Look at this movie of my Philips FX603A radiogram (1950),and listen to the wonderful voice of Billie when she was 20 years old!What a little moonlight can do is from 1935,and the label is Columbia - CBS
This was from Billie's first recorded session with Teddy Wilson's band, on July 2, 1935, for Brunswick [this copy is most certainly the "red label" Columbia reissue from the late '40s {36206}]. Benny Goodman, Roy Eldridge, Ben Webster, John Trueheart, John Kirby, and Corny Cole are Teddy's "sidemen" here.
How true!! To me cd's sound so tinny that 78 rpm sounds almost perfect and what's this crapp about about cds lasting for ever. after a while the incoded information on them starts to break
down. on record depending how to take care of it could outlast any cd
Wow! Thanks for sharing this with us on here!

BILLIE HOLIDAY who died in 1959 is the scratched-by-life voice of this LP.
Pearl Bailey who eventually was named 'Ambassador of Love' is not heard on this recording.
