   For sale is Frank Sinatra's No One Cares, originally released in 1959 by Capitol Records and digitally remastered to be reissued by Capitol in 1984. This record has the black labels with the rainbow ring around the rim, commonly called "black color-band labels" by collectors. In the dead wax between the labels and the last tracks are the matrix numbers A-1/B-2, followed by an etched "Penthouse", indicating that a very early stamper was used to make this reissue, mastered and/or lacquered at Penthouse Studios, London, a division of Abbey Road Studios. This is a hallmark of state-of-the-art engineering, sought after by collectors and music lovers for their superior sound quality. I bought this used, professionally cleaned it on my VPI HW-17 machine and immediately put this album into a MFSL archival inner sleeve. Doing this protects the integrity of vinyl and any original inner sleeve(s) or insert(s) that may have come with the release. The inner sleeve is Near Mint. The cover is graded as Near Mint Minus because of slight ring wear and an edge rub on the top. The spine has color loss at one of the corners. The vinyl is visually graded as NM- because of very faint sleeve marks. The vinyl is play graded as Near Mint. This is the best copy of this hard to find record that I've ever seen or heard and you would be hard pressed to find a copy in this condition. I have more Sinatra records, as well as albums of all different genres, in my Ebay store. Please take a look. They're predominately Near Mint. Thank you for viewing my listing.    I've been collecting records for about 50 years now and have always cleaned them and put them away carefully in plastic inner sleeves. Over the years I've used Dust Bugs, Disc Washers and have finally invested in a professional VPI record cleaning machine. Now that I'm retiring, I'm selling my very esoteric collection. I'm not a professional grader of records, but will use record guides, as well as my personal experiences as a basis of my grading all records. Since grading is subjective, I will be conservative. I offer discounts for multiple sales. Photos are of the actual item for sale, not a stock photo. Please review all descriptions and photos because I do not accept returns. Thank you for looking!
