GUARANTEED !)♫♪♫♪♫♪♫♪♫♪♫♪♫♪♫♪♫♪♫♪♫A Jazz vocals classic: Ella and Billie share spotlight (each gets to have one side of the album) at the 1957 Newport Jazz Festival. Although Billie was less than two years away from her untimely demise in July 1959, you would not know that she was in final stages of her decline by listening to her lustrous Newport performance. And Ella herself was probably at the peak of her artistic and performing career. This is a might-hard-to-find original mono pressing of the album.TO SEE IF WE HAVE OTHER LISTED ITEMS BY ELLA FITZGERALD ► CLICK HERETO SEE IF WE HAVE OTHER LISTED ITEMS BY BILLIE HOLIDAY ► CLICK HERE♫♪♫♪♫♪♫♪♫♪♫♪♫♪♫♪♫♪♫♪♫CONDITION:THE RECORD(IMPORTANT NOTE: unless otherwise noted, ALL records are graded visually, and NOT play-graded!; we grade records under the strong, diffuse room light or discrete sunlight)(a) WE GRADE THE VINYL AS STRONG VG++ . A few light abrasions ARE VISIBLE, but they appear fairly insignificant relative to the overall condition of the vinyl, and are only moderately visually distracting. For most part, the vinyl looks impeccable, without any MAJOR visual flaws or imperfections. Much of the original luster is intact, and the vinyl shines and sparkles almost like new.(b) The record has a "deep groove" (an indent in the label about 1/2-inch from the edge of the label, which on SOME labels is associated with very early or first pressings).(c) The record is pressed on a beautiful, thick, inflexible vinyl, which was usually used for the first or very early pressings. Usually, the sound on such thick vinyl pressings is full-bodied, vivid, and even dramatic. Do not expect to obtain such a majestic analog sound from a digital recording!(d) The record is STILL in its original inner, perforated plastic baggy, which has - apparently with success - shielded the record from the harmful impact of elements over many years!(e) Of course, this is a full-bodied ANALOG recording, and not an inferior, digital recording!!!· THE COVERTHE COVER IS ABOUT VERY GOOD+ (VG+)The following flaws or imperfections are noted on the cover:- Cover has a completely split top seam. This split seam was taped by the previous owner with a piece of transparent (now yellowed) scotch tape- Cover has a tape residue (yellowish discoloration from the removed piece of old and aged scotch tape) (less than 4 square inches in size )- Visible shelf wear noted on the bottom seam and spine.- Cover has some light ring wear (nothing significant); On the scale from 1 to 10 (1 being the least, and 10 being the most severe), we assess the severi... read more
