180g vinyl LP reissue of Billie Holidays Lady Sings the Blues + bonus CD digipak included containing the complete album plus 9 bonus tracks.

Lady Sings the Blues, I understand, was a rather stormy session in its first eight tracks; but to a listener who wasnt there, it comes through as a characteristic, satisfyingly troubling, indelible Billie monologue. Tempos are generally slow with some walking-medium. No other singer now in jazz gets so fully into the bloodstream as Billie still doesBillie still has the best vocal game in town when shes playing for keeps. Note, for example, the remarkably effective, understated I Thought About You on which Billie is backed only by Bobby Tucker. Nat Hentoff
