Ella Fitzgerald- The Cole Porter Songbook-2xLP

Ella Fitzgerald’s The Cole Porter Songbook collects 32 of Porter’s finest compositions, delivered with her signature clarity and swing. This 1976 reissue captures her collaboration with arranger and conductor Buddy Bregman, whose lush orchestrations provide a fitting frame for songs like “I Get A Kick Out Of You” and “Begin The Beguine.” Produced by Norman Granz, the album is a testament to Fitzgerald’s ability to navigate the Great American Songbook with both precision and warmth, making it a cornerstone for anyone interested in vocal jazz or classic songwriting. The gatefold sleeve adds a tactile dimension that’s as much a part of the experience as the music itself. Pressed as a double LP under Verve’s catalog VE-2-2511, this vinyl edition offers a robust listening session with minimal distractions. The record surfaces in VG+VG++ condition, indicating some light surface marks and minor paper scuffs but no defects that should interfere with play. For collectors and listeners who appreciate a well-curated set of standards, this pressing balances presentation and performance without demanding a magnifying glass to enjoy it. It’s a record that knows how to hold its own on the shelf and in the player alike.

Sound samples are included to help you get a feel for the music, but they may not always match the exact pressing or track version of the record listed. When in doubt, trust the photos and pressing information - that's the actual record you're buying.
