Description
Mastered by George Marino at Sterling Sound
these are all truly classic Verve titles that you simply dont want to missmost importantly, the sound of these reissues is nothing short of astounding. Particularly the early Billie and Ella mono records are incredible treasures of sonic beauty. Id definitely ask Santa for the whole set, or, if you want to cherry pick, the most classic titles. Whatever you decide, you owe yourself at least a half dozen! Winner of a 2012 Positive Feedback Online Writers Choice Award Danny Kaey, Positive Feedback Online, November/December 2011
After the publication of her autobiography, Lady Sings The Blues, Billie Holiday was doing good business in clubs in what turned out to be a last burst of stardom. We cannot know why she stopped recording for Norman Granz after January 1957 but the present collection is a magnificent culmination of her years with the producer.
Originally released in 1955.
