Description
Record Quality: Good to Very Good. Some crackles and pops. No deep scratches. It plays without any skips.
Cover Quality: Very Good. There is no seam splitting . No ring wear (these clef covers are thick heavy board). No writing or markings on the cover. Minute snowing effect where ink has begun to wear off the front. However this does not distract from the graphic image. The back cover is excellent.

Billie Holiday
10" LP Clef MGC 161
Down Beat magazine reviewed this album in October, 1954 and rated it 5 stars:
"The set is an experience in mounting pleasure that can do anything but increase still further no matter how often the LP is replayed. (...) As for comparing it with earlier Teddy Wilson-Billie sessions, what's the point? Count your blessings in having both. (...) Speaking of time, Billie's beat and variations thereon never cease to be among the seven wonders of jazz."
The magazine refers to Oscar Peterson on piano in all these tracks and compares it to the old Brunswick years. These are now the Verve years, Norman Granz being the producer.
One more note: the track Autumn in New York is a different take from the release on 78 (s. vinyl discography).
