Dreams Come True

~ Release by Ella Fitzgerald (see all versions of this release, 1 available)

Annotation

Notes

Obscure budget bundling together Fitzgerald cuts from the Chick Webb orchestra period (1935-1941).
Unless found at a very low price, almost everyone should prefer a better set, either the Verve Early Years, or one of the completists stuff (eg: The Chronological).

Issues

There is a small doubt whether track 1 was recorded on June 12 or October 12 1935. If you have additional information, please contribute them.
