Description

Part of a small (but perfectly formed!) collection I will be listing of rare early stereo female jazz vocal UK-issued LPs, ALL FACTORY SAMPLE copies once owned by legendary UK producer and Columbia label-head Norman Newell. This is a lovely little collection and in great condition; perfect for audiophiles, these will sound great on any system, but play them on a good system and, WOW, this is what stereo should sound like, beautifully pressed, beautifully recorded, impeccable arrangements and the cream of vocal standards sung by the best vocalists!!   This one is Ella Fitzgerald's 'Sings The Harold Arlen Songbook Vol.1' from 1961, on UK HMV EMI Stereo blue/gold rim label CSD 1389, A-1/B-1 matrices, nice and heavy 160g vinyl. Tracks: Blues In The Night, Let's Fall In Love, Stormy Weather, Between The Devil And The Deep Blue Sea, My Shining Hour, Hooray For Love, This Time The Dream's On Me, That Old Black Magic, I've Got The World On A String, Let's Take A Walk Around The Block, Ill Wind, Acc-ent-tchu-ate The Positive   Front-laminated flipback G&L sleeve has lovely clean and shiny laminate and a little very minor corner wear! Superb! Sleeve grades at least EX+!   Vinyl has just one very small mark on the run-in to side 1, but NO MARKS on the playing surface! Audio is superb! The stereo separation and soundstage is just stunning, a testament to the recording engineers and producers, and the music is just sublime, of course! The vinyl certainly grades NEAR MINT!   SEE MY OTHER LISTINGS FOR VOL.2 OF THIS TITLE PLUS ALL 5 OF THE ELLA/GERSHWIN SONGBOOK LPS!!
