Highest chart positions: The charting of this EP is unknown. The album LP peaked at US Album #2
"In the Wee Small Hours" was Frank Sinatra's 9th studio album. It was released as an LP and as a set of four EPs, this being part 3 of the latter.
Sinatra really hit the jackpot, when he signed with Capitol. His first 7 albums went to US Top 10. Then he had one miss ("only" US Album #18) and then the next 6 were in the Top 10 again.
List price: Very Good+ is $10, Near Mint is $20. I think I have the sleeve for this, too. I'll add a photo later.
