Annotazione

Notes

A budget compilation made by the now deceased Prism Leisure.
Contains a range of cuts fallen into public domain, covering essentially the late 30s and early 40s period with Chick Webb Orchestra.
Sound quality appears to be decent.
Documentation quality unknown.
A decent dig (given its length and price) for a quick glance at Ella early career - though obviously completists and fans won't find anything new in here.

Issues

It's unknown if #8 is from 17 March 1936 (likely) or from 14 April 1960 (unlikely, Verve material).
As well, there is a small doubt about the recording date of #17.
It's obvious as well there is a problem with #20: either they cut it down (by approximately 25 seconds) - which I would find pretty disturbing - or they mis-titled it and it's another different song (my pick).

If you own this and the sleeve (or a careful listen) provides these informations, you can contribute here!
