For sale are 5 releases from Ella Fitzgerald with 7 total LP's of music.  Includes beautiful copy of the double LP, "Ella Fitzgerald Sings The Rodgers and Hart Song Book," on the Verve label, original black label pressing MGV-4002-2 from 1956.  The vinyl is clean, the only easily visible scuff is very small on the first track of side 3, I hear just a tiny bit of noise around this point, the rest of this plays solid EX and you have to look in bright light to see any further imperfections.  The jacket is really nice as well, strong VG+, probably EX if not for a little stress in the corners, high gloss front, nearly perfect in the gatefold, just a hint of discoloration near the top on the back.  Really a strong copy overall.  Also a beautiful copy of the 2 LP set, Ella Fitzgerald Sings The Cole Porter Songbook, Verve VE-2-2511, the 1976 reissue in gatefold jacket.  The vinyl is clean and shiny, only really close inspection in bright light shows any minor flaws, and it plays close to perfectly, really strong.  The jacket is nice too, a couple of really thin creases near the edges and a little corner and edge wear, but quite nice overall.  Also a great sounding copy of Ella's Golden Favorites by Ella Fitzgerald, Decca deep groove LP DL-4129.  The vinyl is clean and nice with a little light surface wear, but it plays a pretty solid EX, very nice playback.  The jacket has light edge and surface wear, nice front and back, solid seams, pretty much as pictured with no surprises. Also  a great sounding rare Japan pressed copy of Ella Fitzgerald, "Whisper Not" on the Verve label reissued in 1981.  The vinyl is clean and shiny, just a hint of light surface wear in bright light, but really plays like an EX LP, very nice.  The jacket has a little wear, mostly corners, a bit on the edges, but nice main front and back with no splits, pretty much as pictured, no hidden surprises.  Finally a nice copy of Ella Sings Gershwin on Decca DL-8378, solid VG+ vinyl and jacket.
