Description
Billie Holiday (1915-1959) needs no introduction. Her voice was original and unique and she changed the way jazz music was sung for generations of singers to come. This Commodore album contains four records and I am not sure they are what came with this album, if anything did. The album may have been simply something produced and sold to sequester her Commodore records. Eddie Heywood plays on all but the first. Great John De Vries cover art.

NOTE: I grade records by a rating system that has been standard in the industry for decades. Still, it can be a subjective undertaking. I am more likely to grade by how the record reproduces aurally (I use a 78 Shure cartridge with a 1950s Voice of Music turntable that has been fit into a 1946 Magnavox Belvedere radio-phonograph) than by how it looks visually. Sometimes a record that appears substantially worn plays very well and sometimes the opposite is true.price rating
