AVID Jazz ontinues with its Four Classic Album series with a re-mastered 2CD second set release from Billie Holiday, complete with original artwork, liner notes and personnel details
“Lover Man”; “The Blues Are Brewin’” “Solitude” and “Songs For Distingue Lovers”
This Double CD set features brand new restorations of all the tracks featured on the four albums. The first two albums - “Lover Man” and “The Blues Are Brewin’” - consist of tracks that were originally mastered for issue on 78s, while the tracks on the third album “Solitude” were mastered for both LP and 78, and those on “Songs For Distingué Lovers” are stereo recordings originally issued on LP only. In all cases, the earliest and cleanest source material has been used for the initial transfers for subsequent restoration. This has allowed us to present the best possible restorations of these classic Billie Holiday recordings.
