The complete classic Billie Holiday LP + 1 bonus track - limited edition pressing on 180g blue coloured vinyl, with cover art by William Paul Gottlieb, a leading jazz photographer of the 1930s and 1940s.
The recordings included on the classic album Lady Sings the Blues come from two different studio dates, a complete session recorded in 1956, and four tunes from a 1954 date. An additional track from the latter session has also been added here as a bonus. The emphasis on both sessions is placed on Billie Holiday's singing. Although important musicians are present on both dates, little room is left for any instrumental improvisation. Billie's voice is clearly the showcased instrument here, which as Miles Davis stated, "sounded like a horn anyway".
