Ostatni Box z 7 częściowej edycji firmy Mercury poświęconej tej wielkiej wokalistce Jazzowej zawierający na 3 dyskach nagrania z 1961 roku czyli najbardziej dojrzałego okresu artystki zarejestrowane już stereofoniczne czyli w najlepszej jakości z tamtych czasów.

Wydanie jest oczywiście remasterowane przez PolyGram a nagrania pochodzą ze wszystkich płyt nagranych z orkiestrą Quincy Jonesa w latach 60-tych.

Na 3 płytach zamieszczono 68 utworów o czasie łącznym 3 godziny 19 minut.

Myślę, że to duża gratka dla kolekcjonerów nagrań artystki i miłośników jej talentu oraz dla każdego, który lubi klasyczny jazz wokalny z ery bebopu.

Projekt bardzo rzadki wydany tylko raz w 1989 roku tutaj w Idealnym stanie praktycznie bez śladów używania.

Oczywiście, że Koniecznie.

68 utworów na 3 cd. Czas łączny: 3 godziny 19 minut. MERCURY RECORDS 1989. wyd. 3 x CD, Compilation, Remastered w grubym plastikowym pudełku.

Stan: Idealny łącznie z 12 stronicową książeczką.
