Ella Fitzgerald: The Rodgers and Hart Songbook, Volume 1

~ Release by Ella Fitzgerald (see all versions of this release, 6 available)

Annotation

The second in the Songbook serie, this is another Ella's masterpiece, in a slightly more pop approach.
Recommended.
First released as a 2 LP set (MGV 4002-2) and standalone (MGV 4022 & MGV 4023), that were reissued as well as VE2 2519, MGVS 6009 & MGVS 6010.
Standalone editions were still issued separately in cd lately, though Volume 2 misses the alternate Lover monaural take that is found in the late 2 cd "complete" reedition.
