see below).

The photos / scans uploaded with this listing are of the actual records you will receive (and are not generic images).
