Customer Reviews:

Billie and Lester together at last.......2001-04-26

This is a different Billie than the Billie on the 50's Verve recordings. Even when she sings a sad ballad, she seems sassy, chipper and somewhat upbeat. A twinkle in the eye. These are classic performances.

The recording, well, what can you expect from the 30's? Probably mastered on shellac 78 records, not tape. Adds to the charm. This is about as good a transfer as you can get from this source.

Good price.

Of the two in this series, vol 1 has the better songs, I think, but this is worth having also.
