7 Classic Albums 2 - Billie Holiday by Real Gone Jazz

Musically is a great idea to have all the albums together. A pity they didn't do a box set with each CD in an individual paper sleeve though. The good thing about this is the price and the good quality of sound. The presentation could be better.

I enjoyed Billie's singing more than I had expected.

Love her nice to have as a package I do hope something will be produces to mark 100 years since her birth in 2015Good for old and new fans of Lady Day

This whole series are surpeb. If you love Billie then don't hesitate , nothingelse need be said !

Thank you very much

Very happy with product & service, excellent
