Description
I have to say that I am a big fan of Ella Fitzgerald. She earned her nickname of “The Queen Of Jazz” through dozens of fabulous recordings and hundreds (thousands?) of incredible performances. And this is just one more of my favorites from her. The sultry side of Ella comes out in this one. On this collection she covers the Cole Porter standards, and as Porter himself acknowledged, no one ever did them better. Every track on this album is memorable. And to make it even better, she is backed by a fabulous group of musicians directed by Buddy Bregman with the album produced by Normal Granz. The album was released on Verve in 1976, number VE-2-2511. This is a reissue of the album originally released in 1956. The vinyl is in beautiful condition with its bright original luster and just a couple of very light surface scratches that barely impact play. There is one short noticeable scratch over the first two tracks of side one that produces just a couple of small tics. The rest of the album plays with almost no background noise. The vinyl grades VG+. The gatefold album cover shows light ring wear and light corner and edge wear. All seams are sharp, tight, and intact. The cover grades VG+.

Grading Information
I always clean and then listen to every record I list on eBay. I do this to make sure I can give as accurate a description of each record as possible. I will do both a visual check and an audio check. I absolutely attempt to give as objective a grading as I can. I don’t ever want you to be disappointed in the quality of the album you receive.I use four grades in my grading: NM, VG+, VG, and G. The only exception is a sealed album which is presumed to have vinyl in mint condition. My NM grading means that the vinyl looks and plays as though it is the first time out of the sleeve. The VG+ rating is used on any album that plays great but has one or two small defects. It may have a pop here and there or some occasional background static. On a VG album you can expect that, typically, this album will play great, but you’ll see more defects on this than your VG+ rated album. Most often the VG rated album may even play well enough to be graded VG+, but the color or blemishes drop the grading. Likewise, you may occasionally find an album that looks almost NM but the sound quality just isn’t there. That’s why I play every album first, because this does happen. In this case the vinyl will be graded VG. Occasionally I will list an album with a grade of G. This is one where I consider the collectible value of the album to be great enough that the copy being presented is worth having as a filler copy.
Shipping Information – Combined Shipping
The shipping cost will be based on the weight of your package. For Media Mail, shipping is $5.00 in the continental U.S. In addition, I will happily combine records from multiple auctions to reduce total shipping cost. In fact, I welcome it! Shipping will be $5.00 in the U.S regardless of the number of auctions won in any 5-day period. Some of you will note that this is an increase in my shipping charge. The USPS has raised media mail rates three times in the past year, with the most recent increase occurring August 30. I apologize for the increase, but I can no longer afford the postal cost and supplies cost at $4.Canada shipping is calculated based on weight using US Postal Service rates. Combined shipping is also welcomed here and does result in significant per-album cost savings. The first album will typically cost approximately $22. Additional albums will be shipped for $6 per album, with up to four pounds able to be shipped before we need to use International Priority shipping. At that point we will work together on final determination of shipping cost.
Shipments to outside the US and Canada will vary depending on your country. Typically the cost per album will be no more than $27. Combined shipping is welcome here as well, at a cost of $10 per additional album up to the maximum of four pounds.
All albums will be shipped in specially designed album hard cardboard mailers with a cardboard insert to prevent damage upon opening. The vinyl is removed from the cover and presented in a new poly sleeve. I am committed to one day turnaround on shipments. If I receive payment before 7:00 AM Central Time I will package and ship that same day.
Thank you for looking and please contact me with any questions.
