Description

This is a super nice
1st press
BILLIE HOLIDAY
LP,
1957
MGM SE-3764.
This would be her final album.  She was only 44, troubled, and would die only four months after this album was released. She had also lost her lifelong friend and music partner Lester Young 4 days after releasing this album.
As you would expect, this is a thick, sturdy and heavy album with the American style thick cardboard and paste over cover.   This is a really nice specimen.  The c
over only has a light wear at mouth and some light discoloration on back, otherwise very solid spine, edges and corners, EX+.  The vinyl is stiff and inflexible, deep groove and looks great.  It played with some crackle, VG++/EX-.
VINYL:  EX-
COVER:  EX+
SHRINK:  Some rub wear
SPLITS:  NO, Very solid edges
