This is one incredible Verve Records double LP set.

It is 32 Cole Porter songs sung by Ella in 1956.

Here voice is perfect. The musical arraingements are marvelous and the mixing and engineering are stellar.

Every song brings up emotion or toe tapping or just plain memories.

Her phrasing is breathtaking!

BTW another George Grand special. Thanks so much George.

    I'm willing to pay those "big plan$" for some of the rest George. This one is absolutely incredible and worth paying top dollar for.

    I found the original and first album that Bob Dylan released on Columbia. It is titled "Bob Dylan". I got kind of curious about it. The cover is perfect and there is but one tiny scratch on side one. I went to a website and saw this album recently sold for $1,600 or better.

    I mean big plan$.

    George I've seen what appeared to be small scratchs on LPs that did not make any noise.
