The Wonderful Sounds Of Female Vocals

I’m ashamed to admit that I bought this LP when it first came out several years ago, but it unfortunately found its way towards the bottom of my trillion piece "to be listened to" stack of records.

Well, I finally listened to it today and WOW, pisses me off I waited.

What an absolutely fantastic recording. 2 LP set on heavy weight vinyl. All original master tapes and pressed at QRP. This is, of course on the Analogue Productions label.

Hyperbole? That’s kinda what I thought until I listened to it. I have some very special LPs that are "reference" quality. This has just been added to that list.

Highly recommended!!! (It’s still available too).

Took a look at the lineup. Great choices.

I have many of the artists on period presses. Ella,Julie and Dusty on mono, and the rest in stereo.

All are definitely "you are there" recordings. No need for "audiophile"(audiophool in my case) pressings.

If curious about more Ella, her  version of "Black Coffee" on  "Let no man write me Epitaph" is the reference for any singer to follow, along with several other cuts. I believe there is a 45RPM. I don't know if that's the version on your album. It's just Ella and piano.
