Here is a great original 1958 Verve Stereo of this classic LP. One of the best sounding records I have heard for awhile. No reissue can touch this pressing. Sides 1,2 & 3 play Mint Minus to Near Mint with no spindle marks, scuffs or scratches. Side 4 has three light surface scratches that only have a few low level ticks in two or three spots. Really hard to find a first pressing in this almost un-played condition. Stereo copies are also tough to locate as mono is much more common in this era. Original inner sleeves. The cover is pretty nice overall, but has strips of scotch tape along the top on both sides of the gatefold that is not that noticeable unless you are looking close. Fantastic song selection and arrangements. A lot of great music on these two LPs. Check my other listings for another Ella Songbook double LP. Can combine shipping. US buyer pays $5.00 for USPS Media Mail. Overseas Air Mail is $29 (it is heavy). Check my feedback for super fast and sturdy shipping. All records are cleaned on a VPI record cleaning machine for best sound. All records play graded on a high end system and turntable.
