Annotation

Notes

One of Fitzgerald very last outing - past her former top-form, this is still of interest.
Note that Fitzgerald is out on Someone to Watch Over Me.

Issues

Not too sure about the release date for the Pablo 2312-140 LP. If you have any details, please provide them.
Also, fine ears may confirm/infirm the presence of NHOP on a track by track basis.
