Lady Sings the Blues

This is a vinyl LP repressing of the album by the jazz legend. The 1954 Los Angeles sessions present a fresher - sounding Billie, without reducing the quality of the songs recorded in New York City. When first released on Clef records, Down Beat magazine gave it a five - star review. They said of the 78 - rpm release of 'Love Me Or Leave Me' paired with 'I Thought About You': 'What counts is the penetratingly personal presence of Lady Day.' In 1956, there was a sold - out concert at New York City's Carnegie Hall featuring much of this album's material and readings from her autobiography. Despite voice limitations, Billie delivered a superb performance. Sadly, she passed away in less than three years.

This vinyl LP is a great addition to your music collection. To use it, simply place the record on your turntable and gently drop the needle on the groove. Enjoy the rich, warm sound of the jazz legend's performance. When handling the record, make sure your hands are clean to avoid leaving fingerprints or dirt on the vinyl. Always store the record in its sleeve to protect it from scratches and dust. Keep it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and heat to prevent warping. If the record gets dirty, you can use a vinyl record cleaning brush to gently remove the dust. Don't use harsh chemicals as they can damage the vinyl.
