~ condition ~


record is in Very Good + Condition* and has
been fully play tested and it sounds great without
any skips, repeats or bad noise & has just light
mellow crackle & an occasional soft pop (although
there is one quick quiet jump* on side 2 during the
track "Sophisticated Lady") & has shiny clean vinyl
that has just some light wear and the labels
are bright & clean with no writing

cover is in Very Good Condition with bold bright
printing & has intact seams & no writing or markings
but there is evidence of it being taped along the top
edge at one point where there is a little bit of tape
residue (and some spots on the back where the paper
has been peeled away) & the seams are intact but
the top & bottom do have neat archival repairs that
were done from the inside and are only seen upon
close inspection & there is also some corner
and edge wear, but overall this looks nice

displays & plays well

the above is 'scrawled' into the dead wax


~ review ~


this gem features some of Billie Holiday's top
Verve performances from the mid-'50s running
the emotional gamut from summery optimism
("Love Is Here to Stay") to pathos-rich musings
("Ill Wind") and Befitting her perennial after-hours
mood while at the label, the majority of songs
here feature Holiday in a low-down mood of the
highest order & are classics of the jazz vocal tradition
And the supporting cast isn't bad either with
the likes of Harry Edison, Barney Kessel
Ben Webster and Jimmy Rowles

energy and spontaneity of the idiom. he was from Chicago
and studied at the Art Institute of Chicago and began his
career assisting social realist painter Ben Shahn designing
murals for the '33 World's Fair & then became the TVA
art director & also worked as an artist for Life Magazine
during WW II until later entering the music biz through his
longtime friendship with Norman Granz designing covers
for his Verve, Norgran Clef & Down Home record labels
as well as hundreds of other album covers and is the
most famous and collected artist of all jazz era and
his work has exhibited at Metropolitan Museum
