BILLIE HOLIDAY Strange Fruit 1972 Atlantic Black Fan Pressing SD 1614 Jazz Swing


Billie Holiday remains one of the most influential and emotionally resonant vocalists in the history of American music. Her ability to reshape melody and lyric through phrasing, timing, and emotional weight forever altered the language of jazz singing. “Strange Fruit” stands among the most historically significant recordings of the 20th century, a stark and unflinching protest that expanded the role of popular music as cultural and social commentary. Holiday’s recordings from this era capture a voice shaped by lived experience, vulnerability, and defiance, securing her place as a foundational figure in jazz, blues, and American music at large.


This is a vintage Atlantic Records gatefold pressing of Strange Fruit, issued under Atlantic’s stereo catalog series with the classic black and green “fan” labels. The album compiles essential performances drawn from Billie Holiday’s Commodore-era recordings, including “Strange Fruit,” “God Bless the Child,” “I Cover the Waterfront,” and “Fine and Mellow.” The gatefold sleeve features period photography and detailed liner notes, presenting one of the most enduring and widely collected editions of this landmark title. This copy is an early 1970s Atlantic pressing manufactured by Monarch Record Mfg. Co., cut at Atlantic Studios and housed in its original Atlantic inner sleeve.
