Description

Artist: BILLIE HOLIDAY Label: MERCURY 89004 Titles: BLUE MOON/YOU GO TO MY HEAD Grade: E-/V+ Comments: 1952. Billie recorded for Mercury for only a short time, between her Decca and Verve years. These sessions are sometimes overlooked, but they capture a unique mood: postwar blues meets mid-century torch song. The Mercury material tends to be more intimate, often with smaller combos rather than big bands. Mercury 89004 is a late-career gem. It captures Billie Holiday not at her most polished, but at her most emotionally raw. With Oscar Peterson and Barney Kessel.
I grade conservatively. Most Records Have Been Graded Visually Unless Otherwise Indicated. SEE GRADING SYSTEM BELOW. 
Don't Worry, I Know How To Pack 78s Properly.

Standard 78 rpm Grading System:
N- = like new (a grade rarely given)
E+ = a virtually perfect copy with only minor signs of having been played
E = very slight signs of wear, maybe some minor scuffing and/or light scratches but a clean copy with little groove wear
E- = slightly above average copy, some groove wear and minor blemishes but a very decent copy
V+ = an average copy, signs of use, some groove wear but still a decent copy. Music overrides surface noise noticeably. 
V = wear, scuffing, light scratches but a very playable copy
V- getting scary!...will play but is quite worn.
G+ = a playable copy but very very worn
G plays through. Not really a pleasurable listening experience.
G- =  wall hanger
P =  once might have been a phonograph record.
