Frank Sinatra’s classic 1955 Capitol Records album In the Wee Small Hours will be reissued in Blue Note’s Tone Poet Audiophile Vinyl Series on Nov. 14, marking the album’s 70th anniversary. The album, which was inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame in 1984, has been called Sinatra’s “melancholy masterpiece.” One of the first concept albums, it was an obvious inspiration for such subsequent moody collections as Linda Ronstadt’s What’s New, a surprise hit in 1983.
