5.0 out of 5 stars
How many times can these tracks be re-issued?, November 27, 2009
This review is from: Complete Commodore & Decca Masters (Audio CD)
Commodore released them about 4 times.... Decca released them at least that many... now we have yet another repackaging by Hip-O. Billie Holiday has been exploited in life and death-- her family receives nothing in royalties for these timeless, immortal performances. These classic tracks will be retread forever -- good in a sense that they will never be forgotten-- but bad in that this release only adds to the continuum of a series of ripoffs of one of the greatest vocalists who ever lived. There is no new information in this set.
