80

Here is a sealed copy of Billie Holiday's LP "The Lady Sings" on Decca DL 8215 from 1954 in Mono.

     A similar copy sold recently on Ebay for hundreds of dollars! Like that one, this one is also a Mono copy. Like that one, this one is still sealed in its original shrink wrap. The shrink wrap is totally tight all around the LP cover. It does have two minor tears. One can be seen in the photos at the bottom left. Another is at the very bottom right. On the back cover, there are no tears. There appears to be some "ring wear," which could be the result of being stored on a shelf with other LP's. This can be seen in the photos.

    As with the other copy, I cannot guarantee which Decca label is on this copy, since it is sealed. It may have the original Decca label used in the early 1950's, or it may be a later label. Since this copy is in mono, it may have an earlier label, but I cannot guarantee that.
   The seller of the copy that recently sold for hundreds of dollars included the following with his/her auction:
              

This classic collection lovingly assembles in one place the prime of Billie Holiday - her immortal mid-period DECCA sides (1945-51), when her voice was in a full bloom, and at the peak of its power and finesse. While most people are familiar with Billie Holiday from her later, emotionally devastating performances, very few pay attention to her early sides, which is a huge, catastrophic mistake. Hear this, and see what you have been missing. As much as her later period is emotionally draining, the early sides are technically amazing and extremely impressive. This LP is next-to-impossible to find in decent condition. The set contains many memorable Billie Holiday performances, and many of the standards and tunes that she, herself, gave life and fame to. Track listing: Deep Song – You better go now – Don’t explain – Ain’t nobody’s business if I  do – God bless the child – Them there eyes – Good Morning Heartache – No More – No good man – I’ll look around – Easy Living – What is this thing called love?  Finding a still sealed MONO copy?!?! Forget it – not even a HOPE!!! This may be the last one you will ever see.
