Description
Decca Records test pressing/acetate of the wonderful Good Morning Heartache by Billie Holiday (here titled GOODMORNING HEART ACHES in ink). To my ear this is the same take as the commercial release in 1946.
“Good Morning Heartache” was written by Irene Higgenbotham, Dan Fisher, and Ervin Drake for vocalist Billie Holiday, who first recorded it on January 22, 1946. It soon became one of her signature tunes. It was included in the soundtrack of the 1972 biopic Lady Sings the Blues. Here, Diana Ross played the role of Holiday and sang the songs on the soundtrack. Her version of “Good Morning Heartache” was especially successful and certainly responsible for the many cover versions of the songs that were recorded and performed throughout 1937. These include versions by guitarist Kenny Burrell, saxophonist Sonny Rollins, and vocalist Ella Fitzgerald, who featured it in her performance at the Newport Jazz Festival that year.
Record is in VG (Goldmine), V (VJM for 78 RPM records) condition with some scuffing and very light scratches, has slight storage warp that is audible in background hiss.
Recorded with no filter using Audio Technica AT-LP1240 turntable and Grado 78 RPM cartridge.
78s will be carefully packed- sandwiched in 4 cardboard squares, then in oversize box with eco-peanuts.
