not sure this is stereo....original tapes are mono only and ive got the same sounds coming out of both speakers...cann anybody explain VMP's stereo designation?referencing Lady Sings The Blues (LP, Album, Club Edition, Reissue, Remastered, Stereo, Blue [Light], 180g) B0032667-01
Someone can give the recipe for the Stinger that is in the OBI?- Edited 2 months agoI already have and treasure the 1980s Japanese boxed set “Billie Holiday On Verve” (consisting of an outer box plus plastic inner sleeves, but no individual album jackets) which is supposedly an AAA remastering using the original master tapes:
https://www.discogs.com/release/3393288-Billie-Holiday-Billie-Holiday-On-Verve-1946-1959
But this B2B reissue blows away the box’s Lady Sings The Blues tracks. I wonder if Abbey Road Studios, or some other entity, performed some digital restoration voodoo. The highlight of the stark difference between the two versions is Billie’s voice - she is unbelievably present, clear, more forward on the B2B on all tracks.
Cheap jacket aside, the flawless vinyl and excellent artwork reproduction makes this a near perfect release. Do not sleep on this; if you can find a copy of this 2013 B2B cheaper than VMP’s reissue, then buy it with confidence. - Edited 10 months agoI found a well kept copy of this pressing at my local store. It sounds great, though the backing band sounds pretty "airy" to me, as if they were recorded from a distance away. It brings the focus to Billie's beautiful voice, but it takes away some clarity in my opinion. The pressing itself has no issues and is great quality, though it'd be interesting to to compare others.

Love this soundstage of this cut, but finding a decent amount of vocal sibilance/distortion on this one. Anybody else?referencing Lady Sings The Blues (CD, Album) 833 770-2
Excellent sounding edition of this extraordinary, and bizarre at times, smokey jazz lounge classic.referencing Lady Sings The Blues (LP, Album, Club Edition, Reissue, Remastered, Stereo, Blue [Light], 180g) B0032667-01
This is a fantastic record. I've been an average fan of Billie but I think this one will be on regular rotation.- everything sounds good, except B6. I Thought About You, not sure why it sounds distortion and loud....
