Reviews
referencing The Essential Billie Holiday (The Columbia Years) (2×CD, Compilation, Reissue) 88697 78667/2
I was surprised at how good this compilation sounds considering how old the recordings are and that some of the source material might not have been from the original acetates.
If you’re a Billie Holliday fan then you will enjoy this 2 CD compilation.
Interestingly this culled and curated edition is definitely not the best of Billie but it is a whole lotta fun anyway. More importantly is the fact that the digital transfers are amazing, once again revealing just how good a product these conglomerates can conjure when it suit them. Obviously the myriad of travesties released specifically by Sony are by design.
