Platinum Collection

There is no one like Billie Holiday, and these are great sounding LPs. The source material was recorded between 1934 and 1958, so of course there is variation in the quality. But these pressings are great considering the original recording quality. Normally I don't buy a lot of compilations, but this is an artist where it's necessary unless you want a suitcase full of 78s. The song selections for this compilation are fantastic; I can't imagine it being better. The records do come with plain paper inner sleeves, so you'll probably want to replace those, but the gatefold is pretty decent, and has some great photos. The white vinyl is a nice touch too. Highly recommended.

A great deal. The audio sounds good. The cover artwork is very nice. And the white discs are nice.

I love Billie Holiday and have wanted this collection for a few years. Finally broke down and bought for my birthday. It is very elegant and looks great on my record player shelf. Plays nicely and I love the song selection. It is pricy but worth every penny.

Great addition to a vinyl collection for those who enjoy her wonderful music

I wanted to add a review that gives a little more perspective on this white vinyl Billie Holiday release. I have been on the lookout for a BH vinyl release that was reasonably priced and covered along of ground, as she had output that spanned the 40’s and 50’s. I was struggling to find anything that fit the bill until this was released. I am an “amateur audiophile” and wanted a vinyl record as they often have the most dynamic and full sound and that is definitely true if this vinyl release. The order of songs are not in chronological order and bounce from the the late 30’s to the late 50’s. Often, you can tell the late 30’s songs are a bit thinner and less three dimensional than the later output. The surface noise is also a bit more significant on the 30’s songs. Having said that, the surface noise in general is quite low and overall the album sounds fantastic. I would imagine this is about as good as it gets if you are looking for an excellent and great sounding BH record. The white vinyl is cool looking and high quality, no warping, hole in the right place, right size, etc. the album cover is gatefold and has 4 photos of BH on the inside with song authors and dates of each recording on the interior of the gatefold. Overall, a very solid BH vinyl record for a reasonable price!
