"THE BEST ALBUMS FROM LEGENDARY VERVE RECORDS JAZZ CATALOGUE GET IMPECCABLE AUDIOPHILE TREATMENT BY ANALOGUE PRODUCTIONS, CUT AT 45RPM FOR ULTIMATE SOUND QUALITY BY EQUALY LEGENDARY MASTERING ENGINEER GEORGE MARINO AT STERLING SOUND, PRESERVING ALL THE ANALOG GLORY OF THE ORIGINAL MASTER TAPES TO BRING THESE SESSIONS TO LIFE IN SPECTACULAR FASHION, LIKE THEY DESERVE."
"...THESE ARE ALL TRULY CLASSIC VERVE TITLES THAT YOU SIMPLY DON'T WANT TO MISS...MOST 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. I'D 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"
"SMALL JAZZ GROUPS BROUGHT OUT THE BEST IN BILLIE HOLIDAY-ESPECIALLY GROUPS AS GOOD AS THE ONE HEARD ON THIS CLASSIC 1957 RECORDING. BEN WEBSTER, HARRY "SWEETS" EDISON AND THE OTHER MEMBERS OF THIS STELLAR ENSEMBLE WERE NOT JUST GIFTED SOLOISTS BUT SENSITIVE ACCOMPANISTS AS WELL. LADY DAY WAS RARELY MORE ABLY SUPPORTED THAN SHE WAS ON THIS PROGRAM OF STURDY STANDARDS, INCLUDING THREE GEMS BY THE GERSHWIN BROTHERS-AND SHE RARELY SOUNDED MORE LUMINOUS."
"FROM WELL-KNOWN TUNES LIKE JOHNNY GREEN'S "BODY AND SOUL" OR "EMBRACEABLE YOU" FROM THE PENS OF THE TALENTED BROTHERS GERSHWIN TO PERHAPS THE MORE BASIC EMOTIONS OF DON REDMAN AND ANDY RAZAF'S "GEE, BABY AIN'T I GOOD TO YOU", LADY DAY SINGS AS THOUGH THE TUNE HAS BEEN WRITTEN JUST FOR HER. HER WONDERFUL PHRASING PLUS THAT INDEFINABLE QUALITY THAT IS HERS ALONE, ELEVATE THESE TUNES INTO THE RANKS OF THE MEMORABLE."
